Andrei Kozyrenko was also truly surprised that the Russian propaganda statements about the 'fascist junta' and 'Nazis' appeared to be lies. He confirmed he did not see any 'swastikas\u00a0or crucified babies'.\r\n\r\nAccording to 'Kozyr' he joined the Russian terrorists in Sloviansk in 2014. And even has taken the post\u00a0of\u00a0the DNR's 7th brigade commander.\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/11834962_543344012480143_6839148334067647770_o.jpg\" alt=\"\u0410\u043d\u0434\u0440\u0435\u0439 \u041a\u043e\u0437\u044b\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043a\u043e (\u041a\u043e\u0437\u044b\u0440\u044c) \" \/>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/11223563_543348265813051_4997741656360041066_o.jpg\" alt=\"\u041a\u043e\u0437\u044b\u0440\u044c - \u043a\u043e\u043c\u0430\u043d\u0434\u0438\u0440 1 \u0431\u0430\u0442\u0430\u043b\u044c\u043e\u043d\u0430 7-\u0439 \u0431\u0440\u0438\u0433\u0430\u0434\u044b \u0414\u041d\u0420\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe 'battalion commander' was identified by the video posted on November 15, 2014. This video shows how militants of two newly created platoons of the 7th separate rifle brigade swear the oath in Torez, Donetsk Oblast. In the end of the formal event colonel Kozyrenko A.V.,\u00a0the deputy brigade commander, gives an interview to a military correspondent of the 'Novorossiya TV' channel\u00a0about the brigade's creation\u00a0and the war history of the flag.\r\n\r\nAlso we succeeded in getting another video of\u00a0Andrei Kozyrenko who gave\u00a0comments being on the same checkpoint where he was a year ago with the DNR illegal band formations under the command of Igor Girkin (Strelkov).\r\n\r\nHe states that 'the Minks [agreement] is just a PR action from 4 sides'.\r\n\r\n<strong>Sloviansk checkpoint video (in Russian):\r\n<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pJdcnW6V8Ag\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe>\r\n\r\n<em><strong>For the reference:<\/strong><\/em>\r\n\r\nThe 7th separate motorized rifle brigade (military unit No. 08807) reports to the People's militia of the Ministry of Defense of DNR.\r\n\r\nIt has its own tactical sign as a Roman numeral\u00a0'VII' in a\u00a0white pentagon, which is used to mark the vehicles.\r\n\r\nThe brigade was formed in Torez in November, 2014.
