You might not recognize this, but the situation being uncertain and unstable, some of these images start to become unsettling.

Just one opinion, but want you to know.

Man on the left wearing "Army Gloves".

I'm surprised: but then being Navy, never got to see any; they just weren't issued (singles or pairs).

USSR. This is a US military saying. US Army personnel are not authorized to have their hands in their pockets in uniform. But, our former air service, now the US Air Force, is allowed to. So, there is a saying in the US Army that they are using their "Air Force Gloves" by having their hands in their pockets. It's a joke/humor from our side.

Now, seriously, how have they been identified as Spetsnaz (assuming that's the English version of specnaz)? or Marines? have insignia and patches been seen? or is it through local questioning?

There are a lot of indirect evidence, including arms.

There is quite a dichotomy in the one photo with 4 girls holding balloons with a soldier in the background. It seems almost surreal, like something in a dream.
