This document provides evidence of Russian armaments and equipment being transferred to occupied territories in Ukraine, in violation of international law. It details 13 specific sightings between March and May 2016 of various Russian military systems near locations in Donetsk and Luhansk regions. These included tanks, air defense systems, signals intelligence systems, electronic warfare systems, and a military command vehicle that have never been part of Ukraine's armed forces inventory but are part of Russian forces. Photos and details of each system are presented as proof of their Russian origin and presence in eastern Ukraine.

1. Slide 1
Dear ladies and gentlemen.
I’d like to offer to your attention a briefing on “Verified cases of Russian
armaments and ammunition being transferred to the occupied territories of
Ukraine”
Slide 2
Despite the multiple appeals of both Ukraine and other countries, including
the UN Security Council, OSCE and other international organizations to stop illicit
transfer of the Russian armaments and military equipment to the Ukrainian
territory, Russia goes on with it, thus bluntly violating the international law.
The respective bodies of Ukraine regularly observe the cases of the large
amount of armaments and materiel, ammunition, POLs being transported from
Russia to the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions
through the uncontrolled part of the Ukrainian state border.
Since the start of 2016 we have detected modern Russian armaments’
presence near DONETSK, MAKIYIVKA, ILOVAYSK, TOREZ, ZAITSEVE,
LUHANSKE, NOVOSELIVKA, SHYROKYNE (DONETSK region) and
LUHANSK, POPASNA, KRASNYI LUTCH, ZOLOTE (LUHANSK region).
I would like to emphasize that this materiel in many cases is very
sophisticated systems, manufactured in Russia to be used for the air defence,
SIGINT, EW and communications. The use of such equipment requires the
operators to be specially trained in respective Russian educational military schools.
Now let’s look more closely into the cases of particular Russian armament
and materiel being identified in occupied areas of Donbas. I’d like to stress, that
I’m going to talk about the armaments and materiel which were produced in Russia
and are in service of its Armed forces or its allies and never been in the inventory
of the Ukrainian military.
Slide 3
First, a Russian T-72BM main battle tank of 1989 year model was
detected on March 26, 2016 during an exercise of the 100th
Separate motorized
rifle brigade of the 1st
AC, of the Russian occupation force in the TOREZ training
area, in Donetsk region. This type of the Russian main battle tank was seen earlier
in February 2016 during an exercise of the 4th
Separate tank battalion of the same
AC at the training area near the town of MOSPYNE, in Donetsk region.

Slide 16
Since late 2014 up to date Ukrainian soldiers have regularly identified and
captured in the conflict area a large amount of the Russian small arms and
ammunition which have never been in production in Ukraine or in use by our
power structures.

6. 6
Slide 17
In particular: in January 2016, after the clash with the “DNR” militants
who infiltrated deep into the territory of Donbas controlled by the Ukrainian
military, the troopers of Ukrainian Armed forces picked up couple of used tubes of
MPO-A "Borodach" man-portable thermobaric rocket launcher.
The distinctive markings on the tubes (year of manufacture and rocket
launcher indexes) revealed the Russian identity of that weaponry. It is in service of
the Russian Armed forces only and was put into service in Russian Armed Forces
in 2004. This particular piece was produced in 2008.
Slide 18
One used tube of another type of the Russian man-portable
thermobaric rocket launchers, which is RPO-A Shmel, was picked-up in late
February, 2016 by the Ukrainian troopers during the patrolling mission near
SHYROKYNE (DONETSK regions). According to the markings it was produced
in 2011.
Slide 19-20
Another used tube of the same RPO-A “Shmel” man-portable
thermobaric rocket launcher was picked up in February 2016 by the Ukrainian
Armed Forces troops after the exchange of fire with the militants near ZAITSEVE
(DONETSK region).
This weapon was put into service in 1988. It is exclusively used by the
nuclear bacterial chemical (NBC) units of the Russian Army.
Slide 21
On March 25th
, 2016 an improvised explosive device reworked out of
Russian RPO-A “Shmel” thermobaric rocket launcher was found near
ZOLOTE (Luhansk region). The rocket launcher was manufactured in Russia,
which is confirmed by the distinctive markings.
Slide 22
On March 29, 2016 an OG-7V fragmentation shell for RPG-7V antitank
rocket launcher was found between ZAITSEVO and MYKYTIVKA (Donetsk
region). According to the markings it was manufactured in 2007 at the factory
No. 56, “Planta” federal state unitary enterprise in Nizhniy Tagil, Russia).
Slide 23
Another projectile - a TBG-7V thermobaric rocket for RPG-7V rocket
launcher was found at the same day at the same position.
Slide 24
According to the markings it was manufactured in 2008 by the at the factory
No. 56, “Planta” federal state unitary enterprise in Nizhniy Tagil, Russia.

7. 7
Slides 25
At the following slides you can see additional samples of the Russian munition,
captured by the Ukrainian troops in the occupied territories of Donbas. The
examination of the markings reveals that they were manufactured in Russia.
For instance, an outdated Russian RPG-26 anti tank rocket.
Slide 26-27
In particular the RShG-2 assault grenade and PG-7VR projectile were
produced at the Russian “Planta” Federal State Unitary Enterprise in Nizhniy Tagil
city.
Slide 28
On March 21, 2016 near the 177,2 elevation which is 7 km to the S-E from
Popasna, Luhansk region, Ukrainian Armed forces servicemen bumped the МОN-
50 directional anti-personnel mine with MD-5M detonator manufactured in 2003
in Russia. Although it is widely used all over the world, the markings on it make it
unique. According to the markings it was manufactured in 2003 at the factory
No. 15, which is the “Promsintez” Joint Stock Company, Chapayevsk city, Samara
region of Russia).
At present the mine is neither in the inventory of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine, nor manufactured in Ukraine.
Slide 29
In conclusion I would like to emphasize, that being a party to the negotiation
process and a warrantor of the Minsk agreements abidance, Russia at the same time
does not stop the illegal transferring of the armament and materiel to support the
illegal armed formations, bluntly violating the international law.
Despite the multiple requests, Russia has not provided any reasonable
explanation on how the sophisticated Russia-manufactured armament and materiel
appear in the conflict area. Such equipment neither has ever been in service of the
Ukrainian Armed forces nor has the Ukrainian government ever provided any
permission for its entry.
Thank you for your attention.
