This is another article with additional evidence of the fact that the Russian artillery takes part in the war in Donbas. We disclose information about certain military units and servicemen who participated in shellings of the Ukrainian territories over the state border.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The local operation in the Eastern Ukraine could have been finished 18 months ago, when the first Ukrainian soldiers, having pressed the advance against the ‘Novorossiya’ armed formations, almost\u00a0tightened assault near the border with Russia.\u00a0Russians understood that they did not lead the dance and decided to do a dirty trick – conduct artillery and missiles strikes from the bordering territories of Rostov Oblast followed by the invasion of tactical groups concentrated along the borders. There is plenty of evidence describing the events of those days, and despite attempts of\u00a0the Russian security services to clean up the information we have found new facts\u00a0proving the participation of their armed forces in battles in the summer-fall\u00a0of 2014. The first article of this series was published on December 18<\/a>. Thanks to\u00a0a\u00a0contract sergeant from the 291st artillery brigade we could track the ‘assignment’ of one of the howitzer divisions factoring in timing and geography of the events.<\/p>\n

The new investigation presents details of the ‘Rostov-Ukraine assignment’ of the 4th howitzer battery of the 291st artillery brigade (military unit No. 64670, the 58th general army, Southern Military District, stanitsa Troitskaya, Republic of Ingushetia, Russia)<\/strong>. The information gathered during a\u00a0new\u00a0OSINT investigation vividly shows the ‘tour of duty’ of war criminal D. Khizhnyak, a conscript soldier of this unit.<\/p>\n

Khizhnyak Danil Andreevich<\/strong>, 21 years old (born in Tikhoretsk, Krasnodar krai, on June 26 of 1994). Danil began his service in November of 2013 and was sent to the 291st brigade located in Ingushetia; he left the military service in the end of November, 2014.<\/p>\n

Danil\u00a0has several social accounts:<\/p>\n
