AP: Thousands of Ukrainian civilians endure torture and abuse in prisons across Russia and occupied territory:

Thousands of Ukrainian civilians are detained in a network of formal and informal prisons across Russia and the territories it occupies, where they endure psychological abuse, torture, and even slave labor, according to a recent investigation by the Associated Press. [...]

more than 4,000 Ukrainian civilians are reportedly being held in Russia, many without charges. Ukraine's government, however, believes around 10,000 civilians could be detained.

[...] Examples of torture endured by former detainees included including "repeated electrical shocks, beatings that crack skulls and fracture ribs, and simulated suffocation."

Some Russian-held civilians are used for slave labor in digging trenches for Russian soldiers and mass graves.

Furthermore, [...] Russia is planning to build 25 new prison colonies and six new detention centers in occupied Ukraine by 2026. [...]

Ich wünschte, ich könnte sagen, ich sei überrascht, aber das ist genau das was man mittlerweile von Russland erwartet. Dass sie Gefängnisse bauen ist ein Hinweis, dass sie wohl davon ausgehen, die Gebietsgewinne im Süden halten zu können.
