- Russians in Berdyansk killed a teenager. Before dying, he eliminated two occupants


The occupiers in Berdyansk killed a teenager who had been held captive for almost a year.
A video, recorded by Tigran himself, has appeared on social media. It shows him with a submachine gun and wearing tactical gloves.
In the video he says: All is death, guys. Goodbye! Hail to Ukraine!
In social networks it is signed as a video of a guy who, together with a friend, stabbed a local policeman and shot the occupant. Whether Nikita Khanganov was with him is not known.
The occupiers report that two were killed, but mention only Tigran Hovhannesian's name.

Tigran Oganesyan was kidnapped back in September 2022. He, along with another teenager, Nikita Khanganov, were accused of terrorism by the occupiers.
In May, the European Parliament demanded that the Russian authorities drop all charges and immediately release the boys.
On September 30 2022, 16-year-old Tigran Ohanesyan was kidnapped by Russian soldiers from his home. The boy was brutally interrogated for 5 days by "investigation bodies" - the child was beaten and tortured with electric shocks.
The teenager was demanded to confess to preparations for sabotage of the Melitopol railway, which allegedly was to prevent units of Russian forces from receiving supplies.
Tigran's classmate Nikita Khanganov was also suspected of this, and he miraculously managed to avoid arrest.
On May 24 this year, the minors were charged by the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. The children faced up to 20 years behind bars. Both minors were not allowed to leave the occupied territory and were required to report to investigators on a daily basis.
