InformNapalm's reconnaissance group expresses its gratitude to the mothers of the Russian mercenaries for documenting\u00a0the crimes of their children.

On October 21, 2015 we already saw <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wiAL4yY4RIE\">the fake withdrawal of tanks<\/a>, then they demonstrated a withdrawal of artillery on the distance of 30 kilometers from the contact\u00a0line, and told that this artillery was then transferred to Ilovaysk preservation base. The equipment and weaponry withdrawal was confirmed by the Russian 'observers', in particular, by <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/0Tpj-oERCjg?t=1m47s\">Khasan Kaloev<\/a>, the Russian Representative to the Common center for Control and Coordination of issues related to the ceasefire regime<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, who stated the following: \"Starting from today, after the OSCE mission conducts the verification of this weaponry, we can state\u00a0that all artillery systems of 'DPR' have been withdrawn\". \u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to numerous messages from Navoazovsk residents, the heavy weaponry, including artillery and armored vehicles has not been withdrawn, but just\u00a0hidden nearby \u2013 in different kinds of agricultural and industry buildings and hangars.
