Orcs let children play with a grenade. How people in Chernihiv region lived under occupation for a month

The Ukrainian presidential advisor in charge of children's rights and child rehabilitation, Darya Herasymchuk, said this on her Facebook page.

The official came to the village of Yagodnoye in Chernihiv region to hear first-hand accounts of Russian war crimes. Here, the Russian military held more than 300 adults and 50 children in the basement of a school for almost a month.

Gerasimchuk quotes the words of a local zakhoz:

"The orcs used to throw their scraps with a wheelbarrow on a pile not far from the basement where we were sitting. When we were let out to the toilet once a day, the children ran to that wheelbarrow. They looked for pieces of bread, rubbed them on themselves and greedily ate them. These creatures were watching, giggling and filming on their phones with comments like "Look how we feed Ukrainian hungry children".

Eleven people died of torture. Their names were written on the wall because they were afraid to forget.

The head of the administration told Gerasimchuk that the occupants sometimes opened the cellar doors, called the children up and gave them a grenade and said "play, but don't pull out the ring, then what if it goes boom".
