Zelensky says ‘torture chambers’ where civilians were abused found in Kharkiv region
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said on Friday that Ukraine has found “torture chambers” where civilians were abused in areas of the Kharkiv region recently liberated from Russian occupation.
Zelensky said in an address that officials found premises where civilians were kept, including seven citizens of the Republic of Sri Lanka who were students at the Kupyansk Medical College. The group of Sri Lankan citizens are now receiving medical care, Zelensky added.
This comes on the heels of Zelensky’s announcement on Thursday that Ukraine had found another mass burial site near Izyum, with more than 440 graves. Zelensky noted on Friday that there was evidence that Russian soldiers “shot at the buried just for fun.”
“Russia has repeated in Izium what it did in Bucha,” Zelensky said. “And now we have just begun to learn the full truth about what was happening in Kharkiv region at that time.”

As Ukraine liberates Russian-occupied territory, expect more and more atrocities to be revealed. Russia had recruited its armed forces from prisons — offering hardened criminals release in exchange for serving in Ukraine. These prisoners are rapists, murderers and thieves. who think nothing of applying their skills to soldiers and civilians alike. This will be catastrophic and I hope the perpetrators are punished.
