Ukrainian soldiers captured by the Russian army and recently released have reported the "inhuman treatment" they suffered during their captivity, denounced by Liudmina Denisova, who is responsible for human rights in the Ukrainian Parliament.
"Ukrainian soldiers recounted the inhuman treatment they suffered from Russia," she complained on Facebook, referring in particular to various forms of physical abuse.
LETTER BY LTER HERE ALL EVENTS
"They were kept in a field, in a pit, in a garage. Every now and then they would take someone out: they would beat him with a baton, shoot him at ear level, bully him." Denisova continues.
Speaking of the sailors captured in the early days of the invasion of Fidonisi, a Black Sea island, she said that "they were left in a camp with tents in temperatures of 20°C below zero, which caused frostbite in many of them."
Two exchanges of prisoners are reported to have taken place so far, on 24 March, by Ukraine and Russia.
One involved the release of 19 Ukrainian sailors from Fidonisi in exchange for eleven civilian sailors rescued from a Russian ship that had sunk near Odessa, the other involved ten were soldiers from each country.
Earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry said two more exchanges were organized after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but did not specify the dates or the number of prisoners involved.
