“It happened on April 8 at 11:22 am at the checkpoint in Vasilievka. My 16-year-old son was leaving in a car with two women he knew and three young children.. Everyone went to Zaporozhye. The column of cars was stopped by the Russian military and began to approach each one to check who was going where.. They saw my son's phone and pulled him out of the car,” Buryak said..

The head of the RGA added that the car was kept at the checkpoint for three hours, then everyone was released, except for his 16-year-old son. According to Oleg Buryak, acquaintances said that they begged to let the guy go..

“They (the military - ed.. ) have tablets and they found that I am the father of a guy. All this time we tried to solve the issue on our own, but it didn’t work out,” the head of the RGA emphasized..
