“There was a case when a camera of a Russian state-owned channel was shooting a video on a military base and a white Volvo truck has been spotted on the background […], later it turned out the same truck was used to transport the Buk missile system that downed [Malaysia Boeing flight] MH17,” said Korniev.


KYIV, Aug 28, 2015 (UBO) - Members of a grassroots InformNapalm project created a single multilingual database in the form of a Google table that provides information on 115 cases of Russian military presence in the East of Ukraine. The database contains links to articles with detailed analysis of the Russian presence supported by photo and video evidence. The table contains data on the Russian troops’ location and the incident according to the circumstances of detection and subdivisions that have participated participating in the incident, said Hennadiy Korniev, a member of InformNapalm editorial team, at a press briefing at Ukraine Crisis Media Center.

 

Photos of Russian troops in the social media serve as the source of information of their location thanks to geotagging instruments.  Whenever such tag is unavailable, the location can be spotted by careful study of landscape or any other peculiar features. InformNapalm experts actively use information unveiled by Russian propaganda. “There was a case when a camera of a Russian state-owned channel was shooting a video on a military base and a white Volvo truck has been spotted on the background […], later it turned out the same truck was used to transport the Buk missile system that downed [Malaysia Boeing flight] MH17,” said Korniev.
