UN reports over 95% of Ukrainian #POWs were tortured in #Russia

#Ukrainian prisoners of war are #tortured from the very first interrogation. They are beaten with metal rods and sticks, stripped naked and severely electrocuted. This is horrible. This is undoubtedly the worst thing I’ve seen in 20 years of my career while visiting the POWs on behalf of the UN

This happened to more than 95% of Ukrainian POWs. These are #WarCrimes
