What was in Yahidne?

In March, when the village was under occupation, the Russians drove more than 300 people into the cramped basement of a village school. The Russian occupiersʼ headquarters was set up in the school, so civilians became their "living shield." The youngest prisoner was one and a half months old, and the oldest was 93 years old. There were a total of 77 children in the basement. People were forcibly detained in inhumane conditions: tightness and suffocation, complete darkness, hunger and thirst, and bad sanitary. As a result, 10 civilians died in the basement from March 9 to 28. Also at this time in Yahidne the occupiers killed 17 more people.
