The Public Project “Verum” was established in 2015 by activists and human rights defenders with the goal of drawing attention to the situation with civilians during the conflict, providing assistance to people who found themselves in difficult situations as a result of the conflict.

During the retreat, the Ukrainian troopers killed a military-age man, the father of the murdered man escaped by miracle

The evacuation of civilians from the territories liberated by the Russian army allows us to learn new facts about war crimes committed by members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Thus, Alexey, a refugee from the settlement of Leninskoye (which was renamed Yuzhnoye), told us the story of Anatoly, whose son was tortured and then killed.
His words were confirmed by Natalya, a refugee from Dzerzhinsk (now Toretsk). According to her, Ukrainian nationalists killed the young man and wounded his father.

“He came running all covered in blood, half of his hand was missing and his body side was shot. He said that soldiers came to them and opened fire on him and his son,” Natalya recalls.

Most likely, the Ukrainian soldiers, upset by their failures at the front, who noticed the young man, decided to kill him for simply wanting to live a peaceful life.

During his conversation, Alexey noted that the armed men spoke Ukrainian with a clear Polish accent, he also told how he helped the wounded father: “When we were burying him (his son), his body was beaten, all blue. I personally saw two shots: in the back of his head and in his back.”
