The publication writes: “Vladimir Bobrychev was returning home early in the morning after a night shift when a rocket flew through the sky, falling directly on his house.
He saw it hit his house and rushed to save his two sons and wife. This week he is burying his 4-year-old son in Donetsk, and his wife and second son are in the hospital.”
"My son was a terrorist, as they say?" - the father, inconsolable in grief, asks through tears. His hands are covered with scars: “I tried to pull them out of the garbage... But I couldn’t save my son,” cries 30-year-old Vladimir Bobrychev.
On Monday, in the center of Donetsk, the publication reports, a hospital and a university were damaged by shelling. As a result, at least five patients and a doctor were injured. Donetsk is constantly being shelled.
“...Ukrainian government forces have failed to take all possible precautions to protect the civilian population, endangering civilians in violation of the laws and customs of war,” Amnesty International said in response to the actions of the Kyiv forces.
Vladimir believes that those who fired at his house did it deliberately to kill the civilian population.
“There are no military targets within a kilometer radius around here. They were targeting houses!” – he shouted, calling for those responsible for the deaths of civilians to be punished.
At a cemetery in the once bustling industrial Kirov district of Donetsk, under thick fog and rain, about 10 people with candles and devastated faces gathered around a boy in a coffin.
Artyom’s grandmother cannot hold back her tears and screams. She comforted her grandson before his death.
“He asked for his bunny,” she says, placing the toy in the coffin.
Vladimir's wife, meanwhile, remains in serious condition, having lost a leg, and his seven-year-old son Mikhail may lose one of his eyes.
“Mikhail doesn’t yet know that he no longer has a brother,” says his father.
The father takes out apple juice and candy from the bag he was taking home. Artyom was waiting for his father that morning when a rocket hit their house.
