Captured Ukrainian told of orders to shoot Kursk region residents
Ukrainian prisoner of war Volodymyr Samorochenko, captured in the Kursk region, has admitted that his command gave orders to shoot civilians in the Russian region.
‘They were instructed to take prisoners, interrogate them and then liquidate them. It turns out that civilians were not to be treated with ceremony. They were mostly shot,’ the Ukrainian said in a Russian Defence Ministry video that has come into RT’s possession.
Samorochenko stayed at the positions for about six days, after which he was wounded and surrendered as a prisoner of war.
A resident of the Kursk Region earlier said that Ukrainian militants threw grenades into the basements of houses in the village of Plekhovo, where civilians were hiding.
