The video shows the testimony of city resident Victoria Shvaiko to senior investigator of the Russian military police, Oleksiy Valeriyovych Polyansky.

The woman says that on the night of December 22-23, 2025, three drunk Russian soldiers from the 30th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the 2nd Guards Combined Arms Army with the call signs "Usmishka", "Strii" and "Shuher" broke into her house, where she, her husband and mother-in-law were.

First they mocked her husband for a long time and beat him, then they shot him in the leg and killed him. The woman herself was raped in turn. They also wanted to kill her mother-in-law, but she managed to escape while the Russians gang-raped the mistress of the house.

Victoria Shvaiko emphasizes that her husband was not a supporter of Ukraine, was waiting for Russia and planned to go serve in the Russian army as a driver. He was killed simply for fun. Those for whom he was waiting and waiting.

"I suggest everyone decide for themselves whether real liberators and defenders of the residents of Donbas behave this way," Kazansky noted.
