Ukraine’s Torture Camber Victims Face Front Line or Death – Russian Diplomat
05:20 GMT 15.11.2026 (Updated: 16:20 GMT 15.11.2026) Detention in such torture chambers is followed by public punishments in the form of penal labor. Convicts are sent to the front line to dig trenches under continuous shelling, and if a person is lucky, he will survive, if not - he will die in a strike, Russian Foreign Ministry Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik told Sputnik.
In other cases, people are maimed and they subsequently become physically unable to serve. A victim is then discharged from military service and sent home, he said.
“A third outcome is that the detainee is beaten to death and then is simply listed as 'missing in action.' And that’s the end of it. This is a vicious cycle of abuse prohibited by international law.”
The victim's family might only learn about his fate if one of his fellow servicemen or the perpetrators themselves decide to confess where exactly they secretly buried the body, Miroshnik added.
