I'm talking about people who work for the Russian military on duty or not. These are trained soldiers who are on Russian military payroll entering Ukraine. As for the images, I was sure you were aware but I had to provide a link after your condescending attitude. I was curious if like RT you would say the images were made from videogames. |
Oh jesus, your world picture is too complicated for me :D If they're not on duty, they are not working on Russian military. What you're talking about is called a proxy war in simplier terms, have a good dozen of precedents like Syrian civil war or any civil war for that matter to a certain extent. Actual figurants are rebels from the South-East and Kiev, actual actors are White House and Kremlin plus some secondary actors like EU. Is this really so hard to comprehend?
I don't have any info about people on the Russian military payroll over here, where does Zakharchenko get his supply along with whatever he pays to the militants I don't now, but have a clue or two. Even high-minded needs to be paid, but last time I've checked (from actual volunteers) it was purely symbolical fee that's enough to buy you a meal three time a day, iirc Strelkov has mentioned that he was about to create a contract army and pay everyone 8000UAH a month (that's 500-600 USD, even with UAH being devalued nearly twice in last six month, that's a lot by local standards).
What videogames? I'm sure these images aren't from videogames, or you are referring to an image of alleged Buk launch that has been circulated for a while over the internet that was indeed from a videogame? But that's ancient story, who cares anymore? BTW how that investigation of MH17 crash is going on? :D
