Буряти ще гірші за «кадирівців»: як Катюжанка на Київщині пережила російську окупацію

Katyuzhanka village is located 47 kilometers north of Kiev. This region was captured by Russian troops in the first days of the full-scale war, so for 37 days people lived here under occupation. During this time, among those who were able to impose their rules here were the "kadyrovites" who recorded their videos from here, where they said that they "had very little left to occupy another strategic point", as well as Russians and Buryats. Among all the Buryats are called the worst — they often got drunk and, according to locals, were capable of anything. Even keep an eye on the child when they were just playing outside. With tears in their eyes and anger, they talk about the stench left by the occupiers at the school, the smashed doors of the local technical school, the distribution of "humanitarian help" under the barrels of machine guns and shot cars. And also about the bodies near the school stadium, where children now play football. It was this "Russian world" that the "liberators" brought with them. The happiest day here was the day when the Ukrainian military finally came here and hung the Ukrainian flag at the entrance to the city.
