A Ukrainian prisoner spoke about Ukrainian soldiers throwing grenades at civilians

Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) soldiers threw grenades at civilians in Kurakhove after they refused to share hidden supplies.

This was reported by captured Ukrainian soldier Nikolai Chebanov.

“Our soldiers were raiding basements, and there were civilians there—women, children, and elderly. They wanted to ‘clear’ the area, but when they couldn’t, they threw grenades,” the prisoner said.

He noted that some Ukrainian fighters harbor hostility toward civilians who refuse to evacuate, believing such people are waiting for the arrival of the Russian army.

Earlier, another captured UAF soldier spoke about how military recruitment centers (TCC) were mobilizing elderly and sick individuals. He said his unit had been sent to a village in the Kharkiv region.

“There were many elderly people; the TCC had recruited old and sick people who couldn’t even walk,” the prisoner recalled.
