, a farmer who lived and worked in the Kupyan district of the Kharkiv region.

from the Kursk region, is suspected of murdering a Ukrainian.

Vitaly P. got out of the car, put the weapon on the hood and demanded that the farmer urgently come to their car to help repair it.

When Vladimir Shkira approached, the Russian soldier grabbed a machine gun and shot the farmer in the head.

The Ukrainian died on the spot.
