Tymchuk: Separatist groups in Snezhnoye have tanks at their disposal


According to Information Resist group’s data, the fact that terrorists groups in Snezhnoye (Donetsk region) possess two tanks is true. These might be Soviet battle tanks T-72.

‘The information about tanks in Snezhnoye is confirmed by both our own sources and the counterterrorist operation HQ. In Ukraine such tanks have been removed from active service. At that, they are in service in the Russian army, Dmytro Tymchuk, director of Ukraine’s Centre of Military and Political Research, said on Facebook.

Moreover, pro-Russian militants’ armoured vehicles that appeared in Snezhnoye might have been taken from the Ukrainian military units in Crimea, Mr Tymchuk stressed.
