The Special Monitoring Mission of OSCE reported\u00a0on January 17<\/a>\u00a0that the illegal armed formations of the so-called ‘DPR’ occupied\u00a0part of a\u00a0hospital in Telmanove.<\/p>\n

The observers said: “In ‘DPR’-controlled Telmanove (50 km north-east of Mariupol), the SMM on 16 January observed that part of the hospital building was occupied by armed ‘DPR’ members, and sandbags and ammunition boxes were placed around the entrance and at windows”.\u00a0The Mission monitors noted that another building in the town was similarly fortified.<\/p>\n

Based on this data, the volunteers of InformNapalm conducted\u00a0supplemental reconnaissance using the open sources of information trying to find additional info about Telmanove settlement and its suburbs. We found a cluster of D-30A 122mm howitzers and army trucks which belonged to the so-called 1st motorized rifle brigade of ‘DPR armed forces’. This equipment was registered in the north-east edge of the village, in 2 km from the hospital building,\u00a0which the militants had made their point of dislocation.<\/p>\n

It is noteworthy that the presence of guns of caliber of more than 100 mm in this locality violates the Minsk agreements. The guns of this type have to be withdrawn to a distance of over 25 kilometers. Let us remind you\u00a0that the\u00a0demarcation line\u00a0lies in\u00a0less than 12 kilometers to the west of Telmanovo.<\/p>\n

The starting point of our investigation is the social profile<\/a> of some Maskim Tor (the last name is not real):

His album<\/a> is named ‘1st Slavic’ (the full name of this illegal armed formation is ‘the 1st separate Slavic motorized rifle brigade, unit No. 08801<\/em>‘). The pictures were uploaded on January 29, 2016. Taking into account that the militants’ outfit\u00a0seen in pictures is of winter type, we can assume that the photos are fresh. So, this is the information we acquired during the analysis:<\/p>\n
