The family was forced to leave their home at gunpoint.
In the Kharkiv region, local authorities continue to restore the infrastructure of settlements that were occupied by the Russians. So, in the village of Grakove, Chuguyiv district, the power grid, which was destroyed by 80%, is already fully operational.
This is reported by Channel 24.
As noted, from February to September 2022, part of the Kharkiv region was under occupation. Currently, the details of the gruesome war crimes committed by the Russians are still being revealed. The village of Grakove suffered significant losses during the invasion, its part is still mined.
On the territory of the house of Kateryna Ponomarenko, who is a resident of the settlement, there were from eight to 12 flights – you can spot them by the holes left after the bombs were hit. Now the family is rebuilding the destroyed home with the help of volunteers. Russians lived in it during the occupation.
«They evicted the family from the house, threatening them with weapons. Cadets of a Russian university were settled there. They amused themselves by detonating grenades in canisters in other premises,» said Anna Chernenko, a correspondent from Kharkiv.
The father of the family is still considered missing. The man disappeared, and the family has had no contact with him for 10 months. They were forced to leave their home at gunpoint.
«The occupier holds his son at the sight of a machine gun and says: ‘You have 10 minutes to leave here, if you want him to be alive and you to be alive,’» said Kateryna’s mother.
It is unknown where the man is now.
