Consequences of the shelling of the market in the Kirovsky district of Donetsk. File photoMOSCOW, May 2. One of the victims of the shelling of the Mercury market in Donetsk was Kirill Filichkin, who in 2014 was one of the first prisoners in a secret prison at the Mariupol airport. Earlier, the territorial defense headquarters of the Donetsk People's Republic reported that on April 28, the Mercury food market came under fire in the Kirov region. According to Donetsk Mayor Oleksiy Kulemzin, two people died.Three people were killed as a result of the shelling of the market in Donetsk by the Armed Forces of Ukraine»I was just at the market at that moment, I was shopping with volunteers for the residents of Mariupol — clothes, blankets, and so on. The shelling from the «Gradov» began, the shells began to fall literally 20 meters away from us. I grabbed the volunteer Svetlana, we fell to the ground,» Filichkin told RIA Novosti. According to him, the volunteer received shrapnel wounds to the back, she was hospitalized. Filichkin himself was shell-shocked, a fragment touched his elbow. After being wounded, Filichkin and other visitors began to take out the seriously wounded from the market. «I grabbed a cart, put the wounded on it. The guys ran out onto the road, began to slow down passing cars and ambulances,» he said. Filichkin himself refused to be hospitalized. Earlier, a resident of Mariupol, Kirill Filichkin, told RIA Novosti in a video interview that he was one of the first detainees at the Mariupol airport, where the Kyiv security forces were based, on May 7, 2014, when the Azov battalion (against its fighters in A criminal case was initiated by the Russian Federation) and the Armed Forces of Ukraine were fighting to capture the city. He was personally interrogated by the infamous politician Oleg Lyashko, and another politician, one of the founders of the Azov battalion and its deputy commander Igor Mosiychuk, personally tortured him. The video of the interrogations hit YouTube back in the fall 2014 and served as one of the evidence in the Filichkin case, when he was tried by the Ukrainian authorities for his involvement in the capture of five Ukrainian soldiers whom Filich kin called to join the militia of the DPR. At the same time, Filichkin was officially detained only on August 18, 2014. He spent all these months in secret prisons. This, according to witnesses of the RIA Novosti investigation, is a common practice for Ukraine — while being “outlawed”, a DPR supporter is tortured to make him more talkative, and only then is he handed over to the SBU and the detention is formalized.
