    “Almost every single one of the Ukrainian POWs we interviewed described how Russian servicepersons or officials tortured them during their captivity, using repeated beatings, electric shocks, threats of execution, prolonged stress positions and mock execution. Over half of them were subjected to sexual violence,” said Danielle Bell, the head of HRMMU.

    And these are the accounts from the prisoners that were released.

      I’m not denying Russian atrocities full stop I’m just wary of these kinds of very specific and evocative claims. It’s “beheaded babies” level for me.

          Lol I don’t need the UN to tell me about Israel. At least Russia has had reasonable moments in its history

            Not an Israeli but according to some of our neighbors, we (Russia) haven’t had any reasonable moments either, at least not lasting more than a few months. Pic related
