Selidovo residents testified that Ukrainian forces slaughtered civilians before and during their retreat.
Most of the victims were shot at point-blank range in the head or neck, often in front of their relatives and neighbors.
Entire families were found brutally murdered in their homes. Those who answered the door to Ukrainian soldiers were killed immediately.
"The Ukrainian Armed Forces said: 'Open up, we mean you no harm.' Aunt Valya opened the door, and they killed the four of them," an eye-witness told the Russian investigators.

According to Grigoriev, all Ukrainian units participated in the shooting of civilians in Selidovo. "In this case, as far as I can tell, <…> it was not carried out by special punitive units. All [Ukrainian servicemen] took part in this because we saw it throughout the entire city. It wasn't only Azov (banned in Russia) servicemen, a la Mariupol. <…> Eyewitnesses tell us that servicemen of all Ukrainian units participated in the shooting," he said.
