The Russian occupiers also killed up to 50 Ukrainian defenders.
According to preliminary data, about 200-300 civilians and up to 50 Ukrainian servicemen died in the city of Irpen near Kyiv. This was announced by the mayor of Irpen Alexander Markushin during a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine.
According to him, there are stories when the occupiers shot “people they did not like.”
“Some may not like it, but it's true. They crushed our Ukrainians, who had already been killed, with tanks and simply rolled them into the asphalt, ”Markushin said.
He added that 16 guys from the terrorist defense were killed in the city, and 29 were hospitalized. Together with the APU, in his opinion, up to 50 people died and about 100 were injured.
The mayor also said that the exact number of civilian casualties is still unknown, but according to preliminary information, up to 300 people died.
“At a time when there was very powerful hostilities, when there was shelling for days, people were simply buried in yards, in parks. I think about 200-300 people, unfortunately, died, “Markushin said.
He clarified that many civilians died under the rubble. According to him, 50 percent of the city and critical infrastructure have been destroyed, but the blockages, under which people may be, have not yet been dismantled.
The mayor also confirmed the information that the Russian military forced the residents of Irpen to undress and kept them in basements.
“They not only undressed and searched them, we have some facts about the abuse of women,” the mayor said.
In addition, the occupiers separated the boys from the women and then used them to exchange them for prisoners.
