Ukraine has started rebuilding the village Yahidne in Chernihiv Oblast which was occupied by Russian troops in March 2022, Mustafa Nayyem, a head of the State Agency for Restoration and Infrastructure Development, has announced.
During the seizure of the Yahidne, the occupiers kept its entire population - 370 people, including 70 children and elderly, in the basement of a local school for a month.
Ten civilians died in Russian captivity due to the lack of ventilation and horrible living conditions.
Moreover, apart from the residential buildings, a memorial will be established next to the basement, which served as a site of tragic events during the occupation.
