What this Ukrainian soldier happened in Russian imprisonment, shows the cruelty of the regime under Kremlin Chief Vladimir Putin: apparently the conditional release for Russia “was held on his stomach by a Russian surgeon – because the soldier was helpless at the operating table.
The soldier returned to his home country in the course of a prison exchange. On his body he wears an unwanted souvenir of his time in Russian imprisonment. A letters were cut into his skin.
KYIV confirms the authenticity of the photo
“Unfortunately it is a real photo,” said Andrij Jussow, deputy head of the coordination center for prisoners of war. “During an investigation in one of the soldiers’ regional rehabilitation centers, the doctor simply couldn’t stand it, took a photo and published it online. This is proof of what our defenders do in captivity,” said the civil servant.
“Kyiv Post” published photos of another soldier – before and after three years in Russian imprisonment on Facebook:
Soldiers are undertaken of captivity
Jussow added that many Ukrainian soldiers in captivity are insufficiently cared for with food or medically supplied – many of the prisoners would suffer from critical weight loss. “This is visually very clear and there is a difference between the state in which the occupiers return to Russia and the state in which the Ukrainian defenders return,” he said.
As the Ukrainian news platform “Antikor” reported, the surgeon, who operated on the soldiers, would have immortalized himself with the mocking inscription in the body of his patient. When the soldier woke up, he saw the letters. According to the report, Ukrainian doctors are supposed to remove the grazed scar. They have already started treatment to wipe out the terrible memory of the experiences in captivity.
