This is stated by Ukrainian investigative blogger Anton Pavlushko on his Facebook page.
"Yesterday there were reports about four detained separatists including a Russian sniper. Today a video of the interrogation was posted online. Two seem to be typical pro-separatist men, one — a local former interior troops serviceman. But the Russian turned out to be an interesting persona. He served as a peacekeeper in the 7th military base in Abkhazia in a reconnaissance battalion, sniper company. Here he served first as a clerk (so smart that he was specially sent from Anapa?) and then in the infantry.
"He started talking about SVD rifle himself: "Well, I did not have an SVD, just a regular automatic gun…"
He learned about the war from 'his guys in the Marine Corps' (former or not is not clear), who went to the Donbas before him.
