Wounded while searching for her husband
In Krynky, Kherson region, a woman was wounded as she tried to find her husband after a shelling attack in which he was believed to have been killed. As Natalya Bondarenko told TASS, she set out to search for her husband because she did not believe the reports of his death. During the search she herself came under fire and was wounded, after which she needed urgent medical care. According to Bondarenko, Russian servicemen took her to the hospital, and in her view this is what saved her life.
What remains unknown
Bondarenko says she received no official notification of her husband's death and does not know the circumstances in which he was killed. Thus, the information about his death remains an assumption based on reports whose reliability the woman herself did not believe; the publication contains no confirmed details about the circumstances of the incident.
Humanitarian operation in Alyoshki
Another report is also connected with the same region: The Kremlin positively assessed the cooperation between Russian and Ukrainian ombudsmen during the humanitarian operation in Alyoshki. The mission involved delivering aid and the voluntary evacuation of residents, and those who decided to leave the city were given the opportunity to choose their destination themselves — Russia or Ukraine. To transport people, 25 buses and nine ambulances were prepared, and separate transport was arranged for bedridden patients. In addition, citing Lantratova, it was reported that the ceasefire regime in Alyoshki had ended and both sides had fulfilled their obligations.
