The classic and rocket artillery units were noticed in Rostov Oblast near the border of Ukraine in October, 2014 (in Russian):\r\n- <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/1806-boevye-raschety-rszo-grad-ot-19-j-msbr-partyzanyashhye-v-lesah-vdol-granytsy-s-ukraynoj\" target=\"_blank\">BM-21 'Grad' combat crews at the Ukrainian border<\/a>\r\n- <a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/2019-sau-msta-s-19-j-msbr-yz-severnoj-osetyy-na-granytse-s-ukraynoj\" target=\"_blank\">Self-Propelled mortar 'Msta-S' from North Ossetia\u00a0at the Ukrainian border<\/a>\r\n\r\nThe new OSINT investigation discovers a group of\u00a0snipers of the same Russian military formation from Vladikavkaz. These contract soldiers also take part in the 'assignments to Ukraine'. The initial information is provided by the <a href=\"https:\/\/psb4ukr.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">'Peacekeeper'<\/a> center.\r\n\r\nIn particular, the <a href=\"https:\/\/vk.com\/id245691600\" target=\"_blank\">VK online\u00a0account<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/archive.is\/FUfP9\" target=\"_blank\">archive<\/a>) of <strong>Gennady Zakachurin<\/strong> was found. According to the information from the\u00a0profile, he served in the sniper company of the 19th brigade till the late fall in\u00a02014. Also Gennady's photo album contains\u00a0a set of pictures with geotags from Donbas, including the Donetsk airport. Those pictures were uploaded in May, 2015. Attention should be paid to some\u00a0other pictures as well - like the group photo of the Russian contract servicemen of the 19th brigade together with\u00a0the 'Novorossiya' militants from the 'Somali' armed formation.\r\n\r\nChecking the pictures from the previous year you can see the one from June, 2014 -\u00a0with the hidden face, Russian\u00a0'Gorka' camouflage and the white arm\u00a0bands, used by the\u00a0militants. It seems like Gennady served in\u00a0the 19th\u00a0brigade and was assigned to 'Somali' formation at the same time\u00a0(based on the information below and validated by the pictures and contacts). Also below you can find pictures from Donetsk made in an\u00a0apartment rented by a Russian mercenary 'Samyi Schastlivyi' [<em>The happiest<\/em>] from Saint Petersburg, but we will return to him a little bit later.\r\n\r\nNoteworthy,\u00a0the 4th (Donetsk airport area) and 6th (in the apartment) photos\u00a0show Zakachurin posing with <strong>Ilya Rudyh<\/strong>, whose appendage to the Russian army cannot be questioned. On another group picture Zakachurin is with Ilya Rudyh and <strong>Dmitry Abdageev<\/strong> at the bus station\u00a0in the city of Rostov, Russia.
