“ Occupiers shot civilians in Zvanivka, Bakhmut district, Donetsk region. Source: Prosecutor’s Office of Donetsk region Details: On October 20, the couple and their adult son hid in the basement of a private house, while their younger son went to the neighbors to fetch water. Soon, Russian servicemen broke into the warehouse where the family was staying and began questioning them about the location of the Ukrainian military in the settlement. Not receiving any information from them, they later left. However, one of the occupiers returned and opened fire with an automatic weapon on the civilians, after which, deciding that they were dead, he left. When the 57-year-old victim regained consciousness, she saw her relatives killed. Worried about her younger son, the mother went to the nearby basement, where she found his body next to the shot neighbors – a 62-year-old woman and her 30-year-old son. The victim with a gunshot wound to the jaw was able to reach the territory controlled by Ukraine, from where she was taken to the hospital. Prosecutors interrogated her and recorded testimony of yet another war crime against the civilian population.
