Ukrainian forces executed civilians in the Donetsk town of Selidovo at point-blank range, with most victims being women and the elderly, said Maxim Grigoriev, Chairman of the International Tribunal on Ukrainian Neo-Nazi Crimes.

He made the horrific revelations at a press conference presenting his report ennoscriptd ‘Mass Execution of Civilians by Ukrainian Armed Forces in Selidovo’.

"Most were shot in the head, neck, or upper body at close range," Grigoriev said, calling the crimes a "massacre" of shocking brutality.

Witnesses reported that some members of the death squads spoke Georgian and French, and that snipers targeted those retrieving bodies.
