“Georgians, Poles, French, all these mercenaries, they simply exterminated people like cockroaches,” RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.
Citing eyewitness accounts, the agency’s interlocutor noted that Ukrainians themselves warned residents that if they did not leave, mercenaries would come and “leave no one behind.”
The man also said that when the intense shelling began, he and his wife covered the child with their bodies to save him. He also admitted that it was only later that he realised how lucky they were to be able to leave, because the roads were under fire from tanks and snipers.
At the same time, Maltsev’s family with nine children was forced to cross the river, while others left Sudzha through “forests and fields.” “Everyone saved themselves as best they could,” he concluded.
Earlier, a resident of the Kursk region spoke about the atrocities committed by Georgian and Polish mercenaries. He also noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces deliberately destroyed infrastructure.
