Special Operations Forces have obtained data on the military of the 83rd Separate Air Assault Brigade stationed in Ussuriisk, Primorsky Krai, in the Far East of the Russian Federation, who were involved in the atrocities in Bucha.

Quote: "Some Russian military personnel might believe that they will be able to avoid publicity and, accordingly, punishment. But the experience of investigating the Malaysian Airlines MH17 crash proved otherwise.

As you will know, some information about the commanders and direct perpetrators of the attack against the airliner was provided by certain Russian military personnel who decided to make use of the witness protection programme offered by the Netherlands in partnership with other European countries.

They obviously realised that the international investigation would reveal all the details of the disaster sooner or later, and therefore it would be better to have the status of a witness than one of the accused.

The same logic was probably shared by certain concerned servicemen from the 83rd Separate Airborne Assault Brigade (military unit 71289, permanent deployment point: Ussuriisk, Primorsky Krai).

A whole array of data on military personnel from this unit was recently sent to the address of the National Resistance Centre (NRC). Together with other units, this brigade took part in the offensive on Kyiv Oblast in February 2022 and were ‘spotted’ in Bucha.

The NRC is now in possession of various materials – photos, passports, service certificates, addresses and photos of places of residence, financial documents. And not only relating to the military themselves, but also their family members. There is also a great deal of official information, such as orders, instructions, lists of personnel, data, etc."

Details: It is noted that the verification of the accuracy of the data sent has already been completed. The NRC is now starting to publish this data in a series. There are also internal passports, military certificates, birth certificates and car registration certificates.

In addition, there are applications for official external passports to be issued so that units could be sent on work trips to Syria.

Now the NRC also has information on members of the families of paratroopers in the 83rd Brigade.

Quote: "There are photos of personnel, a lot of them. And not only for documents, but also, for example, for the display board, which Captain Valery Khryunov, the commander of the 2nd Howitzer Artillery Battery of the Howitzer Artillery Division of the Guard, really wanted to get onto. By the way, he got married on 1 July 2016. But it looks like it won’t be his wedding that will make him bitter [a reference to the Russian custom of shouting "Bitter!" at weddings until the bride and groom kiss].

In its next publication, the NRC will share a new batch of documents and describe how the combat training of Russian paratroopers is organised. Thanks to the conscientious commanders, we will also be able to arrange a tour of the occupiers’ quarters.

And they themselves can be acutely aware that none of them will escape responsibility, especially since war crimes have no statute of limitations. And now Ukraine has much more data for this purpose."
