In the temporarily occupied town of Volnovakha in the Donetsk region, Russian invaders have shot and killed nine individuals, including two children, states the ombudsman, Dmytro Lubinets.

"Another horrifying crime committed by Russians in the temporarily occupied town of Volnovakha, Donetsk region. They killed 9 people in their own home, including a 4th-grade schoolgirl and a preschool-aged boy. Firearm wounds were found on the bodies of the victims," he wrote.

He noted that the occupiers took the lives of the entire Kapkanets family, who were celebrating a birthday. According to Lubinets, these people refused to give up their own home to Chechen occupiers.

"There is no doubt that the bloodthirsty hands of the Russians are behind this, just as signs of Russian torture were found in Bucha, Irpin, Izyum, and other Ukrainian cities where liberators were present," he added.

The situation in the Donetsk region

Russians open fire daily on cities and villages in the Donetsk region. Frontline settlements in the region, and even those in relative rear areas, are constantly under attack.
