Quote: "There are dead women and dead children in the area that was occupied (30% of the city). When we liberated the area, our residents told me that the occupiers began to divide families, to take away men and leave children and women. Men were taken away to be used for prisoner exchange, those that Russians did not like the look of were shot, those who did not want to surrender were shot. These are facts, these are people’s testimonies. A child died, many men died.

Even more brutal, simply inhumane deeds manifested when they shot our people and then drove tanks over these bodies, and only when we drove out this abomination were we able to collect the remains of people. We shoveled bodies off the asphalt. "

Details: The mayor noted that there were also cases of women being raped.

In addition to killing and harassing women, the Russian invaders ruthlessly looted Irpin homes.

According to Markushin, they took everything from washing machines to underwear.
