No one ever checked any phones. They just entered homes and kill every man from 18 to 60. Next day my friend, Vova, was killed just trying to drive the village through. His car was dectoyed by BMP-2 without any previous warnings. The same situation in the nearby village Makariv was captured on video here <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvk3Hqf3ZJg">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qvk3Hqf3ZJg</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m on this war since 2014 and I already accustomed to the pictures of destroyed buildings.

Civilians that had military sensitive information on it were taken aside, as spies. Reporting by journalists suggests that those spies were the ones who were tortured and executed by Russian soldiers.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Monaco; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Again.
