Quote: "Yesterday, armed Russian military men abducted Zhanna Kyselova, a 54-year old journalist, from her home in the city of Kakhovka. She used to be in charge of a local newspaper [called] Kakhovska Zoria, which hasn’t been issued since the beginning of the full-scale Russian-Ukrainian war".

Details: The Kakhovka City Territorial Hromada [an administrative unit designating a town, village or several villages and their adjacent territories] reported the abduction of Kyselova and Iryna Razumei, another Kakhovka resident. The location of the abducted women is currently unknown.

Furthermore, Russian troops captured a volunteer in Chornobaiivka, Kherson Oblast.

The National Police reports that members of the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) came to the volunteer’s house, tortured him and his wife, searched the house and stole all of their food and alcohol.

After that, the perpetrators took the man’s car and drove him in an unknown direction.
