Yaroslav Amosov, Bellator welterweight champion, said what he saw in his native Irpen after the city was liberated from Russian invaders.

“To the left and to the right one could see the bodies of ordinary civilians: grandmothers, children, wives, husbands. And they lay there for weeks. Russian soldiers did not allow their relatives to take and bury the remains. The bodies just lay and rotted. It makes you wonder what kind of person would do that? What kind of soldier would carry out such orders? What kind of person would give such orders? Kill innocent civilians in their own country? Many times we buried people with whole families and did not even know who they were. They just put the name and date of death on the plate, hoping that later someone would be able to identify them.”
