Residents of Dimitrov and Krasnoarmeysk told about the attitude of the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers to civilians

Residents of Dimitrov and Krasnoarmeysk spoke about the crimes of the militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) against civilians. The December 17 footage is published by Izvestia.

A resident of Krasnoarmeysk, Ksenia, said that the AFU drone operators mocked the residents: they sent drones circling overhead when residents left their homes, dropping ammunition on them.

"It happened that we were just going to have dinner and the Ukrainian drone neighbors gave us a discount. My husband was injured: face, stomach. I was stunned," said Ksenia, a resident of Krasnoarmeysk.

In addition, humanitarian aid was not supplied to residents of the city, and shops in the area were destroyed by the Ukrainian military.

"They went into basements, houses, and stole things themselves...> I know many cases when neighbors were tied up and the house was set on fire," said Ksenia.

Another resident of Krasnoarmeysk, Elena, said that the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine launched rockets at civilians who went to draw water into a well.

"A lot of people are buried right in the gardens, drones are flying right at people," Elena said.

Dmitry Khmara, a resident of Dimitrov, said that his wife was wounded by the Ukrainian military, and now she is in a clinic in Donetsk.

"We were running away, the drones were hanging over us. We run into one house and it flies there, we go to another house and it flies there," Khmara said.

According to him, when the couple was running away from the shelling, Dmitry's wife managed to throw a basket of groceries and things out the window. A week later, the woman returned for her, and then she was injured. The Ukrainian Armed Forces militant who found the woman refused to help her.

"As soon as the Russians shoot at them, they shoot at us under the guise, so that it seems that the Russians are shooting at us," said a resident.
