In February 2017, Russia decided to award Russian military, who had been deployed on the so-called "Ukraine trips" back in 2014.
The medals were awarded to a group of tankmen of the 136th separate motorized rifle brigade (military unit 63354, Buinaksk, Dagestan, part of the South Russian Armed Forces), who served in this unit in 2013-2014, the activists from the international OSINT community InformNapalm said.
"Many of these servicemen have already returned to civilian professions and were unlikely to expect such a Kremlin handout. Perhaps, because of the bureaucratic side of the Putin's orders, or maybe the servicemen themselves sought recognition of their participation in the hostilities," the volunteers' investigation said.
Anyway, according to InformNapalm, by presenting these awards, the Russian command has once again shown that they share responsibility with participants of hostilities in Ukraine.

Vladimir Makovich, one of the "founders" of the "DPR" terrorist organization (the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic) died in the city of Donetsk on March 12, according to Novosti Donbassa media outlet referring to one of the former so-called leaders of the "DPR foreign ministry" Boris Borisov.
"They write that Makovich has died in Donetsk. This is the person who read out the 'declaration of state independence of the DPR' on April 7, 2014," Borisov wrote on Facebook, Novosti Donbassa reports. Makovich is also known for reading out an appeal to Rinat Akhmetov in May 2014, after the latter described four scenarios for the development of Donbas calling the "DPR" crooks who took the region hostage.
Later, Makovich headed the "supreme council of the DPR" for some time. It is worth noting that the militants on February 8 reported that the so-called commander of the "Somali" battalion of the "DPR" Mikhail Tolstykh, nom-de-guerre Givi, had been eliminated in the occupied city of Donetsk. Presumably, he was hit by a shell of the RPO-A Shmel [man-portable rocket launcher], which is used by Russia army.

Former "Defense Minister" of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic ("DPR") Igor Girkin, nom de guerre Strelkov, has revealed the current composition of the armed terrorist groups of Donbas.
There is no "local resistance" anymore... There are contracted troops. For their RUB 15,000 pay, which is very good money in the region, they will shoot at their own people, if necessary. In a number of units, there are many people who do not care about anything at all. And this is not "local resistance" – this is the so-called regular army," Strelkov said.
Earlier, Strelkov-Girkin reported on a massive desertion of militants from the 11th motorized rifle regiment, stationed at the epicenter of the battles near the town of Avdiyivka.
