The way russia treats Ukrainian prisoners, the head of the UN Monitoring Mission on Human Rights in Ukraine, Danielle Bell, called the “worst” she has seen in her 20-year career. Over 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war were tortured in the russian Federation. Bell told about this on the air of the Dutch TV channel NOS.

“They are tortured during the first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, they are severely electrocuted. They are stripped. It is horrible. It is the worst I have seen in my 20 years of visiting prisoners on behalf of the UN. Torture is very widespread and structural. 95% of Ukrainian prisoners of war have been tortured, and this is a war crime,” said the UN representative.

She noted that information about Ukrainian prisoners of war, when they do not have access to them, is collected during conversations after their return to Ukraine.
