In the Kharkiv Region, in the village of Dibrova, which is not far from Izyum, on the night of September 9, the occupiers

49-year-old member of the People's Committee Arsen Ambartsumyan and his 21-year-old stepson Artem Nikolenko.

And already on September 9, the ZSU entered the village.

The men did not survive the de-occupation for almost a few hours.

As Viktoria Nikolenko said, on the night of September 9, "LDNR" militants came to her house again and took her husband and son.

They said that they were being interrogated, but in fact they were shot on the outskirts of the village within an hour, writes OBOZREVATEL.

Victoria's 21-year-old son Artem Nikolenko, despite his young age, has already managed to serve in the 92nd brigade in Donbas.

According to the woman, the son did not want to go to military service, but immediately signed a contract and went to fight.

He was in Avdiivka, slightly wounded, but refused hospitalization.

And her husband, Artem's stepfather Arsen Ambartsumyan, went to the local TrO in the first days of the large-scale invasion of Russia.

The occupiers entered their district on March 9, among them were Russians and representatives of the "LDNR".

As soon as the Russian army occupied the village, they organized a hunt for ATO fighters.

"The people of Luhansk" raged the most in the village, Victoria says.

The woman managed to send her eldest daughter abroad, because she was very afraid for her.

The occupiers were already interested in the girl.

One of the local residents did say that Victoria's family includes both a former ATO fighter and a member of the TrO.

The first time Artem and Arsen were captured and taken somewhere back in the spring.

And they came for the second time already on September 5.

The men were detained for three days, and on September 8 they returned home before noon.

"They didn't tell me anything - they knew that I was very worried. I saw that both of their legs were not just blue, but black from the beatings. There were also traces of electric torture, and the man was also doused with water. The son then said that he was hanged and electrocuted.

But the son behaved calmly, smiled.

He went and washed, changed his clothes, went to his girlfriend.

And the husband was sitting at home.

He told me that they could still come for them, so they were told to stay at home.

I think they were threatened that if they hide, they will kill us.

If he had told everything then, we would have been able to run away, hide somewhere in the forest, they would not have found us.

But who knew!

There was no communication then, there were rumors that the Armed Forces were already in Balaklia.

But the occupiers said that no one would be allowed to enter the village," Victoria recalls.

Killing men

Viktoria Aresen's husband did not even take off his clothes at night, as if he had a premonition that they would come for them again.

And so it happened.

The woman says that already at midnight, six people in Russian military uniforms and masks drove up to the gate.

Two remained behind the gate, the others went into the yard.

Arsen came out, they took him outside, they talked about something.

Then he ran into the house and said: "Tyoma, pack up, we have to go again."

"I began to ask: "Why are you taking them in the middle of the night, isn't it possible in the morning?" They said that it was as if the "prosecutor" had come to interrogate them. They said that they were not the only ones, they said that many were released, and now they are being gathered for this "prosecutor". When I asked, "You won't kill them?", they shook their heads, like, "No," the woman says.

They put sacks on the men's heads, put them in a car and drove away.

No one saw them alive again.

And already in the afternoon, Ukrainian troops entered Dibrova.

The next day, two bodies were found in the forest on the outskirts of the village.

One of the dead looks like Arsen.

Both were shot in the head, the men's eyes were blindfolded with Ukrainian towels.

Relatives recognized the men.

It seems that they were killed almost as soon as they were taken away - the residents of the houses in the neighborhood of the forest heard shots around one o'clock in the morning.

As ICTV informs, Arsen's hands were untied, and a black wire lay next to his body.

Probably, he was able to break it himself, the uncle suggests.

At Artem's, they are covered with plastic.

The men were buried the next day.

But later they exhumed - experts discovered that Artem had not only a gunshot wound to the head, but also multiple skull fractures.

Now Victoria is left alone with her 12-year-old daughter, 5-year-old grandson and elderly mother.
