During the occupation of the village, the Russians organized the so-called “police”. In the building where she was based, they set up a torture chamber in the basement. 6:00 a.m. The Russian army began to actively use Iranian “kamikaze” drones of the Shahed-136 type at the front. These drones destroyed two 152mm self-propelled howitzers, two 122mm self-propelled howitzers and two armored personnel carriers, the WSJ reports. Zelensky accused Russian “fascists” of torture in the Kharkiv region “Torture was a widespread practice in this occupied territory,” the president said, calling the Russian occupiers who fled the Ukrainian counter-offensive a week ago “fascists” and comparing their behavior to Nazis. Just like the Nazis, the Russians will be held accountable for their crimes in court, Zelenskyy said. “We will find out the identity of all those who tortured and tortured people; who brought these atrocities from Russia here to Ukrainian territory,” he added. Zelenskyy further said that the Russian aggressors left behind torture devices when they fled. Ukrainian authorities have released photos of these facilities and locations where they say the torture took place. Evidence of torture was also found among the bodies discovered in one of the mass graves near the city of Izium, Zelenskyy said, adding that the exhumation of the dead continued on Saturday. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights announced on Friday that it intends to send a monitoring team to Izium to verify claims by Ukrainian authorities that mass graves were found after Russian troops were pushed out of the area.
