A Ukrainian conductor who vehemently opposed the Russian occupation of his hometown was killed by Russian forces who shot him on his doorstep at point-blank vary, in line with a brand new report.
Yuri Kerpatenko, who headed up the Philharmonic Theater within the southern metropolis of Kherson, had repeatedly refused to work on the live performance venue after the Russians marched into the town in March, in line with the Sunday Instances of London.
As an alternative, Kerpatenko, 46, continued to blast the Russian invasion on social media.
“He mentioned they'd come and tried to recruit him’,” Anatoly, the chief technician of the theater, informed the Sunday Instances of London this week. “He has a very popular mood, he’s emotional, very emotional. If he’d mentioned ‘no’ one time, he wouldn’t repeat it for a second time.”
Russian occupying forces even held a party for him on the theater on Sept. 9 however Kerpatenko continued to refuse to conduct live shows beneath their rule, in line with the newspaper.
Three weeks later, on Sept. 28, sooner or later after the Russians held a sham referendum to legitimize their occupation, Russian troopers climbed the three flights of stairs to the conductor’s condo and shot him useless on his doorstep with six bullets, in line with the newspaper.
Neighbors reported seeing Kerpatenko cradling an assault rifle in his fingers as he lay in a pool of blood. They informed the newspaper they believed that Russian troopers planted the weapon to make him appear like an aggressor.
