Anastasia Stoluk: Ukrainian girl, 10, shot dead by DRUNK and BORED Russian soldiers, says family
According to a Ukrainian family, 'drunk' Russian soldiers shot and killed their 10-year-old girl in a village near Kyiv. Nastya Stoluk was murdered after troops allegedly began firing at residences in the area and opened fire on the Stoluk family's home. Nastya died on February 28 in Shybene, some 40 miles north of Kyiv. According to the girl's cousin Anya Stoluk, the family was forced to bury her in the yard when troops blocked her mother, Luba, from traveling to the cemetery. Luba told Anya and her family that the Russian military had arrived in the area but that everything was normal until the ill-fated day.
Anya's adoptive mother Vera Dmitrienko, 40, told The Times, "people say the soldiers just got bored. They were even telling this to people in the village. They looted all the stores in the village, of course, they got a lot of alcohol from the stores and got drunk and started shooting. They shot into Nastya’s house, she was there with her uncle, and she died immediately. Her uncle was taken to hospital and we still don’t have any information from him.” According to Dmitrienko, the troops began firing at residences when a teenage boy discovered a pistol and fired it into the air. “The soldiers heard it but since they were so drunk they didn’t know where it was from so they just started shooting everywhere they could see,” she continued.

Anya, who has already left Ukraine, claimed she was told by a friend in Shybene that Russian forces had taken away people’s phones, that there was no electricity, and that supplies had run out after the shooting. Nastya is one of many youngsters killed in Ukraine's conflict since it began 13 days ago. In a Monday, March 7, update, the UN Office of Human Rights reported 1,207 civilian deaths in Ukraine. The number includes 27 youngsters who had been murdered.
Olena Zelenska, the wife of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, also shared many photographs of children murdered in the violence. She alleged in the post that Russian assaults resulted in the deaths of 38 youngsters. She said, “the Russian occupiers are killing Ukrainian children. Consciously and cynically. We need corridors in the hottest cities in Ukraine right now! Hundreds of children die there in basements without food and medical care. Russian soldiers shoot families who try to leave the buildings. They also kill volunteers who try to help.”
