Russian soldiers who stole from residents of occupied territories in Kyiv Oblast at the start of the full-scale invasion stooped as low as stealing children’s spoons, a researcher at the Yavornytskyi Dnipro National Historical Museum reported on Facebook on March 30.

Yuriy Fanyhin posted a photo with two personalized spoons of Ukrainian children that were found in a Russian dugout.

As it turned out, they were stolen from residents of the Bucha district, who were eventually found thanks to publicity on social media.

"The spoons have found their owners!" said Fanyhin.

“Today they were handed over to grandmother Lyudmyla, who had gifted them in the first place. The children and their mother are alive (currently abroad). In 2022, the family found themselves in the battle zone near Bucha, then under occupation, but they miraculously survived. All their belongings were looted and destroyed. But the spoons were returned. Miracles are a recurring theme in this story!”
