After the Russian withdrawal from Harson, the horrors continue to be revealed:
the Ukrainian authorities discovered for the first time a detention cell for children with findings that indicate that Vladimir Putin's soldiers carried out torture there and used methods of psychological pressure on the detainees.
"For the first time, we documented the torture cell for the children," said last night (Wednesday) the Ukrainian Ombudsman Dmitri Lubinz, while adding that the local ombudsman's office discovered a separate cell where minors were also held.
His soldiers committed atrocities.

"According to the testimonies of the people who were held there, there were Ukrainian children in that room. The invaders themselves called it a 'children's cell,'" the official clarified while the authorities described the place as a dank room and without proper detention conditions.
According to Lubinz's words, one of the methods allegedly used by the Russian soldiers against the minors was deliberate thirst and hunger.
The findings show that the children were not provided with food and were given to drink once every two days, in addition to psychological pressure in the form of statements about abandonment by the parents.

As mentioned, about a month ago, the Russian army withdrew from Harson in another blow to Putin's war effort since he ordered his forces to invade Ukraine last February 24.
Since then, according to the Ukrainian authorities, 11 torture facilities have been found in the area and four of them in the city itself, as well as 63 bodies.
Mass graves, incessant bombings, rape of women and executions of civilians are just some of the acts that Ukrainians accuse the Russian army of.
