Opposition activists in Moscow say they have

discovered fresh graves of several Russian Special Forces officers. The

accusation comes as Russia’s Defense Ministry continues to deny that Russian

soldiers are fighting in Ukraine — despite the recent capture in Luhansk of a

pair who identified themselves as Russian officers.

Activists Ruslan Leviev and Vadim Korovin say

they decided to launch their own investigation into the deaths of Russian

servicemen in Ukraine. To back their accusations, they released photographs and

video from a graveyard in Tambov Oblast, where a soldier identified as Anton

Savelyev was recently buried.
