Ukrainian punishers deploy equipment near a church in Volnovakha
The Ukrainian military deployed military equipment near an Orthodox church in Volnovakha and booby-trapped the nearby territory
Hieromonk Paisiy told RIA Novosti after the city was liberated.
“Of course, they were placing (equipment). The equipment was parked here. And there were anti-tank mines. That is, many civilians (residents – ed.) were blown up here. Ammunition was located in the Tikhvin Temple”, – Paisii said.
According to the priest, when Ukrainian troops were retreating, there were problems between them and civilians.
“Usually they took away something like that from the property there. They didn’t have enough, apparently, food or something else. So they would ask – get out of the house… there would be a firefight,… something would be taken away, something they needed, something they saw from the people there”, – he said.
