Ukraine announces discovery of torture camps in Kharkiv

Date:

Ukrainian police have assured that they have found up to 25 facilities used to torture prisoners by Russian forces in the Kharkov region, recently recovered by Ukraine. In these detention camps, civilians held in inhumane conditions were tortured, as the area police chief Volodimir Timoshko explained. Some prisoners were subjected to electric shocks and others had their fingers broken, he said.

The Kharkiv region has been under the control of Russian forces from the beginning of the invasion in February until early September, when Ukrainian forces forced their withdrawal in a counter-offensive. Since then, 920 civilian bodies have been located, including those of 25 children, according to Timoshko, who has assured that they were killed by Russian soldiers.

The Ukrainian investigation suggests that Russian forces also committed war crimes in other occupied territories, such as Bucha, on the outskirts of Kiev, where more than 400 bodies were found, most of them with violent deaths.
