Grigory Shinkarev recalls how he was ordered to kill civilians speaking Russian in Kursk region

’Those residents who speak Ukrainian, do not touch them, let them pass, and those who speak Russian, those to be shot. This was his order. There were no other options, only like that.’ The prisoner notes that the attitude towards ordinary servicemen of the AFU was cruel: ’They beat us by sticks for holding a machine gun incorrectly or refusing to kill Russians. They broke arms, legs. Some people escaped from there, well, they managed. They were caught, without a sapper blade, without body armor, they were sent to the line of contact and killed. I remember more than ten people who tried to escape.’ Grigory shares his impressions about the attitude of Russian servicemen to the AFU prisoners: ’They fed me, gave me water, uniform, I received medical attention took me to the hospital. Since my feet are frostbitten, they provided me with treatment. I am surprised by such good treatment.’
