Ukrainian prisoners of war have said they were subjected to torture, including frequent beatings and electric shocks, while held in Russia, a BBC investigation has heard.
A dozen former captives described extreme violence and ill-treatment, apparent violations of international humanitarian law. Many of them surrendered in the city of Mariupol last year.
They were taken to a detention facility in the southern Russian city of Taganrog – before being released in exchanges.
Russia’s defence ministry did not respond to several requests to comment on the allegations. It has previously denied torturing or mistreating captives.
