Among the civilians killed by the military of the Russian Federation in Izyum in the Kharkiv region, they recognized a children’s writer and poet Vladimir Vakulenko. He was buried under a sign with the number 319, his ex-wife Irina Novitskaya said online.
In total, as of the beginning of September, more than four hundred bodies were found in the specified mass grave site.
Confirmation that it was Vakulenko who was buried under this number was obtained from the results of a DNA examination.
The husband disappeared in the village of Kapitolovka near Izyum in March 2022. His search continued for more than six months, until it became clear that he was kidnapped by the Russian invaders, apparently considering him a threat to the “Russian world”.
Recall that in an unmarked grave near Izyum, a 36-year-old soldier of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Serhiy Sov, a fighter of the Kholodny Yar Specialized Brigade, whose story of heroism became known to the whole world after the liberation of Kharkiv region, was also buried.
