According to Vilkul: "There is news that makes my blood run cold in my veins.

While rebuilding a peaceful life in the villages liberated in the Kherson region, a task we are currently working on, we are confronted with more and more horror stories.

Such as the rape of a 16-year-old pregnant girl and a 78-year-old grandmother in one of the villages towards Ingulets.

And today (7 April - ed.), at approximately 10 am, 'orcs' (Russians - ed.) on the bank of the Kakhovka reservoir near the "Svitanok" recreation centre in Marianske, Kryvyi Rih district, opened fire on a boat that was sailing from Pervomaivsk in the Kherson region to evacuate people from the occupied part of the Kherson region.

It was shot at with "Grads" while on the water. At a distance of 70 metres from the shore.

There were 14 people in the boat. Three children and 11 adults. Two adult men and one woman died instantly. A 13-year-old child died a little later. Seven people are in hospital and two are missing. It was the seventh voyage that boat had made. Bastards."

Details: Vilkul believes the occupiers knew there were civilians on board but still fired missiles at them: "This is a war crime, this should be taken to court in The Hague".

Also, he said, the armed forces were successfully battling the Russians on the far approaches to Kryvyy Rih, but debris from a Russian missile had fallen within the borders of Kryvyy Rih, resulting in one person sustaining a minor leg injury.
