electricity, – the Ministry of Energy
Adviser to the Minister of Interior Anton Gerashchenko published a recording of
talks between the Russian occupiers, where they discuss the shooting of civilian
Ukrainians. Russian soldiers first divided them, searched them, and then decided
to shoot them. His wife asks why Ukrainians were simply not captured.
The Russian occupant replied that Russians have no possibility for prisoners to be
held, no food to feed them, and they were shot, because the Ukrainians could tell
where the Russian soldiers were and disclose their position, or how many mortars
and cars they have.
