In early June, in Buch, a resident of one of the houses along Yablonskaya Street, which is known as the "Alley of the Pepov", found an alien mobile phone that the Russian military could leave. During the occupation, they lived in her house.
As “important stories” managed to find out, this phone belonged to the only surviving execution on March 4-43-year-old builder Ivan Skibe. On the day when the Russian military killed at least the eight inhabitants of Buchi, they called their loved ones from the phone of the skibe home.
We talked with a skibe about what the Russian invaders did in Buch and how he managed to survive. They also found eight Pskov paratroopers, who most likely called from his phone.
The first time the Russian military tried to enter Buch on February 27, but, having met a rebuff and suffering significant losses, retreated. The Russians continued the offensive on March 3. “On this day, I was in territorial defense at a checkpoint in Buch, helped organize the evacuation of civilians,” Ivan Skib restores the events of those days in a conversation with “important stories”. “By the radio, we heard that [Russian] technology entered the city, shot the house in front of the checkpoint.” Men, all mostly from Terobors, who were at a checkpoint with a skiba, hid in house 31 on Yablonskaya Street. In total, there were nine men in the house, including the owner of the house.

They spent the night in the house, the next day, March 4, at about 11 in the morning, three Russian military broke the door and took everyone out into the street. “We were divided by all, they were looking for tattoos,” says Ivan. - shouted: “You are Bandera!” ” Then the military took the phones from all.
The men were forced to lift each other, take up the jacket in front of the standing, and under the muzzle of the accompanying people led to the house 144 on the same Yablonskaya Street - a four -story office building, where Russian invaders arranged their headquarters.

There men were forced to take off shoes and jackets. They knelt down, some tied their hands. One of the detainees, 28-year-old Vitaly Karpenko, shot at once-Ivan Skiba saw this. Skibu and another man, Andrei Verbovoy, was brought into the building, Ivan was put on his head, they began to knock on him with his butt and brick. What happened to Verbov, Skiba guesses: he no longer heard his voice; Most likely, he was killed.
“After that, they brought me again, put on my knees,” the Skiba, who was returned to the detainees. “The military decided among themselves what to do with us, one said:“ Fuck them, just take them [somewhere] so that they would not be lying here. ” One of the captives was released, because, as Skiba says, he was “shaking” and admitted that he was in Terborne. Now he is under investigation, the Ukrainian authorities are accusing him of Gosomen.
The rest of the men were led by the corner of the house; Skiba recalls that there were two military, they looked very young. Further, men were set to face the wall and the shooting began. Skiba remembers the words of one military man: "Everything, fucked for you, fucking, Bandera!" The bullet went along the tangent, hitting Ivan the side, he collapsed to the ground. "They shot, finished off those who showed some signs of life." Skiba fell next to a dead man who was already lying on the ground before they arrived: "I tried not to breathe, only the steam walked from my mouth."

When everyone was subsided and the military left, Ivan was able to free his hands wrapped with tape. “I was without shoes, so I took off my shoes from the murdered lad, who was lying there before us.” In the terrible photograph, which journalists took after the departure of the Russians from Buchi, lies seven bodies.
Skiba ran from the scene - climbed through three fences and ended up in a private house in which the invaders had already visited. In the house, everything was turned upside down. He found a jacket, hat and alcohol - he was able to treat wounds.
For 10-20 minutes, Ivan lay down on the sofa, trying to warm himself, but the military, who again broke into the house, prevented this. “I said that I am the owner of the house, the family was evacuated. My face was in the blood, said-something flew in. "
Subscribe to the newsletter of “important stories” to find out the truth about the war in UkraineThe military again took Ivan to the headquarters in the 144th house, where he was provided with medical assistance, and then they brought to the bunker, where about 200 civilians hid from shelling.
On March 7, the Russian military brought everyone out. At first they released women and children. Then men. “We were told:“ We came to free you! ” Something like: we are cool guys, do not pick up a weapon, we let you go. I think the bunker was needed by him himself to hide from shelling, ”says Skiba.
Ivan went into the house, where his wife and children hid in the basement. The whole family managed to evacuate first in Kyiv, then to Lviv. In Lviv, Ivan was issued paper stating that he was not suitable for military service and he is recommended for rehabilitation. So he was released abroad.
Now Ivan Skiba is in Poland: he, like other Ukrainian refugees, was sheltered in his house by a Polish pensioner with Ukrainian roots Wojciech Okinsky. “I am undergoing rehabilitation now,” says Skiba. “I’m flying my teeth, they hoped me on my teeth, some picked up.”

