The Russian occupiers launched a powerful shelling of Kherson

 Russian-fascist troops continue shelling Kherson. They were especially powerful tonight. High-rise buildings and infrastructure objects were hit with artillery.

According to the head of the regional military administration, Yaroslav Yanushevich, as a result of these powerful strikes, the lights in the city went out. And this despite the fact that only a few days ago it began to appear in the homes of Kherson residents.

Yesterday, a man was killed during the shelling, and there were also wounded.

On the morning of December 1, explosions are heard again in Kherson.

Loud sounds from the scene are reported by local residents.

Accused of surrendering positions and put “in the basement”: in Kherson Oblast, the occupiers held a teenager captive

 In the liberated territory of the Kherson region, the details of the inhuman acts of the Russian occupiers continue to be revealed. Thus it became known that 14-year-old Vitaly Mukharsky from Kiselyvka was held in Russian captivity for ten days. The reason was entirely contrived — the alleged surrender of enemy positions of the Armed Forces. And all this only because of the photos of already broken Russian equipment on the outskirts of the village.

Vitaly, even though he returned home in September, still remembers being “in the basement” of the occupiers as a very scary time.

According to him, on September 10, he and his 27-year-old uncle decided to go to the outskirts of Kiselyvka to look at the broken military equipment of the Russians. At that moment, none of the occupiers were there, so the boys decided that it was safe. However, during their stay, invaders passed by the destroyed enemy positions. One of them saw that Oleksiy, Vitaliy’s uncle, was photographing pieces of equipment.

“They came up and said: ‘You are taking pictures of our equipment, so you are giving up your positions,'” recalls the teenager. “They tied our hands, quite tightly, and forcibly threw us into the car.”

As it turned out, they were brought to Kherson. On the spot, the boys were separated, the teenager was put in the basement. There he shared with at least ten other people in what looked like a shower room. As it turned out, they were actually in the building of the Kherson Court of Appeal, almost in the center of the city.

The entire room in which Vitaly spent ten long days did not occupy an area of ​​more than five by ten meters. He was the youngest of all those who ended up “in the basement”. The oldest of those he managed to meet turned 65. He managed to fight in the ATO, for which he ended up in the hands of the occupiers. The teenager recalls that the people in the cell often changed: someone could sit for months, and someone for weeks.

Some of the prisoners were periodically interrogated. It happened on the third floor of the building. Information was “knocked out” from people – in the literal sense of the word. According to Vitaly, Kherson citizens often returned from “interrogations” with traces of beatings and blood.

The boy himself was not beaten, but he was starved for the first four days. In general, it was common practice here – only a few prisoners received food, and then in small quantities. They usually shared these crumbs with Vitaly, although they were not enough.

“On the fifth day, they gave me two spoons of buckwheat and two spoons of pasta. They fed me once a day,” he shares his memories.

During his entire stay in the torture chambers of a Russian prison, he was taken outside only once: while being interrogated. Two men in balaclavas were interested in whose phone it was, on which the equipment was being filmed, who was filming, why and whether they had given the photo to the Ukrainian defenders.

All the time Vitaly was in captivity, he was not told anything about the fate of his uncle, and was often threatened with being taken to Russia, where he would be judged. As it turned out, Vitaly’s parents were seriously concerned for the boy and his uncle when they found out that they had been kidnapped. They went to Kherson and Bilozerka, wrote various requests and even asked the occupiers to treat their parents’ feelings humanely.

As the teenager’s father, Oleg, recalls, he had to communicate with “Cook”, one of the most active occupiers in Kiselivka. He brought him to an unknown man from Kadirov, who interrogated him in the middle of the street, asking various questions, including about the presence of armed forces in the village. Apparently, Oleg’s story appeared to the occupiers to be true, because within two days, Vitaliy, his uncle and another cellmate of the teenager were released.

