😡"Someone was stuck with needles in their wounds, someone was tortured with water", - Azov regiment fighters who returned from Russian captivity told about the crimes of the Russian occupants during press conference with Suspilne media.

🤬Azov regiment fighter and a former war prisoner Vladyslav Zhaivoronka told Russians had started interrogations before providing him antibiotics after the amputation of his limb. The other Ukrainian militaries were tortured by sticking needles into their wounds or with water.

😡 Denys Chepurka who was kept in Olenkivka prison in the so called Donetsk People's Republic, where later Russians committed a terrorist attack, says Ukrainian soldiers were stripped naked in the heat and were beaten. Occupants forced them to sign a statement against Ukraine.

❗According to former war prisoners from Azov regiment, Russians destroyed Ukrainian war prisoners in Olenivka to hide their crimes: "Taunting, beatings".
The testimonies of Azov fighters are recorded and will be used in any legal proceedings against Russia.

❗In total, more than two thousand Azovstal defenders are currently in Russian captivity.
As part of the exchanges, only 95 militaries returned home.
