KHERSON, Ukraine - Ms Oksana Minenko, a 44-year-old accountant who lives in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, said she was repeatedly detained and tortured by occupying Russian forces.
Prisoners were also held in overcrowded cells without sanitation or sufficient food or water for periods of up to two months, some of the people said. According to the most comprehensive figures to date on the scale of alleged torture and detentions, shared exclusively with Reuters by Ukraine’s top war crimes prosecutor, the country’s authorities have opened pre-trial investigations involving
Around 200 people who were allegedly tortured or physically assaulted while held at those sites and about another 400 people were illegally held there, he said. During several interrogations in the spring, Russian forces submerged Oksana Minenko’s hands in boiling water and pulled out her fingernails. PHOTO: REUTERS
“When you have a bag on your head and you’re being beaten, there is such a vacuum, you cannot breathe, you cannot do anything, you cannot defend yourself,” Ms Minenko said.Moscow’s February invasion of Ukraine plunged Europe into its biggest land war since World War Two. Mr Belousov added that hundreds of bodies of civilians had been found in other areas that Russian forces had withdrawn from.
The numbers that are emerging on the scale of alleged detentions and torture, “point to widespread and grave criminality in Russian-occupied territory”, said British lawyer Nigel Povoas, lead prosecutor with a Western-backed team of legal specialists assisting Kyiv’s efforts to prosecute war crimes. Mr Andriy told Reuters he knew people who served in the Ukrainian military and territorial defence forces, but wasn’t a member himself.
Ms Liudmyla Shumkova, 47, said she and her 53-year old sister were held captive at the site, on No. 3 Energy Workers’ Street, for most of the more than fifty days they spent in detention this summer.
