They know the torture is happening, they think it's reprisal, not that bad, perhaps even good
"Bet you can't prove it" is frequently said by people who appear to 180⁰ on the issue instantly, it's gaslighting behavior
They downvoted reports on Ukrainian conscripts being tortured by their superiors, as well as Ukrainian teachers being dumped into a pit by Zhorin. All on their own telegrams. They know
Worlders get scared when they see non-western sources like Sputnik or RT 😆
lmfao you nerds love your shitty heavily biased media fact check site. Nobody takes you seriously except the most NATO brained westerners. The source is literally a UN report....
The article does not specify which publication it refers to, but this is the only recently published report https://www.ohchr.org/en/publications/annual-report/ohchr-report-2024
During the year, a central priority of the HRMMU’s work was monitoring and reporting on the treatment of POWs. This led to conclusions that the Russian authorities inflicted torture in a widespread and systematic manner against almost all Ukrainian POWs and that many Russian POWs were subjected to torture or ill-treatment in the initial stages of their captivity. Findings and tailored recommendations fed into advocacy documents for high-level meetings with Member States, in June. In Ukraine, the HRMMU’s advocacy supported the launch of a criminal investigation by the Office of the Prosecutor General (OPG) regarding the use of torture at a transit facility for Russian POWs. The HRMMU is unaware if its reporting resulted in similar investigations in the Russian Federation. Its monitoring and advocacy also resulted in Ukrainian authorities improving the treatment and internment conditions of Russian POWs
Ukrainian soldiers have executed at least 26 Russian military personnel, either taken prisoner or wounded on the battlefield since February 2022, according to a report by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
