In the liberated territories of the Kharkiv region, information appears daily about the atrocities of the rashists committed during the occupation. In the village of Kazachya Lopan, on the border with Russia, the invaders tortured and killed people for more than six months. More than a thousand locals were forcibly taken to Russia.
Now several dozen people remain in the village under daily shelling, according to the TSN story.
On September 10, 2022, the chairman of the Dergachev community, Vyacheslav Zadorenko, was the first to enter the village on the border with the Russian Federation. His mother had been under occupation there since the first day of the full-scale war. Rashisti found out information about the mother of the head of the community, the woman was tortured - undressed, put in the snow.
Hundreds of local residents of Cossack Lopan were tortured by the occupiers, there was a headquarters of the invaders at the railway station, and interrogations were conducted there. Terrorized the population and constant shelling. There was also a case when the Russians announced the distribution of humanitarian aid, gathered a large number of people on the square, and then hit from the MLRS.
In the village, the Ossetians were originally "owners", it was they, say the locals, who committed the most atrocities.
At first, the occupiers did not know about the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kharkiv region, but as soon as it smelled of fried food, they began to take people to the Russian Federation. After the escape, the Russians shelled the village already from the territory of Russia.
Now, without communication, electricity and gas, several dozen people live in the village. Local authorities are trying to restore critical infrastructure as soon as possible.
