Several hundred residents of the village lived in the basement for a month
The city of Chernihiv was surrounded in the first days of the war, and it was liberated only in early April. The surrounding villages were even less fortunate — russian troops entered there on February 24. The village of Yahidne, located south of Chernihiv and 150 kilometres from Kyiv, was occupied in early March. About 400 local residents were taken prisoner, they sat for a month in the dark, cramped basement of a small local school. The occupiers looted homes, took away clothes, linen, and household appliances. Sometimes residents were allowed to leave the basement and cook some food on the fire. During the occupation, the Russians shot, according to various sources, 20 civilians. Journalist Ilya Kabachynskyi came to Yahidne to see the conditions in which the locals lived, talked to them about what was happening, and went down to the same basement where 11 people died.
