Resident of a village in Kiev: I have no more tears
Mykola Kravchenya, a resident of a village northwest of Kiev, says Russian troops killed his son when they occupied the region north of the Ukrainian capital.
“They came, they were told to leave the house”. “He and his wife came out of the house with guns to their heads. They let his wife go, she said I have two children, do not kill me. “And then they shot him (his son).”
Kravchenya’s son was one of 40 people in Andriivka killed; six of them were recently buried in the village cemetery after being exhumed from where they were buried in the people’s gardens.
“The most important thing is that (my son) did not betray Ukraine. “This is the most important thing.”
And as Euronews points out, fragments of bombs still remain in the village, where no house seems to have been spared.
Some areas have large drawn question marks, indicating that there may be unexploded ordnance such as mines or bombs.
About 1,000 people lived in the village 60 kilometers northwest of Kiev before the war but many fled before it was under full occupation by Russian troops.
