Ukraine Soldier that died in Russia Captivity out of starvation and torture

His wife:

"When we arrived in Kyiv on January 25 to identify the body, I was shocked by what I saw. It was a very horrifying sight. What struck me the most was how emaciated the body was. The pathologist said it weighed less than fifty kilograms. Sasha was tall — 180 cm. Before captivity, he weighed 110 kg and was physically healthy. What was left of him was just skin and bones. His head was completely bruised, his nose was crooked, and his index fingers had no nails. Whether they were torn out or broken off, I don't know. There were signs of torture all over his body.His cellmates later told me how they were abused. They were beaten every day, either in the cell or taken outside. They were beaten very harshly, especially my husband. Because he was tall, well-built, and refused to speak Russian."
