The report concludes through open source investigation that the 79th Brigade of Russian Armed Forces, led by Colonel Evgeny Yurievich Geraschenko, played a significant role in cluster munition attacks in the region during the initial stages of the full scale invasion of Ukraine.

The new report with @bellingcat.com is based on 32 in-depth investigations of separate incidents that took place between February and April 2022. It offers one of the most detailed looks yet at the use of cluster munitions against civilian areas in the early stages of Russia’s full scale invasion.
