Ukraine's top prosecutor speaks of 'evil' Russian atrocities
Fox News
Ukraine’s top prosecutor described for U.S. lawmakers examples of war atrocities that he says are deliberately orchestrated by Russian forces to spread terror among civilians.
Focusing on just one area of the country that has felt the brunt of the war, Kostin described some of the discoveries made when the Ukrainian military liberated Kherson last November. He said some 20 torture chambers were found and more than 1,000 survivors have reported an array of abuses, including the use of electric shocks, waterboarding, being forced to strip naked, and threats of mutilation and death.
Kostin said more than 60 cases of rape were documented in the Kherson region alone. In areas still controlled by Russian forces, residents, including children, are being forcefully relocated to other occupied territories or to Russia.
"Such evil cannot let be," Kostin said.
