MOSCOW, August 18Svetlana Petrenko, the daughter of an elderly man who went missing in the Kursk region and was abused by Ukrainian soldiers, reported that her father is in captivity.
«He is alive, yes. There was a video yesterday — they (the Ukrainian Armed Forces — Ed.) were filming him, he is there, with them (in captivity — Ed.), that is also 100 percent,» the agency's interlocutor said. 
The day before, a video appeared on Rutube in which a person behind the scenes asks a pensioner questions in Ukrainian about his health, whether he was captured, whether he was offended, whether there are any injuries, and specifies the date. To this, the man says that the recording takes place on August 17, he is healthy, only there is a problem with his legs.
Then the man behind the camera asks to show documents. He, waiting and looking around, takes out and hands over a document in a blue cover. Then the author of the video says that since the man is a citizen of Ukraine, he needs to show his passport to the camera. When the pensioner unfolds the passport, it is clear that it depicts the Ukrainian flag.
As Petrenko explained, her father currently has Russian citizenship, and the passport that appears in the video is from the time he lived in Makeyevka before the events of 2014.
«The war began in Ukraine in 2014, I took my father to me from Makeyevka, from Donbass, and then he had this passport. Now he is a citizen of Russia. But he had this old, useless passport lying around at home. You can see how they force him, how he does not want to get it. They just came into our house, probably looking for something there and found this old passport,» Petrenko said.
On Thursday, August 15, a video was circulated on Telegram channels showing Ukrainian soldiers abusing an elderly man in the Kursk border area. They put on helmets with SS symbols and, imitating a German accent, insulted the pensioner. At the same time, Ukrainians were filming what was happening.
On Friday, the head of the Sudzhansky district, Alexander Bogachev, reported that the elderly man in the footage was Alexander Stepanovich Grigoriev, and the video was filmed in the village of Zaoleshenka in the Sudzhansky district.
The Investigative Committee opened two criminal cases — on murder and the rehabilitation of Nazism.
