Details: The SBU [Security Service of Ukraine - ed.] has evidence of the use of torture against Ukrainian men and women in the occupied territory of Ukraine and in the Russian Federation.

The special service gives an example of a telephone conversation between a Russian occupier in Ukraine and his friend, an employee of the Russian special services.

"Two were caught. Younger than us ... We start stabbing them - no dice. We took one into the forest, we interrogate the second one. He was shot, well, pretty much killed. He said f**king nothing! We put his leg under the wheel of a car, drove over it - he said f**king nothing!" - the occupant tells his "experience", marvelling at the Ukrainians’ strength of spirit.

His interlocutor replies that she also "can tell a lot, but cannot."

She calls the torture of the Ukrainian military in the Russian Federation a "reception", after which "the guys are sent on sick leave."

"Your guy comes to us periodically for the first interrogation. He says: ‘No mercy! They came to kill.’ Women come. I conducted the first interrogation, broke my nails. And so then the guys are sent on sick leave after the interrogation with broken legs, arms ... Well, it's fun, it's fun there. There are stories to tell," the special service worker admits.

The Security Service of Ukraine recalls that war criminals from Russia will be held accountable at an international tribunal.
