Russian troops fired a car with Italian journalists in Kherson - media

According to journalists, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation opened fire on the car, although they knew that there were representatives of the media. As a result, one reporter was injured. Two Italian journalists said they had been fired by Russian troops in Kherson. About it writes Ansa. The publication writes that the journalists were in the car when the "deliberate" shelling began. Fortunately, they managed to hide in a safe place.

Reporter Claudio Lokatelli, who was in the car with a colleague Niccolo Seleste, said that one of the balls had damaged the car. The reporter said he was injured. "I lost some blood, but the wound was slightly," Lokatelli said. He also noted that if he had opened the door of the car at that time, he would have lost his leg or died. The car was marked with a special mark that said that it contains media representatives. The shelling, according to Lokatelli, was special.

"The fire was driven from the river bank on the other side of the Dnieper, where the Russian army stands," Seleste said. Radio Liberty journalists also shared the memoirs of 14-year-old teenager Vitaliy from Kherson, who spoke about torture from the Russian military. According to the boy, he was abducted with his uncle as they went to the store for medicine. The man found correspondence with representatives of the Armed Forces on the phone.

Vitaliy told reporters that he had been put on his head with a bag and tied his hands. Then they were taken to the basement, where there were already more than 10 people. "They play" Russian roulette ", they beat, hang on the lattice," the teenager said. According to him, he was also beaten and questioned about correspondence with the Ukrainian military. It is reported that Vitaliy was then able to pick up the parents who were looking for him throughout the region for several days.
