Reporter's Notebook: Ukrainian woman describes life under Russian captors as prisoner of war
Fox News
A Ukrainian teacher is one of some 15,000 civilians taken prisoner by Russian forces. Upon being moved to Russia, Victoria Andrusha was tortured and threatened by her captors.
"They inspected the house and began to ask who, where, and with whom (we) talked, and on the same day they took me away with the words ‘Take warm clothes, you are coming with us,'" she said through an interpreter.

It was part of a five-month hostage situation. Victoria was initially taken to a prison just north of her hometown in Chernihiv, where she remembered being treated decently by her captors. But a few days later, she was moved to a tent camp in Russia, where her captors assaulted and humiliated her.
