He was reported to perform an unofficial “service-combat” job on the militant-held territory of eastern Ukraine as deputy commander of “2nd army corps” of Russian-backed forces in Donbas. He served in Luhansk under the command of Center of territorial troops of Southern military District of Russian Armed Forces. Intel doesn’t mention his actual rank and name, just that he served in militant forces as “Colonel Alexander Borisovich Orlov”.
