Russian generals who lead Putin's war from inside Ukraine

1-22-19  

  At least 11 Russian generals have participated in the war in the Donbass and have led the L / DPR groups since the beginning of the war.... in the leading positions of the militant groups, staying in the occupied part of Donbass....

  Spokesman of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Vadim Skibitsky, noted that Russian officers have cover documents.  They are made in Russia.  “These are completely different surnames, first names, middle names.  In addition a means such as providing “passports” of the so-called “DPR” and “LPR” is now being used very actively to hide participation and say that it is “local people ”and “citizens” of these self-proclaimed “republics” fighting on the territory of Ukraine,” he noted.  https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=https://www.obozrevatel.com/crime/raskryityi-imena-generalov-rf-voevavshih-na-donbasse-obnarodovanyi-foto.htm&prev=search

many dirt tracks in the region remained accessible for smugglers for years.  Later, the roads bypassing the official crossing points became useful for the Russian invasion and further military supply missions.  As the OSCE footage shows, the Russian military still uses the uncontrolled roads, avoiding any attention by the civilians who cross the border, as well as evading the checks of the Russian border service, which is a structural part of the Federal Security Service (FSB).

The military covered trucks spotted by the OSCE can be used to transport manpower or ammunition. What the OSCE describes looks like rotations of the troops.  Nevertheless, the trucks could carry munitions as well.

In May and later on in 2014, Russia concentrated its troops along the Ukrainian eastern border covering the deployments as military games. Multiple transborder artillery attacks on Ukrainian troops took place during the summer as Ukraine was attempting to take control of its border. Invasions of Russian regulars and Russian-trained locals occurred....

Covertly, Russia sends purely military convoys, including military hardware, ammunition, and manpower for troop rotation.  The local railroads are being used as well.

Russian regular military formations are not barracked in the occupied territory because they can be deployed when needed within several hours from Russia’s Rostov Oblast, as it happened in summer-fall 2014 and later in January 2015. However locally, Russia formed two Army Corps, which consist of the local and Russian mercenaries under the direct command of the Russian 8th Army. The local armies are fully supplied from Russia with ammunition, gear, manpower, weapons, equipment, fuel, foodstuffs, cash rubles for wages....

 Another paragraph of the Minsk Agreements impossible for Russia is the one calling for the pullout of all foreign armed formations, military equipment and mercenaries from the territory of Ukraine. Without the Russian military control, the puppet statelets would soon disappear.    http://euromaidanpress.com/2018/11/06/the-hidden-invasion-russias-military-convoys-to-ukraine-since-2014/

 In the case of a fatal acid attack in December Ukraine Prosecutor General Lutsenko announced the name of another key suspect–ex-convict Oleksiy Levin (aka Moskalenko) who according to authorities had already left Ukraine.... As reported by media, Manher also denied any business connections with Levin.  However, one week  before the attack on Kateryna Handziuk, Manher’s lawyer Andriy Murashkyn presented Levin with a recreational property on the Black Sea at next-to-no cost.  Murashkyn claimed he had only rented the property to Levin but had no explanation for why the rent was so exceedingly low: UAH 500 (about $18) per month.  He claimed he was unaware of Levin’s criminal past nor could he have known his future intentions.  Manher also denied having any knowledge of business connections between Murashkyn and Levin.  ...

On 11 February Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko posted on his Facebook page that Manher was being held on suspicion of organizing the murder.   http://euromaidanpress.com/2019/02/15/key-suspect-in-ordering-murder-of-ukrainian-activist-handziuk-detained-thanks-to-activist-pressure/
