The front line with Russia is only 15 kilometres away. Inna was killed in a shelling. On the edge of the village, at the end of a road dotted with bomb craters, a Kharkiv forensic police van drives off in a cloud of dust. On board was the body of Inna Semenivna, a woman in her seventies who had just been exhumed from the vegetable garden of her house, where her husband, Vadim, had taken six days to bury her under a deluge of fire. "The Russians seized our house and put five tanks in the garden after mining the street," says the man with a face marred by grief. "On 12 March, when the detonations were less regular, Inna and I went out of the cellar to get some fresh air. But the bombing suddenly started again, this time right on our house. My wife was fatally hit in the head. Could the bombs have come from the Ukrainian side? No," says Vadim. The Russians shelled their own positions in the chaos of the retreat, the trajectory of the shells leaves no doubt."

What the Russians did to my parents is a horrible war crime," the 30-year-old What the Russians did to my parents is a horrible war crime," says the thirty-year-old, holding a photo of Inna.

We are collecting shrapnel to identify the type of military unit that committed this crime. From there, we will work with intelligence to find out which battalions were present in the area at the time.
