Journalists of Important Stories found profiles of russian military personnel on social media and identified the settlements where they were born.

Journalists managed to call some of them and ask about the rocket attack on a high-rise building in Dnipro.

Timoshin comes from the city of Olenegorsk in russia's Murmansk Region.

Major Aleksei Ivanenko, 35 years old:

Potsiluev comes from the village of Vyazunka in russia's Volgograd region.

Denis Grigoriev, 40 years old:

Grigoriev comes from the city of Kostanay in Kazakhstan.

In a conversation with journalists, Aleksey Ivanenko said that he does not know what happened in Dnipro because he does not follow the news.

"I resigned from the army three years ago after I was punched in the head. I retired, and now I am engaged in sanitation work," he said.

When asked what he thinks about the SSU's opening a criminal case against him, Ivanenko replied: "Great, should I go and turn myself in now?"

Ivanenko said that he had "heard a long time ago" about other soldiers from the SSU list, except for Oleg Timoshin, whom he did not know. Ivanenko "doesn't think anything" about the russian federation's war against Ukraine because he has "nothing to think with anymore."

When asked about his involvement in the shelling in Dnipro, Dinar Nazirov replied that he was a "forester from forestry."

"Don't walk in my forest, and don't scare the squirrels," he advised journalists, after which he hung up.

Dmitry Golenkov spoke the most to the media. According to the SSU, Golenkov is the chief of staff of the aviation squadron of the aviation group.

In response to a question about involvement in the shelling in the Dnipro, he asked the correspondent a counter-question about who owns Crimea:

"Wait with the shelling of Dnipropetrovsk. I understand everything you want to ask me. But I am a person of the russian federation, and the Constitution of the russian federation is essential to me. As a journalist, I want to ask you why you are calling me and telling me about that Crimea… in a different way. No. You should say then that Crimea is russia. Why don't you say that?

I said that the four subjects and Crimea are ours. Why is Ukraine here? I do not touch Ukraine at all. Ukraine is another independent state. It is shelling our territory – the russian federation, Donetsk, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia regions, and Crimea. Why don't you ask me about it? You, girl, are probably from Ukraine. In russia, journalists do not ask such questions. Journalists don't ask questions at all," he emphasized.

After persistent attempts by the journalist to get an answer about the shelling of Dnipro, Golenkov became indignant: "What? Did I f*cking press the button or sit in this plane? Crimea is still ours, and everything else is ours. Why do you want from us?"

When asked if he felt sorry for the people who died in Dnipro, the man answered: "What people? What are you talking about? I don't understand."

Then Golenkov said that Ukraine is "a region of russia. One single region of russia. You won't even be different regions."

And at the end of the conversation, he added: "And everything else will be ours. Goodbye, girl."
