One Ukrainian soldier captured during Russia’s invasion says “everyone was beaten” and that prisoners were given just a spoonful of oatmeal and a few tablespoons of water a day.

ODESA, Ukraine — Torture, beatings and neglect: Ukrainian service members captured during Russia’s invasion may be lucky to be back home alive, but their physical and emotional scars could plague them for years.

After they were captured, he said, “food was tight” and the prisoners of war were provided with just a spoonful of oatmeal and just a few tablespoons of water a day. The Russians “explained this by the fact that they also lacked provisions,” he said at the Forest Valley rehabilitation center on the outskirts of Kyiv.

“They wanted to know about the type of weapons they had, specifically U.S. Stinger and Javelin missiles,” he said. “But we didn’t have that.” He said one of his fellow prisoners told him “that they beat him on the kidneys, they beat him on the face, everywhere they could for an hour.” Ukrainian marine Hlib Stryzhko, 25, said he was transferred to Russia after he was seriously injured by tank shelling on April 10.Stryzhko said he was taunted, denied medical care and given just enough food to keep him alive at the Russian medical facility.

Well he looks healthy to me

Abu Grave is their guide. That President was not impeached.

Miguel_L71 “My ward neighbors had shrapnel in their bodies. Russians even didn’t pull them out — they were just rebandaging their wounds and their limbs continued to rot,” one Ukrainian marine said.”

He looks pretty fine to me and oh the Russian released him? Thought the Russians killed everyone on the spot?

Did anyone expect any other behavior from the russians?

aliarouzi He is alive and released while the Ukrainians torture, shit stab and burn the Russians prisoners as soon as they are captured

Splintered Ukrainian City Braces for New Battle With RussiaThe eastern Ukrainian city of Slovyansk was occupied by pro-Russian separatists for months in 2014. I have a video that I recorded of a shootout at Congress and Dearborn tonight. Haven't sold it yet, will sell it if of interest. nor should they be given by America. most Americans can hardly point out Ukraine on a map, much less understand the situation. So, does that mean dementia Joe will send them $40 billion more US tax dollars? Sadly, democrats care much more about Ukraine’s border than our own🤔
