The money he was earning at the checkpoint was the only source of assistance to the young man’s elderly mother over the past year, KHPG reports.
"At about noon on Thursday, August 31, Mykola passed the checkpoint from the Ukrainian side, and then armed men stopped him at their control line and started questioning him about something. There are witnesses who saw that happening. Then the armed militants took Mykola away. Since then, any contact with him has been lost, and nothing has been heard of him,"KHPG reports.
