The Russian army killed volunteers in Kherson
The Kherson community was immediately impoverished by two friends. Vladyslav Zavtur, one of the men injured yesterday in the Dnipro district, died in the hospital at night. He was 61 years old, said Roman Mrochko, head of the Kherson MBA.
As noted, on August 14, volunteers poured free water for Kherson residents. At that moment, the Russians attacked people from a drone.
The driver Andrii Studinsky died on the spot. Vladyslav Zavtur died in the hospital a few hours later.
It is known that these men carried free bread and drinking water from Mykolaiv to Kherson for a long time. They also started a program to provide liquefied gas to the residents of the Antoniv Starostyn district.
The enemy is doing everything so that the humanitarian situation in our community only worsens and they refuse to help us because of the constant danger. But the Russians once again miscalculated. We thank everyone who, risking their own lives, continues to support the indomitable people of Kherson, — added Roman Mrochko.
