On March 24, 2022, the occupiers kidnapped children's writer Volodymyr Vakulenko from his house in Kapytolivka and brutally tortured him on the same day. He was killed because he loved Ukraine, spoke Ukrainian, had a strong Ukrainian position and refused to work with the "authorities" of the occupiers.