From the seized or, more simply, stolen phone Ivan Skiba, on March 4, they called three dozens of Russian numbers. The call list was published by the Bucha Live telegram channel.
We managed to establish that Pskov paratroopers called from the phone of the skiba to Russia, some of several numbers at once. This is not the first evidence that military personnel from the Pskov military unit 32,515 and 74 268, that is, from the 104th and 234th landing and scene regiments, may be involved in the crimes in Buch. This was written by The New York Times, referring to the data provided by the Ukrainian Security Service. Reuters also published evidence of the presence of the Pskov paratroopers in Buch.
“Important stories” found eight military from Pskov, who most likely used the stolen phone for calls home. At least three of them are no longer alive.
How we were lookingOn June 9, the Bucha Live telegram channel posted seven photos of the phone screen found by a resident of Buchi. In the message of the telegram channel it was indicated that the phone belongs to "our man, whom the orcs kept captive and tortured."
Through the admins of the telegram channel, we asked to transfer the phone to the owner that we would like to talk with him. On June 16, Ivan Skiba contacted the editors, who confirmed that the phone found on 138 Yabablonskaya Street (near the house 144, where the headquarters of the Russian military) belongs to him. He told how through social networks, in which he was shifted from the smartphone, contacted his daughter and reported on the find of the phone.
We studied three dozen outgoing calls from the Vodafone UA SIM card to Russian numbers. We checked each number according to open data: through various search engines and social networks, as well as through applications showing how the contact is recorded from different users. We verified the results through the bases of published leaks, allowing us to establish a place of work or service of people who fell into our field of view. At the last stage, we called the same Russian numbers that we called from the phone of Ivan Skiba, as well as the military personnel who visited the Buches himself to find out the details of the incident from them.
In some cases, we received a direct confirmation that this particular person called, in the part - this is the most plausible assumption that explains all the facts found.
Alexey Vishnevsky
Photo: Social networksOn March fourth at 16:41, an SMS message was sent from the phone of Ivan Skiba: “Kolyan, this is Lech. Alive well write to Alina ”( hereinafter we retain the features of speech. - Approx. Ed. ). The addressee of the message was Nikolai Olesov, sergeant, deputy platoon commander from Pskov (judging by how he was recorded in phones of other people). Apparently, Alina “Lech” himself did not get through.
Among the calls, we discovered Alina Vishnevskaya, a manicure master from Pskov. It is clear from her social networks that she is marriage with Lechi-26-year-old Alexei Vishnevsky. On the avatars in Alina’s profiles and in one of the profiles of Alexei, in which he calls himself Arkady Korneev, young people kiss.
The place of work of Vishnevsky is the 234th Airborne School Regiment (military unit 74 268). He serves Alexei since 2016, he visited the commander of the anti -tank gun, deputy platoon commander, scout.
On the phone, Alina Vishnevskaya told the correspondent of “important stories” that it is impossible to get through to Alexei now: “He has not yet returned.” He sometimes gets in touch, but there is no information when he can return home.

Ilya replies that "another year."
Judging by the profile in YouTube, Ilya likes to shoot GTA computer games, its channel has more than four thousand subscribers. A year ago, in the channel community, he wrote: “Tomorrow I will launch a stream through the phone of the MB guys in the army and you write to me to merge the assemblies)”. The last video was published on June 4, 2021. Judging by the comments, Ilya posted it during a two -week vacation. Five months ago, Ivan wrote again in the community: “Sometimes I want to return to shoot normal videos and not as before, but there is no way to sorry from the army that I abandoned the channel and failed everyone. I will return to YouTube after half a year with a new format. ”
Ilya’s mother answered the following correspondent in WhatsApp correspondent.
“It seems to me that only the lazy did not write about this buch)))
Already everyone figured it out
And depending on which version you are interested in, Zelensky came up with everything about this already what happened there
And if a person has a head on his shoulders and common sense, then whether they can believe in this horror about Russian soldiers, they are not even mocking the prisoners not to mention civilians)))
You would have figured out more than the throats on the road by our prisoners cuts and shoot them and convey this information to the Red Cross and how they are contained there by the Ukrofashists did not kill)))
So you would do a good job as a journalist "

In 2016, he was already the senior gunner of the 234th Airborne School Regiment with a salary of 25 thousand rubles.
Perhaps Radium had money with money: since 2019, he tried to sell an “unloading vest in good condition” for almost 11 months. Daria Radiy signed with his wife a year ago: in the photographs from his wife’s page in VKontakte, he poses in a blue suit and a red tie with the bride.
We called Daria Zaburina on the number, which is in the list of outgoing phone skirts. Daria decided to deny everything: “Nobody called, you are mistaken, they never called me from Ukraine,” my husband has never been a military man, he works “on a civilian”, he was a builder, he didn’t go to Ukraine, “always nearby”. After our call, Daria closed her page on VKontakte.

