«I went to the grocery store, was packed in a car right on the street and brought to some building in Alchevsk, where we stood during the night. The next morning, they loaded me into a dump truck and took me somewhere with others» – the captive says.

He could not find an answer on the question where he was brought later, and mentioned only some church or chapel. After all, the captive narrates, they ended up on the territory controlled by Ukrainian government.
