It has been established that in the morning of January 2, Russian Federation servicemen, being on the territory of Dvorichna territorial community, entered a house where four civilians lived.

According to the police, the occupiers shot a 59-year-old man, he was injured in the neck and shoulder. The victim died a few days later. The body of the deceased remained on the territory of the household.

“The shelling intensified, the village was constantly attacked by Russian drones, and people were forced to hide in basements. But on January 2, the Russians attacked civilians literally at close range. The locals came out of the basement only when it was absolutely necessary, and the men went upstairs to boil water,” wrote Serhiy Bolvinov, head of the Kharkiv Police Investigation Department.

People recall that it was then that Russian soldiers opened fire, shooting at the house with machine guns and throwing grenades.

“45-year-old Yevhen said that his neighbor Volodymyr, who was nearby, was wounded. The wounded Volodymyr was not afraid to come out to the Russians and started shouting that they should not shoot at civilians, the neighbors say. The occupiers did stop firing and took the people prisoner – they drove them to the cellar and forbade them to leave. Apart from cotton wool and bandages, there were no medicines underground. Ten days later, Volodymyr died,” the law enforcement officers said.

People managed to bring the body upstairs, but did not have time to bury it. According to Bolvinov, the women remember the faces of the occupiers and will be able to identify them, and investigators are working with them.

Criminal proceedings have been opened under Part 2 of Article 438 (war crimes) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
