Special Report: Russian soldiers quit over Ukraine
MOSCOW/DONETSK | By Maria Tsvetkova
Some Russian soldiers are quitting the army because of the conflict in Ukraine, several soldiers and human rights activists have told Reuters. Their accounts call into question the Kremlin's continued assertions that no Russian soldiers have been sent to Ukraine, and that any Russians fighting alongside rebels there are volunteers.
Evidence for Russians fighting in Ukraine – Russian army equipment found in the country, testimony from soldiers' families and from Ukrainians who say they were captured by Russian paratroopers – is abundant. Associates of Boris Nemtsov, a prominent Kremlin critic killed in February, will soon publish a report which they say will contain new evidence of the Russian military presence in Ukraine.
Until now, however, it has been extremely rare to find Russian soldiers who have fought there and are willing to talk. It is even rarer to find soldiers who have quit the army. Five soldiers who recently quit, including two who said they left rather than serve in Ukraine, have told Reuters of their experiences.

The Analysis of the Combat Situation and the Prediction of Warfare on May 7, 2015
2 hours ago
Prepared by Artyom Vasilenko, exclusively for InformNapalm.After releasing the Cossacks, who fought as part of the illegal armed groups of so-called Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR), to control of command of the Russian armed forces a similar action was started in DNR.
During May 6, 2015 year in Donetsk there was fighting between the private military company of Rinat Akhmetov and the Vostok battalion, representatives of the Russian armed forces and the Cossack’s units. In particular, the operations were noticed in the area of the Forum shopping centre, the 76th school, the Sokol market and etc.
The next stage of the work of the contact group was held in Minsk on May 6, after which the representative of the Russian Federation dropped a hint about the autonomy of the Donbass region in Ukraine. The leadership of the Russian armed forces continue of the elimination of uncooperative Cossacks and building the full-fledged armed forces on the occupied territory. In addition, we should mention the proclamation of martial law in Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts.
Donetsk:
The terrorists continue to exercise in operational coordination; the artillery salvos were heard in the area of Durna Balka settlement where the militant training centre is located. In addition, according to unverified data, there was the movement of the military equipment in Petrovskyi district of the city (the movement of column from 14:00 to 16:00), which may indicate the preparation of attack towards Mariinka.
Disturbing military activities continue in Pesky.
The analysis of the movement of the convoys on N21 route through towns of Shakhtarsk, Torez, Snizhne towards the East can indicate the possible rotation of units of the Russian armed forces based in Donetsk. This is most likely connected to mopping–up operation against militants. So, the movement of convoys of vehicles to a total of 30 units was seen in Shakhtarsk, the military equipment was preceded in an easterly direction. There is also the Strela-10 air missile system was seen. Delivery of the fuel and ammunition from Russia continues to the anchor station of Ilovaisk (on May 6 the arrival of new troop train was noted, as well as the sending of up to 154 fuel servicing units from Ilovaisk).
We should note that activity of terrorists on Dzershinsk’s direction. City is shelled by militants regularly. The rotation was held in Horlivka. Units of the local terroristic-militants were sent to the Mariupol area. Instead of them was noticed arrival of the Russian Armed Forces. Close to Mykytivka villiage militants demonstratively organize the fortified area. From the 7th of May there are excavators and cranes working.
The illegal armed groups in Lugansk oblast continue to acute situation in the Shchastya area by raids of artillery and shootings. Also they are trying to give false information to the Ukrainian Armed forces commandment. That is why they imitate gathering of the armoured vehicle and tank group. In Lysychansk direction terrorists are continuing to increase their forces: it was noticed in the area of Slovyanoserbsk.
Fighting in the area of Shyrokyne is continuing. Terroristic-militants are gaining new forces, including those from Horlivka, which were mentioned before. Also terrorists are more active in area of Hranitne shelled by artillery.
Event analysis shows that terrorists continue to keep tension by constant manoeuvres with forces and weaponry to cover their further intentions.
Increasing of the militant’s activity in Horlivka can be the sign of preparations to attack on direction Horlivka- Kostiantynivka and Horlivka-Artemivsk. It is confirmed by demonstrative building of the checkpoint and arrival of the new forces to the town.
Sending of the locals out of Horlivka to Shyrokyne is one more prove that attack from Novoazovsk to Mariupol has the second priority, unless the risk is still exists.
The attack on Pervomaisk -Artemivsk line is still actual, but imitation in Mykolaivka makes us to think that direction of Shchastya and Stanytsia Luhanska has no first priority. We should note the activation of the active resistance in the crisis area. During May 6 we have notes about explosions on the weapon storage in Stakhaniv, extermination of the vehicles in the Samsonove and Sakhanka areas. It can be the sign that partisan movement got under central command.

Key takeaways:
In campaign for #Debaltseve in February 2015 #Russia sent Buryats because soldiers from regions closer to Ukraine were unwilling to fight.
In summer 2014 Russian soldiers fighting in #Ukraine were from Central #Russia, North Caucasus, Volga region. http://ru.reuters.com/article/topNew...150510?sp=true
What is interesting here is WHY did it take mainstream media so long to pickup on the different Russian units WHEN they had been repeatedly identified by social media open source analysis together with geo tagging??
EVEN the Buryats were picked up via an independent Russia media interview together with video footage of the video and open source social media analysis had even identified the actual Russian unit.
WHY is there such an distaste by mainstream media to work together with social media sources to get a better product out to all readers??

Excellent reporting on the Debaltsvev fighting by a Ukrainian officer who fought there and made the somewhat hectic but successful tactical field commanders self planned strategic withdrawal.
Next to the Donetsk airport fighting--one of the hardest fights yet of this Russo Ukrainian war WHERE even Putin was crowing about the expected major victory over the UA BUT yet the UA was highly resilient and inflicted heavy loses on the Russians and her mercenaries.
Please, read all 8 parts of my English-language #Debaltseve Battle Diary by this link https://viktorkovalenko.wordpress.co...of-debaltseve/ … 9th part to publish today.
