Behind the Masks in Ukraine, Many Faces of Rebellion

Yuri commands the 12th Company, part of the self-proclaimed Peoples
Militia of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, a previously unknown and often
masked rebel force that since early April has seized government buildings
in eastern Ukraine and, until Saturday, held prisoner a team of European
military observers it accused of being NATO spies.
.
His is one of the faces behind the shadowy paramilitary takeover. But even
with his mask off, much about his aims, motivations and connections
remains murky, illustrating why this expanding conflict is still so
complex.
.
Yuri, who appears to be in his mid-50s, is in many ways an ordinary
eastern Ukrainian of his generation. A military veteran, he survived the
Soviet collapse to own a small construction business in Druzhkovka, about
15 miles south of here.
.
But his rebel stature has a particular root: He is also a former Soviet
special forces commander who served in Afghanistan, a background that
could make him both authentically local and a capable Kremlin proxy.
.
In this war, clouded by competing claims on both sides, one persistent
mystery has been the identity and affiliations of the militiamen, who have
pressed the confrontation between Russia and the West into its latest
bitter phase.
.
Moscow says they are Ukrainians and not part of the Russian armed forces,
as the so-called green men in Crimea turned out to be.
.
Western officials and the Ukrainian government insist that Russians have
led, organized and equipped the fighters.
.
A deeper look at the 12th Company during more than a week of visiting its
checkpoints, interviewing its fighters and observing them in action
against a Ukrainian military advance here on Friday shows that in its
case neither portrayal captures the full story.
