The Donetsk Prosecutor’s Office is investigating the murder of nine citizens from the same family, including two children, in the city of Volnovaya, in the Russian-occupied part of this southern province of Ukraine.
“A family was shot dead while they were sleeping,” said a statement from the Ukrainian Public Prosecution Service.
Information gathered by Ukrainian prosecutors, who have no access to this Russian-occupied territory, shows that “people of white appearance, dressed in military uniforms” showed up at the family home this month and were asked to leave so that an army unit could speak Russian . could be housed there.
The 53-year-old father refused and was threatened by soldiers, who returned on October 27 and opened fire on all the family members as they slept.
“The dead include three women and two children born in 2014 and 2018,” the note said.
Two Russian soldiers “from the Far East” have been arrested by Russian authorities as responsible for the massacre, the Russian Investigative Committee (CIR) announced.
