"The presence of the Russian occupation forces in the temporarily occupied areas in eastern Ukraine translates into escalation in the region and civilian deaths. On August 25, two servicemen from the 5th separate motorized rifle brigade (Makiyivka) of the 1st Army Corps (Donetsk) of the Russian Armed Forces killed a civilian.
