War crimes in the Kharkiv region
In Russkaya Lozova and Nursery of the Kharkov region, residents found Russian troops at 5:00 in the morning. Therefore, they did not have the opportunity to leave the territory – the invaders immediately cut off the path to Kharkov. The locals were under siege without food, water, electricity for two months.
According to Nemichev, residents said that Russian soldiers herded people into basements and took away phones. In addition, people were forbidden to travel in their own cars.
They were kicked out to Belgorod, in Russia. They offered to go there almost every day. People were bullied. There are a lot of cases of violence, interrogations. Many civilians were simply shot in the streets. These are the same Russians who were in Bucha and other regions. They have one mentality, and they work according to their own notes,” he noted.
