Let us note, according to the information of the investigation, the shelling, as a result of which 12 people were killed and 19 others were injured, was carried out by the militants of the so-called “Hell’s Angels” rocket battalion.
It is believed that it was Shpakov who led the artillerymen who fired.
In addition to Shpakov, Colonel of the Russian Armed Forces Anatoly Sinelnikov appears in the case. In 2015, the Russian military served as commander of the “5th Army Brigade” and commanded the actions of Shpakov.
According to the data the “Peacemaker” site, Shpakov is a native of the city of Ostrogozhsk in the Voronezh region of Russia. In the second half of the 1990s, he served in the National Guard of Ukraine (military unit 4117 in the village of Klugino-Bashkirovka, Kharkov region).
From 2014 to at least 2016, he was in the command of the so-called “5th separate motorized rifle brigade of the DPR”. One of the last mentions in the separatist media is that a person with that name is the commandant of the “Donetsk Higher Combined Arms Command School”, which today trains military personnel for the occupiers.
