A TEENAGER whose mum was abducted by Vladimir Putin’s butchers in Mariupol fears he may never see her again after four years of silence.
Sashko Radchuk, 15, and his family fell into the clutches of Russian troops during the bloody siege of the key Ukrainian city in March 2022.
But while the youngster was rescued by his grandmother, his terrified mum was interrogated by Putin‘s soldiers and has been missing since.
Brave Sashko told The Sun: “The last time I saw her was in a filtration camp. And since then there has been no information about her.”
Just days into Putin’s meatgrinder war, the tyrant’s ruthless soldiers stormed Mariupol and unleashed a hellish campaign of attacks.
Largely reduced to rubble, the city was shattered by relentless bombardments of mortars and missiles – forcing many of its 400,000 population to flee.
