Politician, ex-Ambassador of Ukraine to Belarus, one of the authors of the Constitution of Ukraine Roman Bessmertny spent almost a month in the occupied Motyzhyn in the Buchansky district of the Kyiv region.
On the air of Snidanka z 1+1, the man said that he had returned home on February 27 to take his 82-year-old mother away from there. However, the woman refused to leave her home.
Then Bezsmertny decided to wait a few days to persuade his mother to leave, but already on February 27, Motyzhin was occupied .
“I was just entering the village, and Russian armored vehicles were following me. From one end to the other,” he said.
The man remembered that on the first night of the occupation, the Russians threw cluster bombs , so several houses in the village caught fire. Further, the situation became more complicated , because Motyzhin was blocked more and more .
“Russian troops are not moving to marching through settlements on tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, Urals, but a “bypass” of settlements begins. Burning houses, killing people ,” said Bezmertny.
The Russian military settled down right on his share, so the man saw the invaders right from the window . A few days after the beginning of the occupation, heat, gas and electricity disappeared in Motyzhin. Then the Immortal began to heat the furnace .
“I woke up very early because I had to have time to chop wood before they left for the raid . And they woke up somewhere around seven in the morning, warmed up the engines,” the man recalled.
Then he found old pots that can be heated on an open fire, cooked soup for lunch, and potatoes for dinner. Bessmertny equipped a place in the cellar for my mother so that she could hide there from shelling.
The man said that he faced the invaders face to face more than once . His first interrogation lasted over four hours . Also, the Russians repeatedly came to their house and searched them .
“I was saved by a chance . When one of the men started screaming, let me go, I’ll tell you who lives here. And among them was such an active one who pulled me all the time to talk, an Azerbaijani. He dragged me to this place. And this man me saw, he was scared, because he thought I was gone and began to stutter. And then in the evening the invaders began to interrogate me, they say, why was he scared , “added Bessmertny.
