Russian soldiers reveal torture and ill-treatment in their own camp. Russian-language independent news portal Virstka has been collecting reports from Russian officers stationed near the hotly contested Kherson region.
According to this, verbal harassment, but also violence and sexual abuse, have increased significantly since the beginning of the war. “The shelling of our positions is still continuous. During this time our [former; Note d. Red.] Prisoners completely lost their heads,” a soldier reported to the news portal.
