In previous joint investigations with Der Spiegel and The Insider, Bellingcat identified the killer of a Georgian-Chechen asylum seeker in Berlin, Zelimkhan Khangoshvili, as Vadim Krasikov, a 54 year old Russian linked to at least two contract hits in Russia. Using metadata from Krasikov's telephone communications prior to the murder, journalists determined that the Berlin hit job was planned and supervised by senior members of FSB's secretive Spetsnaz division Vympel, tasked with overseas subversion and special operations, Bellingcat reports.

On April 14, 2020, Ukraine's security service (SBU) announced the arrest of Lt. General Valeriy Shaytanov, deputy chief of their own anti-terrorist division. In a public statement, the SBU alleged the general had been recruited before the start of the 2014 war by an FSB operative, Colonel Igor Egorov, a highly decorated KGB, and later FSB, officer who had received a medal for his role in annexing Crimea in 2014. The SBU's announcement also included audio recordings of conversations between Shaytanov and Egorov, and a third unnamed person whom they appeared to be grooming for a contract killing of a Chechen national living in Kyiv. The SBU also published footage from apparent video surveillance of the latest meet-up between Col. Egorov and the would-be contract killer, which the SBU says took place in Hamburg, Germany, in February of this year. Bellingcat and The Insider had previously identified – but had not yet publicly disclosed – Col. Igor Anatolyevich Egorov as a senior officer from FSB's elite Spetznaz force known as Department V, the successor to the KGB's elite subversion and special operations unit Vympel. In previous investigations into the role of GRU undercover officers in supervising and aiding Russian and Russia-controlled forces in Eastern Ukraine, journalists had stumbled upon this person, who in 2014 and 2015 had traveled extensively – under two different identities – as Igor Egorov (his real name), and as Igor Semyonov (his cover name), between Moscow and the three control centers for Russia's military operations in Donbas: Rostov, Simferopol, and Krasnodar.

Despite the fact that Col. Igor Egorov played a crucial role in the annexation of Crimea and in Russia's incursion into Eastern Ukraine – both of which are unlawful under international law – he remained unbothered by Western law enforcement or intelligence services, having crisscrossed the European Union, and traveled to the Middle East and Asia on almost a monthly basis.

Gen. Burlaka is the senior-most Russian official who remained unidentified in the criminal investigation. According to data disclosed by the JIT, he played a crucial role in supervising military operations in Eastern Ukraine and controlling the flow of arms across the border.

Bellingcat has identified a high-ranking figure whose identity was searched for by the Joint Investigation Team in connection with the downing of MH17 as Colonel General Andrey Burlaka, Operations Director of FSB’s Border Service
