Volunteer Rebel Sheds Light On Russian Military Involvement In Eastern Ukraine
By Nail Khisamiev and Merhat Sharipzhan
July 22, 2015
It has been estimated that the daily cost for Russia to support the eastern Ukraine and their forces sitting on the border is approximately 30-40M USDs per day or doing the math a low of 900M USD to 1.2B USDs per month.Quote:
Russian troops regularly enter separatist-controlled territory in eastern Ukraine and serve there on a rotational basis, according to a volunteer who has been fighting with the insurgents since October.
Rustam, a Russian citizen from Tatarstan's Saba district who gave only his first name, made the claims in a telephone interview with RFE/RL's Tatar-Bashkir Service on July 20.
He said that regular Russian troops enter Ukraine's Luhansk and Donetsk regions for a period of one week before they leave and are replaced by fresh forces. Russia also regularly sends military instructors to Ukraine's east to train pro-Russian separatists, according to Rustam.
Moscow has officially denied any involvement in fighting in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, the areas of conflict in which the United Nations estimates that more than 6,400 people have been killed.
Rustam, a 25-year-old Muslim, served a mandatory one-year military term in the Russian Army in 2009-10. Later, in 2011-14, he served on a contractual basis with a Russian military unit stationed in the North Caucasus region of Chechnya.
From there, after learning on the Internet how to link up with pro-Russian forces in eastern Ukraine, he joined the separatists as a volunteer in 2014.
Once on the ground, Rustam learned that every separatist unit in eastern Ukraine has one military instructor sent from Russia. He claims that these instructors were sent under the guise of contractors.
Overall, he estimates that every unit "has some 15 volunteers from Russia" fighting for it. The other fighters, he says, "are local people."

Asked why he wanted to join the separatists, Rustam echoed a line often used in Russian media.
“Well, it is about fascism here. Fascism. They have not fully eradicated followers of Hitler and Bandera here," he said. "I came here to fight against them."
Rustam said that his involvement was just, adding that many other Muslims -- including Azerbaijanis, Chechens, and others -- are among the separatist troops in eastern Ukraine.
He also says that he has never received any official payments for his service in Ukraine.
"I have never signed any documents related to payments. My name and surname has never been added officially to any form. There is no official information about me here as I came here just to help," Rustam said. "My commanders give me some money to buy clothes, food, and for some leisure. But officially, I have never been paid."
He added that the commanders give money in Russian rubles brought by armored cars on a daily basis. Rustam said that he does not know where the armored cars come from.
AND that now since roughly August 2014.
Ceasefire appears to suddenly to be holding--every now and then something but in general holding--no Ukrainian KIAs/WIAs to report from today.
More Russian nuclear threats—seems that Putin and his FM had thought the US was going to take down the missile shield in exchange for their support in the Iranian deal and the Russian FM was somewhat dazed in a recent comment when he heard that Obama had stated that was not going to be the case—thus this “threat”.

Russian paratrooper Akylbek Kuvanov was caught red-handed in vehicle of Donbas battalion, blogger Pavlushko says. PHOTOS
Ukrainian team of investigative bloggers from InformNapalm was able to identify another Russian serviceman in the Donbas.
Quote:
As reported by Censor.NET, the material below was prepared by investigative blogger Anton Pavlushko for InformNapalm.org.
"Wikipedia describes the battle of Ilovaisk as a fierce fighting in the area [eastern Ukraine] between Ukrainian troops (Armed Forces and the Ministry of Internal Affairs' troops) on one side and the armed groups of self-proclaimed "DPR" ["Donetsk People's Republic"] on the other side. It is worth mentioning that the Ukrainian version of the same article on Wiki refers to Russian occupation forces as combatants against the Ukrainian security forces. In another OSINT-investigation we'll show how each and every mistake, including taking of the most insignificant selfie, could serve as a piece of evidence to file for a future tribunal.
"We were able to identify another Russian military serviceman in the Donbas as paratrooper Akylbek Kuvanov from Orenburg, who has posted on his "VKontakte" page (archive here) a photo of himself at the wheel of a crashed military-style jeep.

Separatists beg Russia for more guns complaining of being abandoned, - The Times
InoPressa reports citing the article in The Times by Jack Losh, Censor.NET informs.
Quote:
Jack Losh wrote: "A Russian separatist commander has accused Moscow of abandoning rebels in eastern Ukraine and called on it to supply more weapons.
The article reads: "Alexei Markov, of the Ghost Brigade in the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic, said that his fighters were eager to launch a summer offensive, but found themselves unable to respond to constant artillery attacks from the Ukrainian army.
"We want weapons from Moscow - we have very few and are running short of supplies. We need more troops, more artillery, more combat vehicles," - Markov said.
According to Jack Losh, the section of the front line, where the Ghost Brigade is deployed, is one of the forgotten corners of the conflict.
According to the author of the article, there are fighters from Chechnya, Siberia, Western Russia and Ukraine, as well as two volunteers neo-Stalinists from Italy in Markov's formation.
An unnamed source among the separatists told the newspaper that the offensive could be launched in the autumn after the elections in the government-controlled territory of Ukraine adding that there will presumably be a stand-off until that time.
