KREMENNAYA (LPR), October 9 – Novosti. Ukrainian troops, when entering the settlements where the allied troops were previously stationed, apply various penalties – up to the execution of civilians who received humanitarian aid or assisted the armies of the LPR, DPR and the Russian Federation, a resident of the village of Torskoye, who was evacuated from the city of Krasny Lyman, told Novosti during the offensive of the Ukrainian army.
Krasny Liman is a major railway junction that is part of the Kramatorsk agglomeration. The city was completely liberated in May. Later, at the end of September, the threat of complete encirclement by Ukrainian troops loomed over the garrison of Krasny Liman. The units of the allied forces defending the city retreated along the last road remaining at that time, leading through the village of Torskoye.
When Russian troops liberated the village of Torskoye in April, local resident Viktor Yu volunteered to help them by guiding advancing units along safe routes so that they would not be ambushed by Kyiv troops.
“I stayed to guard the equipment (of a private enterprise – ed.) so that people would get it, so that there would be something to clean the garden on. Our (Russian – ed.) troops came in. I met the tanks, showed them the way, warned them about the mined bridge <…> The Lugansk people (troops of the NM of the LPR – ed.), when they entered (in September – ed.), when the battles were for Izyum , the defense was being prepared – they led their tanks through the fields, “Viktor said.
According to the interlocutor of the agency, all the time from April to October, he continued to provide assistance to the allied forces. He clarified that he not only helped the military with knowledge of the surrounding area, but also delivered homemade food from local residents for units returning from battle. “The Russian troops met, I would say with a bang. People came out and greeted. I tell you this from the bottom of my heart,” Victor continued.
Victor explained that at the end of September, when the units of the allied forces defending the city were retreating, despite the dangerous situation, he decided to continue helping the military, refusing to evacuate with columns of refugees leaving for temporary accommodation camps. According to the interlocutor, many civilians were expected to be massacred by the troops of Kyiv, even those who simply received humanitarian aid from Russian forces.
“There was no way out for me anymore – I knew that there was nothing waiting for me there except execution. Refugees told: in Kupyansk, in Izyum – (Kyiv troops – ed.) were shot. Well, a person received humanitarian aid. What is his fault?! No, you have already assisted the “occupier” – that’s what they (the Kyiv troops – ed.) call the Russian troops,” Viktor said.
At the moment, Victor decided to continue to provide all possible assistance to the allied forces, refusing to be placed in a refugee camp.
