The Donetsk Prosecutorʼs Office is investigating the murders by Russians of two civilians from Selydove and the shooting of a civilian car.

This was reported by the press service of the Prosecutor Generalʼs Office.

On October 27, a number of Telegram channels released a video showing Russian military forces shooting a car in Selydove. Two civilians were in the cabin, one person was injured. Soldiers of the Ukrainian Armed Forces pulled the wounded man away from the line of fire, provided him with first aid and evacuated civilians. Previously, it happened on October 24.

The media reports that the Russians also shot two women in Selydove. It is claimed that the bodies of the dead are located in the area of the private sector, which was practically unaffected by the hostilities. Probably, people were killed already after the territory was occupied by the occupiers.