Dmytro Lubynets, the Commissioner of the Verkhovna Rada for Human Rights, reacted to the incident. He noted that the fact that the child is in Russian captivity is confusing and infuriating.

“The child heard the sounds and saw the consequences of the torture. The boy was in a cold and dark room for a long period of time and received almost no food for simply photographing the burned equipment of the Russian military,” writes the politician. “Russia violates international humanitarian law and the Geneva Convention with such actions.” against the civilian population of Ukraine, committing a war crime”.

 It was expected that the promises of the occupation authorities to “raise” the level of medicine in the occupied territories remained only promises. The significant deterioration of the state of medicine in the Skadov Oblast can be judged for many reasons. They were told in the Skadovsk city council.

In the city, the purchase of medicines “from hand to hand” continues. What does this say? Private pharmacies, the premises of which were seized at the beginning of the occupation, cannot meet the needs of local residents for various drugs. This applies to almost all groups of drugs: from children’s drugs to drugs for seriously ill patients. Therefore, the shortage in pharmacies is filled by sellers who bring drugs from the temporarily occupied Crimea. There is no need to say much about the quality of these medicines. Those who are unlucky enough to be treated with Russian-made drugs know about pressure medications that do not reduce pressure, pain medications that do not suppress pain, and bottles of saline that leak during a drip.

Drug prices are a separate topic for conversation. With the impoverishment of the population created by the occupation authorities, it is not only difficult to buy the necessary medicines due to shortages, but also sometimes impossible due to lack of funds. And the prices of medicines are several times higher than the prices before the start of the war, and from today’s prices for medicines in the controlled territory of Ukraine.

The issue of treatment of seriously ill patients remains particularly difficult. Cut off from the right bank of the Dnieper and civilized medicine, seriously ill residents of Skadov Oblast should seek help from the medical facilities of the temporarily occupied Crimea. 

We have information that without a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, it is impossible to get prescription drugs and get examined by narrow specialists. And the attitude towards the residents of Kherson Oblast is unfriendly. So, either get a Russian passport or die.

There is a shortage of doctors and medical personnel in the hospitals of Skadovsk. Many doctors left for the controlled territory. The problem of a shortage of doctors can be traced even to the occupation districts. Vacancies for doctors are published, but are specialists found? It is clear that there are no people willing to work in the occupied territories in anticipation of hostilities.

Yesterday, the Russian military committed another war crime by shelling the Kherson regional hospital. Destruction and annihilation are the essence of the “Russian world”, which was awaited only by a handful of collaborators and traitors, who will very soon receive a just punishment for their crimes.

Russian occupiers continue to terrorize civilians in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region.

Oleshok Yevhen Ryschuk, the chairman, announced this.

According to him, the Russians shot the whole family. It happened in the city of Hola Prystan.

On the night of December 1, the Russian occupiers shelled Kherson again. A flight over a residential building was recorded, a fire started at the scene. December 1, 2022, 03:39.

It is noted that the mother and father died at the scene of the incident. Their adult son was taken to the hospital.

A 30-year-old man is in serious condition.

Law enforcement officers exhumed the bodies of residents of the village of Pravdyne, Kherson Region, who were shot by the Russian military in April.

Also, on November 30, the occupiers shelled the center of Kherson, and a woman died in her apartment. A man who was on the street was also wounded.

Investigators continue to document the facts of serious war crimes committed by the Russian invaders during the invasion of Ukraine.

In the Kherson Region, near the border with the Mykolaiv Region, in the liberated village of Pravdyne, a mass grave of people killed by the Russian military during the occupation was discovered.

The bodies were found with their hands tied and blindfolded. All were shot in the back of the head at close range.

The house was blown up after the murder, and the bodies were later buried by local residents in a grave near the house.

According to the investigation, 8 people were killed in the building when an informant told the occupiers that these people were passing on information to the Ukrainian military.

In the Kherson region, terrorist forces fired more than 50 bullets at a civilian car with two people in the passenger compartment, and then drove it over with a tank.
