Ukrainian POWs Face Systematic Torture | UK News

from UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A Ukrainian POW of Cuban descent reveals unimaginable suffering—1,183 days of torture, beatings, electric shocks, and sexual abuse—in Russian custody, with two friends killed by violence and others dying from starvation and disease. He was falsely accused of being a spy because of his name. UN reports confirm this is systemic: 95% of Ukrainian POWs say they were tortured or mistreated, half endured sexual violence. Since February 2022, 129 Ukrainian prisoners have been executed upon capture, and 48 died in custody from torture or neglect. Russia denies the claims, calling them disinformation—but the UN’s findings paint a horrifying truth, while noting Russian detainees in Ukraine face far less brutality.