When Sasha’s corpse was brought home, the accompanying body said that the Russian military was driven, "like rabbits in forests"
The correspondent of “important stories” was phoned to his mother and aunt Alexander. They said that Sasha contacted them on March 7 and 31, said that he took the phone from a local resident in the store - he lost his phone "in his first battle, he drowned in him in the tank." “Yes, of course, he understood where he was sent,” says Aunt Sasha. “Sesapes, the video wrote to me:“ Mom, we will die! ” “These are the penultimate, its last messages were, but such correspondence began in early April,” mother shares. “You see, he had a foreboding.” Sasha said to his mother that “the Nazis lead civilians from settlements, hide behind them”: “I asked:“ Sasha, do you have a finger on the trigger to shoot? ”, He says:“ Yes ”.
Женщины вспоминают, что бригада Александра остановилась под Донецком, в селе Триполье. Оттуда они буквально не дошли два километра до своих, когда их атаковали. Обе женщины после гибели Саши ничего не хотят знать про войну в Украине, «по сей день» не смотрят телевизор: «Я похоронила сына — больше ничего не хочу ни видеть, ни слышать». Но сестры сходятся в позиции: «Стереть эту Украину гребаную с лица земли! Так же бомбу бы закинули, как закинули на наших пацанов». Они говорят, что Сашу и других пацанов кинули «как пушечное мясо на обстрел нацистам». С момента обучения Александра прошло меньше полугода: «они не умеют еще толком стрелять, воевать». Когда труп Саши привезли домой, сопровождавший тело рассказал, что российских военных гоняли, «как кроликов по лесам». «Можно было вместо них выпустить элитные войска, у нас же такое хорошее вооружение в России имеется! Транспорт весь ломаный у них стоял, они ждали-ждали пока им запчасти привезут, не дождались — пошли каким-то лесом…» На вопрос, к кому это претензия, мама Саши говорит: к президенту.
Дмитрий Антонников (погиб)
Фото: социальные сетиПолучив телефон взятого в плен украинца, Дмитрий Антонников позвонил своей жене, Валерии Максимовой. Мы выяснили, что Антонников был военнослужащим в/ч 74 268 с окладом 35 тысяч рублей на начало 2017 года.
Теперь на странице у его молодой жены Леры во «ВКонтакте» грустный пост в память о погибшем муже: «Ты ушёл из жизни, а из сердца — нет. Родной мой, я очень сильно люблю тебя». Дата публикации — 8 июня. В комментариях близкие поддерживают ее и пишут, что «Дима — герой!».
Валерии нам дозвониться не удалось.
4 марта, когда российские военные звонили домой с телефона Ивана Скибы, были расстреляны восемь жителей Бучи: Анатолий Приходько, Андрей Матвийчук, Андрей Вербовой, Денис Руденко, Андрей Дворников, Святослав Туровский, Валерий Котенко и Виталий Карпенко. Все они до войны были мирными жителями, с началом войны присоединились к добровольческим отрядам.

Мы не можем сказать, какую роль играли найденные нами псковские десантники во время оккупации Бучи. Иван Скиба, которому мы показали фотографии найденных нами солдат, затрудняется сказать, кто именно забирал у него телефон и пытал: военные были в балаклавах, к тому же он потерял очки. Напомним , что на улице Яблонской в Буче происходили самые зверские убийства.
Мы уже писали о присутствии псковских десантников на месте расстрела жителей Бучи. Тогда нам удалось идентифицировать одного из тех, кто занимался зачисткой поселка, Чингиза Атантаева, также служившего в одном из десантно-штурмовых полков Пскова.
«Важные истории» продолжают расследование и в ближайшее время расскажут о других российских военных, находившихся в Киевской области во время оккупации, и об их возможной причастности к военным преступлениям.
