Ukrainian authorities have located four alleged torture chambers in Kherson, a city controlled for months by the Russian Armed Forces, according to the Prosecutor’s Office, which has already begun collecting evidence about what happened in these enclaves.
In these rooms, distributed in four different buildings, have been located truncheons, electro-shock devices and bullets, among other objects that would give account of both physical and psychological abuses committed by Russian troops or militias related to Moscow.
The Prosecutor’s Office, which is gathering evidence as part of a wide-ranging investigation into alleged crimes committed in Ukraine since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February, explained on its Facebook account that evidence of at least one execution was also found in Kherson.
Last week, Ukrainian authorities had already denounced the discovery of another alleged torture chamber in Kherson, in line with accusations Kiev has exposed as it regained ground occupied by Moscow. UN investigators have accused Russian forces of systematically torturing prisoners of war.
