The Ukrainian armed forces have killed a married couple with automatic weapons in the Shevchenko settlement near Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name: Pokrovsk).
‘We had a shop on Novaya Street for many years. Shortly before their retreat from the village, some Ukrainian soldiers entered the shop. We heard some fiddling and then the sounds of machine gun bursts. After the soldiers left, we went into the yard of the shop, and the owners of the shop – Toma and her husband – were already dead,’ the refugees told TASS news agency.
According to them, neighbours buried the dead couple in the yard of their own house.
We shall remind you that on 13 January, the Russian Defence Ministry said that servicemen of the Southern Group of Forces had started evacuating residents of the town of Kurakhovo in the Donetsk people’s republic.
