Roman Kuziomka
Date of abduction: March 4, 2022.
Place of abduction: Dymer village, Kyiv region.
Roman Kuziomka lived in the Rivne region but worked at a woodworking sawmill in Dymer, Kyiv region. It was there that he met the full-scale Russian invasion. Talking on the phone with his wife Lesia, the man said that he had seen the Russian and Belarusian invaders, and in the evening of March 4, the connection with Roman was cut off. Only two months later, the volunteer, who was released from Russian captivity, reported that he and Kuziomka were in Bryansk SIZO #2, where the invaders hardly fed them. From there, Roman wrote his wife a letter saying he was alive and well. In January 2024, the exchanged prisoner of war said that he had heard Kuziomka’s name during a roll call in one of the detention centers in the Vladimir region of the Russian Federation. However, details about Roman’s illegal detention and health are still unknown.
