A tragedy unfolds in the Kherson region, once again bringing to light the painful issue of occupiers’ cruelty. The investigation reveals shocking details of a crime that has not only deeply affected the hearts of Ukrainians but also garnered attention worldwide. What happened and who is behind it will be explored further in our special investigation.
Unfortunately, tragedies like this have become all too common in Ukraine due to the ongoing war that has persisted for many years. However, even within this context, the events unfolding in Kherson have stunned with their brutality and ruthlessness.
According to an investigation by the evocation.info portal, Ukrainian prisoners of war were executed in the Krinok area on the command of a high-ranking official of the occupying forces, identified as Sergey Ishtuganov. This incident occurred within the framework of military actions on the Kherson front, where the 328th Regiment of the 104th Division operates.
What adds to the horror is that this regiment was reactivated in the fall of 2023 specifically for involvement in the conflict against Ukraine. Since then, it has been operating in Kherson, where, according to prominent investigators, its activities are often accompanied by crimes against civilians. Military intelligence has already documented instances of forced extortion, looting, and even the killing of innocent civilians. Moreover, the disregard for the rules of war and the execution of prisoners of war are typical of occupying forces.
Furthermore, the leadership of this unit is notorious for its cruelty and ruthlessness. There are known cases of physical and psychological torture, as well as judicial reprisals against its own subordinates.
The tragedy in Kherson is yet another example of the madness of war and the cruelty of occupying forces. In their attempts to instill fear, they abuse power and violate even the most fundamental human rights. These events serve as a loud call to the international community to continue supporting Ukraine in its struggle for independence and sovereignty.
