LUGANSK (Sputnik) - The Ukrainian armed forces are threatening to conduct medical experiments on the Russian prisoner of war, Igor Shchegolevaty, for whom they are demanding a ransom from his family, according to an audio recording obtained by Sputnik on Wednesday.
The prisoner's stepbrother, Alexander Serikov, told Sputnik on Tuesday that Ukrainian armed forces were demanding a ransom of 1 million rubles ($10,200) from the family of a captured Russian soldier, threatening to kill him.
"He is now in a field barracks where a very large number of angry Ukrainians want to do all kinds of medical and human experiments on him, and then most of those in the same position will throw him out somewhere on the edge of the forest," a woman representing the Ukrainian side said on the recording, demanding money.
