APRIL 25, 2015 MOSCOW COURT ANNOUNCED A FINAL ACCUSATION OF NADIYA SAVCHENKO. It is a murder and an illegal crossing the border with Russia. On Friday, April 25, Russian investigators presented the charges to the Ukrainian aviatress and MP of Ukraine Nadiya Savchenko in the final version. Savchenko is charged in complicity of the murder of two or more persons, aiding in the attempted murder of two or more persons using a dangerous method, for reasons of political hate, by a group of people and illegal border crossing. The criminal case of the illegal border crossing was opened in January. Nadiya herself, her relatives and her defenders claim that Ukrainian aviatress had been captured secretly and transported across the border from Luhansk in Russia. According to Russian investigators, during the war in the region of Lugansk in June 2014 Savchenko, knowing the location coordinates of RTR Russian journalists and other civilians in Luhansk gave this information to the Ukrainian military formations. Then, having these coordinates the shelling was conducted, which killed employees of RTR Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshyn. Lawyers of Nadiya Savchenko repeatedly stated that they had provided the investigators with facts of her innocence and petitioned for the abolition of her arrest. But the Court left Nadiya in custody. The fate of the Ukrainian aviatress is discussed even in the US Congress. Committee on Foreign Affairs finalizes a resolution, acknowledging Savchenko as a prisoner of war.
THE TERRORISTS OFFER AN AMNESTY IN RETURN FOR THE SERVICE IN THE RANKS OF “DONETSK PEOPLE REPUBLIC”.

THE DONBASS HAS BECOME A TESTING GROUND FOR NEW RUSSIAN WEAPONS, RUSSIAN ARMY SHELL FROM THE MODIFIED MILITARY INSTALLATIONS “CORNET”. The Donbass has become a testing ground for new Russian weapons. Thus, during the fightings in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions the Russia Army actively uses military “Cornet” made in 2009. No one doubts the fact that the Donetsk and Luhansk region became a testing ground for new Russian weapons. T-72B3, ZRPK “Armor-S”, BTR-82 and many others are seen now in the news. The use of modern weapons is not so easy to hide, because of the remaining evidences of its use as fragments of shells, for example we can observe the usage of the military installation “Cornet” in the ATO. On the photo we can see the fragments of “Cornet”, only at one position of the Ukrainian Army near Schastya they made about two dozens of launches from “Cornet’. Modern modification of missile “Cornet” have the ability of 1200 - 1300 mm for armor and fire range up to 8 km. Also in this case it is provided a salvo firing with two missiles in a laser beam. Only a dynamic tandem “Doublet” can provide a protection against the “Cornet”.

The process was photographed by Marat Safarhalin from the 16th Special Forces Brigade from Tambov of Russia, laying out photos in a social network. From a “green man” in full gear, this Russian soldier easily became a local “miner” in sneakers.

Knowing the fact that he gave an oath of allegiance to Russia in June 2013, at the time of the seizure of the peninsula he as a conscript had served in the Russian Army less than a year. Now Safarhalin serve in the Russian Army for nearly two years, and therefore remained under contract at the end of active service.

Here he no longer wears Russian uniform. On one photo Marat is with a gun in sneakers and camouflage multicam, which the Ukrainian soldiers and terrorists buy. The last photo in the album of Marat is from 18th of April - in a green jacket and unmarked. The trip to the Ukrainian border, he prefers to call “mission”. Before that, in March, Marat was in the area near the Russian Millerovo not far from Luhansk, where together with the military airport a field camp with lots of military equipment is placed. Base “Matveev Kurgan” As it is known, from the Rostov region of Russia they regularly throw intelligence groups of the Russian special troops to Donetsk.

THE TERRORIST OF THE “LUHANSK PEOPLE REPUBLIC” GUBIN IN FRONT OF THE FAMILY SHOT DEAD 32-YEAR-OLD MAN FOR SUPPORT OF UKRAINE. The terrorist of the “LPR” Gubin shot down a man, who supported Ukraine and came in a Remembrance day on the occupied territory of the Luhansk region to visit the grave of his mother. In the Lugansk region there is a Slavyanoserbsky district. Not all residents of the area support the occupiers. In some cases it gives very sad consequences. Here is a bad story from the village Horoshe. Last Sunday in the village Horoshe a man was shot. He was 32. He came to visit the grave of his mother. When the war began, the man with his wife and son went away from the village to the unoccupied territory. They did not intend to return. But it was a Remembrance day. His sister was ill. At the cemetery some bandits approached the man, with whom he went to school and played football when he was a boy. Now they are the separatists. Terrorists. One of them, Gubin, began to make the claims to the man. You are for Ukraine, not for the “Luhansk People Republic”. The terrorists said to the man. He said what he thought about Gubin and other “defenders”. Between them a scuffle began. People stopped them. The man and his family returned home. We was sitting in the courtyard, talking, having dinner. Suddenly Gubin came. Gubin shot the man down. Silently. In front of the family. The terrorist shot a man because he was not a terrorist. Son of the killed is seven and he was fully aware that his father had been killed because he was a decent man, a patriot of his country. By the way, wife and kids of Gubin do not stay on the territory of “LPR”. Gubin took them to the territory, controlled by Ukraine, far away from such people as he is. At night, after what happened, an inflammatory mixture arrived in the court of the mother house of the dead man. As well as in the yard of the dead. The village was divided. The majority of people condemned the act of Gubin, but there were also those who supported him. The fact of murder was registered in the Starobelsk militsiya office on p. 1. art.115 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. But the killer on the occupied territory among the terrorists is a hero. For such feats in the “Luhansk People Republic” they give medals.
