However, Niebytov also said that the bodies of some people in the village of Shevchenko had been identified. Adding “they were ordinary locals, unfortunately also tortured, and we see that they were shot.”
“During the occupation of our cities, the occupiers forced citizens to wear white armbands as if this person had already been checked and was therefore not treated so meticulously. Therefore, in order to save their lives, our citizens wore these bandages themselves to protect themselves from gunshots,” he said.
