Serhiy Ofitserov was arrested at his father's apartment in Kherson on August 3 by four men (one armed, three in civilian clothes). They knew his name and the layout of the apartment, indicating prior surveillance. The arrest took about 10 minutes.
On Aug 3, 2022 the connection was cut off: in the morning of that day, the occupiers took Oleksandr away. He went out into the yard to do some chores - he came out in the same clothes he had slept in. And our house was, you could say, already surrounded.
