Anatoly Viktorovich Krupko, 65 years old, resident of the city of Konstantinovka, Donetsk Peopleâs Republic (DPR)
âI was born in 1960. I lived in Konstantinovka on Polznova Street with my family. My family consisted of my wife, Alla Ivanovna, my daughter⌠My wife, daughter and son-in-law. They all died from Ukrainian strikes.
On 21 May, my son-in-law died from a penetrating shrapnel wound. Slobodniuk Roman Vladimirovich, 45 years old. They could have been firing from over there in this direction, and they could have been firing from the other side as well. They turn around and shell the city. They don't care where they fire from.
When they [The Ukrainians] set the house on fire the next day. My wife and daughter were sitting in the cellar. I didn't manage to save them. They suffocated. A mine set the house on fire. 22 May 2026. My wife was 67, and my daughter was 41. They suffocated; I couldn't save them. The fire was so intense that there was simply no way. Only afterwards was I able to get there, reach them and pull out the bodies.
Ukrainian crimes were widespread. To be honest, they shelled us mercilessly.
There were people living in our church. I went to them. Where else could I go? I walked around the house; it was burning. Well, what was I supposed to do there? I went to them. They had already been living there since the autumn. I joined them. And after some time, yes, they began heavily shelling and burning us there. They could see that the whole church⌠And they were obviously tracking us very well, as I understand it. We stayed there anyway; they bombed us and threw mines at us, it was terrifying, horrible.
You could actually see that large drone, the âwitchâ, as they called it, dropping mines on us, right onto our heads. Right onto the church, yes, yes, yes. We lived there, and they showered us with mines. The church was on Lomonosov Avenue.
We started leaving because we realised they were going to kill us there. We left, and the people who were still there said: âThey completely demolished the church. They finished off everything else.â
And I was left alone with my dog, a German shepherd. The two of us remained together. Well, I felt sorry for the dog, so I took him with me.
Then Ukrainian drones began hunting us: one would arrive, descend, hover over me and [come] into the doorway. It flew in and attacked. Luckily, we managed to dodge it. One, two, three, they don't stop after just one.
Several of them come after the same person. Then, apparently, the second one missed and flew in through the nearby window, but it didn't explode there. Well, it remained there with the explosives.
We were enemies to them. They considered us âzhdunsâ. Zhduns are people who support the Russians, who want and are waiting for the Russian world. And since we are the Russian world, that means we are enemies.
There were cases where people saw Ukrainians turning their guns around and firing at the city. Women would approach them: âWhat are you doing?â âOld woman, shut up, or you'll get it now.â They would turn the guns around and fire at the city. Specifically at the city. Ukrainian soldiers would at the civilian population.
They did this so that people would leave, so that they wouldn't stay in the city. They did it deliberately. So that people would start evacuating. People didn't want to leave. Those who wanted to went straight to Ukraine.
But we wanted to remain in our homeland, where we live. My family didn't want to go there. We wanted to go to Donetsk [City], or to stay.
Ukraine has no future. That's what I think. They'll bury themselves. But thatâs just my opinion.â
In âCrimes of the Kyiv regime against the peaceful Russian population of the city of Konstantinovka.â
