Russians in Donetsk Region kill parents and kidnapped their child - intercepted conversations confirm

Near the village of Shandryholove in the Donetsk Region, russian stormtroopers shot parents and took their daughter.

This was reported by the Third Army Corps, which is responsible for this sector of the front.

From radio intercepts it became known that before the storming of the village, a russian commander with the call sign "Bali" ordered to destroy the civilian population indiscriminately.

"Get ready immediately, you will have to kill people, kill everyone indiscriminately. Everyone indiscriminately! Not counting the children. Everyone who is there has nothing to do with us," the recordings say.

"Bali's" subordinates entered the apartment building and shot the peaceful residents. The girl, the daughter of the killed, was taken hostage by the russians. Radio intercepts show that they are keeping her separate and trying not to harm her, using her as cover for their units during the offensive in the Lyman Axis.

"The child [must be] constantly under surveillance, we keep her separate somewhere, and don't turn our backs on her either […] Let's take the girl, take the girl! […] The girl, so that she doesn't see the bodies, keep her somewhere separate, don't touch her, don't insult her, feed her, give her water, and everything else," the russians' radio interception says.

Footage taken from a drone shows the russians entering a residential building and taking the child. One of the girl's relatives, with a stick in his hand, tries to catch up with the occupier and fight off the child, but he is killed.

Recall that about 237,000 people who continue to live in the dangerous zones near the front need evacuation from the dangerous zones, including almost 17,200 children.

As a reminder, russian troops captured several settlements in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia Regions.
