"It was very difficult": a Ukrainian woman released from Russian captivity told about the horror experienced

According to her, about 27 women were forced to live in the same room, which was intended for only 6 people. The invaders almost did not feed the prisoners, which made many women unconscious during a 15-minute daily exercise. "Some of us faints because we lacked food . . . The level of sugar and glucose fell because there was not enough food," she said. According to Panina, the only salvation was that the abductors allowed women to bake bread from flour.

Sometimes the invaders were forced to drink unusable water. However, there were also those who were sympathetic to the prisoners. "There were those who treated us humanly, they understood us and sympathized with us. I cannot say that everyone was bad and cruelly treated us. It depended on a person," she said. Her former commander Valery Paditel, a colonel of border troops in Donetsk region, also complained about famine and ill -treatment for four months spent in Russian captivity.

In September, he was released as a result of the exchange of prisoners. "We were only given 30 seconds to eat. You could not matter, it didn't matter, it was your problem," he said. According to Valery, the invaders believed that the prisoners may want to go to their side after detention. However, none of those whom he knows dreamed of it. The publication states that Russia denies the ill -treatment of prisoners of war.
