    It’s not surprising of course. They had Russians laughing about raping Ukrainian women and their partners telling them it’s fine as long as they wear a condom.

    > He reported "Widespread and systematic" torture of Ukrainian POWs by Russian forces, based on documented accounts from 174 Ukrainian POWs, nearly all of whom described consistent experiences of torture during captivity.

    > "Instances of torture are taking place on a daily or weekly basis. Minimum safeguards which are meant to help prevent torture – such as allowing prisoners to communicate with the outside world, access by independent monitors, or routine medical exams – have been absent or ineffective," he said.

    > Mr. Türk further reported that some Russian POWs held by Ukrainian authorities also reported instances of torture and sexual violence, mainly during the initial stages of captivity.

    They torture those who they don’t kill directly on site after they surrendered.

    Stay classy, russia.
