UN: Evidence of torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war

A United Nations investigative commission says it has collected further evidence that Russia is systematically and extensively torturing Ukrainian prisoners of war. Reports from victims reveal unrelenting brutality, commission chairman Erik Møse told reporters in Geneva.

Accordingly, the victims were inflicted severe pain and suffering in long-term detention "with blatant disregard for human dignity." In a report, the commission documented threats of rape and electric shocks to the genitals. Some Ukrainian prisoners in Russian custody are so hungry that they eat soap, worms and leftover dog food. Russia initially did not comment on the information. It has denied torturing or otherwise ill-treating prisoners of war.
