Khmuryi: – Tell me, have you brought me one or two?

Khmuryi: Listen to me carefully, behind the circle near “Motel” there will be you know what. Call to “Bibliotekar” (Librarian).
Bring inside only those, who just came back, only as much as you need for the convoy. Leave everyone else here. Not far away there is Pervomaiskoe, look at the map.
DNR militant: I got it.
Khmuryi: Settle somewhere in that area, bring there those who are left. Your task is reserve, plus protection of this piece (BUK–M), which you will drive now. “Giyrza” will come there too. If anything, I'm on line.

“Botsman” – officer of Main Intelligence Directorate of Russian Federation (to be identified).
H: Yes, Botsman, I'm listening.
B: Hello, big brother. How are you?
H: Not so well. We are in Mariinovka. That's why not well. Carrying on.
B: What's wrong?
H: What do you think? (The Ukrainian army is) attacking with “Grad” (multiple-rocket launchers) all the time, finally now we're having a little break. We've just hit a plane, Su–type. Because we've got BUK–M. They (Ukrainian soldiers) are now in Zelenopillja, trying to break free, but their way out is only through me. Yesterday we hit 2 Su jets, today – another two. Thank God “BUK–M” arrived today in the morning. It became easier. But in general, of course, it's tough.
B: What can I say, if you need anything, call me – and I'll arrive immediately.
H: Thanks, brother. I'm going in two hours...Seems like it's a lull. In two hours I'm heading to Donetsk. Because I was sent three more “Gvozdika” (self–propelled artillery). Will carry 'Gvozdikas' here because it's really tough now.
B: Maybe we should cover them with (our own) Grad (multiple-rocket launchers)?
H: The thing is that we have Grad, but no spotter. And secondly, we are waiting for Russia to f... them from their side.

The Ministry also issued a statement citing the clip and quoting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov saying the video was shot at 4:50 a.m. local time today with the vehicle in question moving "through Krasnodon in the direction of the border with Russia."
It says two of the uncovered missiles can be seen in place, while there is a space between them where another missile would normally lie.
"This and other pieces of information are now being analyzed. It must have been about the same 'BUK' SAM that shot down the Amsterdam-Kuala Lumpur civilian aircraft," the minister is quoted as saying.
In the article, Avakov also pledges that a full account will be published after the investigation but adds, "I believe this fragment should be published immediately."
