Well you are the one that posted this information...
Where is the video anyway?
Followed the link in the KievPost story, had no video embedded in RFE/RFL.
You do know that those are literally shill organizations?
Here is a video of him:

I guess it is quite easy to check up the details he is giving:
- Passport series 2203 and number 080912, issued on December 9 2002, by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Bor city in Nizhny Novgorod Oblast.
- For 12 years I have been serving in Taiga where there were only 4 houses, a school and a kindergarten…
- You get official position in 12th Command in Novocherkassk city (military unit created in 2014 as part of Southern Military District the Commander of 12th Command is Col. Bakhtiyar Nabiyev since July 25, 2014, see http://mil.ru).
EDIT: Here is the latest vid of him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCVDCILef6E
1) Why is a major doing a task that obviously belongs to a lower ranking soldier?
2) Russian soldiers would not be driving trucks full of ammo by themselves. They are always escorted by other support vehicles that are armed. They also always have two people in the cabin. I seen it plenty of times around Kubinka in Russia. If you want evidence, check out how the multitude of videos about Russian convoys rolling through Krim. I live in a town with a huge military presence. I can tell you that even in the US which is far removed from any conflict, that the US military never transports anything with just one truck and one soldier in it. There is always two people in the cabin of the truck and at a minimum a Humvee filled with troops is with them. Both militaries have a "leave no man behind" mentality in case you are wondering.
3) Inb4 he said so himself hurr durr. The interrogation techniques used by different intelligence agencies around the world are very potent and are known to make people say what the interrogators may want you to say. The guy looks pretty beaten up for someone who just "ran into" Ukrop border guards.
4) Without an official statement by Russia's MoD, we can't prove anything yet. Last time when the two GRU operators were "caught" by SBU. Russia's MoD provided a statement. Right now we have not heard anything. We can't rule out a kidnapping (even on Russian soil) or a forgery, we all know the SBU is very well versed in doing both and has done or is doing it right now. If the DPRK is capable of printing extremely realistic 100 USD bills, I don't see why Ukraine couldn't have better technology. The Ukrainian forgeries have come a long way since that handwritten Russian Military ID card and the fake Rebel MH17 audio recording. The SBU is quite good at snatching people off the street, remember what happened to the guy who tried to spearhead a Maidan 3?
By the way, I do hope he is a real Russian soldier and I do hope Putin responds. This war has gone on too long and it is about time the Hohols get a taste of their own medicine.
