How Ukrainian citizens live on the occupied Kinburn peninsula
The Russian occupants continue to shell and mine the protected territory of the Kynburne Peninsula.
NikVesti published the story of one of the local residents about the situation on the peninsula. According to him, for the first time the invaders entered the territory of the Kinburn Peninsula around March 18:
The Russians arrived on self-propelled howitzers, fired at Ochakov, received an accurate answer on their positions from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and left.
The publication writes that the invaders returned to the territory of the peninsula on March 27:
Approximately 25 vehicles of various types: "Tigers", KamAZ trucks, armored personnel carriers. They went into every house, checked everyone's documents, checked for weapons - they took them from the hunters. They said “we are with you for a long time, until September 1.
And it was from March that sheer horror began on the peninsula, according to eyewitnesses:
Now there is a cemetery: there is no forest, a lot of equipment, there are "two hundredths". Since the summer, there have been situations where they could set fire to the forest. So they left the school where they settled, went into the forest, set it on fire. Everything is on fire, people are fussing. They fired on each other there. They did this: they fired from the direction of the village of Vasilievka towards Khutorov, in the villages, in the forest.
Almost daily, wild animals explode on mines, there are cases of human casualties:
They completely mined the entire spit, everything: from the economic zone to the Black Sea. They themselves explode. Let them blow up, of course, but we need someone to “collect” these mines. Previously, we constantly had 70 wild horses. The last time I was there, only their bones lay, because they are torn apart by mines. The horses are almost gone. At any time you can hear an explosion - this means that someone has stepped. My neighbor also went fishing and hit a mine.
The man also said:
They robbed a lot of our houses. They came with KamAZ trucks and took out everything: furniture, toilet bowls, freezers, refrigerators. In Pokrovka and Vasilievka, I know that they settled in large houses for 5-6 people. While I was there, they didn't kill people yet, but psychologically and physically they influenced people. Beat, exhaust. I myself was a prisoner. In fact, what they did to us, I had only seen in the movies before. Until there are more of them. The locals who stayed there cannot say anything for sure now, because they are all very intimidated.
