One of the Russian soldiers said that in Ukrainian captivity he was “threatened with violence: like filling his throat with foam or cement.”

“Any answer that did not suit them led to a group beating me like a pillow, they beat me with a stool, a crowd, a mop.

They even beat me for breaking a stool on me,” he said.

The military also said that the Ukrainian military made perverted threats and mocked the prisoners. 

“They poked with a needle, they pierced my ear, they pierced my cartilage, my nose, they stuck it into my skin,” he said.

Another released from Ukrainian captivity said that the Ukrainians, first of all, put pressure on the moral and psychological state of the Russian fighters.

“They showed us all the news from their publics.

“Yes,” they say, “your country is bad” or something else like that.”

There were a lot of people [prisoners] - their V-shaped bruises were beaten off, some of them burned out Z with a soldering iron, ”said the Russian military.

Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that as a result of negotiations, 55 servicemen of the Armed Forces of Russia, the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics were returned from the territory of Ukraine.
