'They Were Shot In The Head':Beloved Son, Son-In-Law Among Victims Of 'Deliberate Cruelty' by Russia
When Russian troops entered Stariy Bykiv on February 27, three days after the invasion of Ukraine began, they took her adult son and son-in-law from her courtyard by force, saying they would be questioned and then released later in the day.
They did not come back that evening, though, and when they had still not returned the next morning, Vovk, growing anxious, set off with a cousin to search for them.
She found them not far from her home -- lying dead along with four other bodies next to an abandoned, windowless, one-story building.
