On October 27, around 7:00 p.m., the police received a report that an 81-year-old resident of the city of Chervonograd got lost in the forest. According to his wife, the man went to the forest to collect mushrooms and could not find his way home. At first, he called the woman from a mobile phone, but then the connection was lost – then she turned to the police for help.
