In Syria, Russian Vasily Yurlin died, reports Conflict Intelligence Team, investigating armed conflicts. The post of "relative or acquaintance" on the social network VKontakte says that Jurlin was killed on February 20.
The circumstances of the death of Yurlin are unknown. His funeral will be held on Wednesday in Togliatti. In the photographs on the social network, Jurlin is depicted in the form of a Russian paratrooper. However, the CIT group has not discovered any evidence of his service and the Armed Forces of Russia in recent years.
“All this suggests that Vasily Yurlin, like the killed on February 12, Ivan Poyshkin, was probably a fighter of the so -called Wagner PMC,” said CIT. “If our assumptions are true and Vasily Yurlin was really Wagnerist, then it is not worth expecting his death from the Russian Ministry of Defense.”
On Monday, it became known that on February 12 in Syria, the 23-year-old militant of the PMC Wagner Vyshkin, a resident of the Chelyabinsk region, was killed in Syria. He instructed the soldier of the dictator Bashar al -Assad, serving in the special forces "Hunters for IG". This formation is fully funded and trained in Russian special services.
On Monday, CIT reported that on March 2, Syria in the battle for Palmyra, having ambushed, was killed by Russian intelligence officer Artem Gorbunov. Experts found that Gorbunov served in the 96th separate reconnaissance brigade GRU, which is based in military unit No. 52634 in Nizhny Novgorod.
Later, the Ministry of Defense confirmed the death of Gorbunov. "Private contract service, Artem Gorbunov in the Syrian Arab Republic, performed the tasks of protecting a group of Russian military advisers. Gorbunov died on March 2 this year in the Palmyra region when reflecting an attempt to break through a group of ISIS militants to the position of Syrian troops, where Russian military advisers were located," the military department said . It was noted that the command of Private Gorbunov was presented to the state award posthumously.
