In the same cache, Reuters also found four documents that identified Ruzinsky as commander of the Balakliia military grouping, in addition to his role as head of the 11th Army Corps.
The report, based on a cache of Russian military documents discovered in an abandoned command bunker, named Ruzinsky as being part of the chain of command overseeing the Russian force there. In a Special Report published last October, Reuters revealed how soldiers from the 11th Army Corps occupied the area around Balakliia, in the Kharkiv region in Ukraine's northeast. The Kremlin has repeatedly denied reports that its troops committed war crimes or targeted civilians. The Russian defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Reuters could not reach Ruzinsky through phone numbers listed for him. Russia withdrew from the area in September last year.
