Ukrainian prisoners of war say they were tortured at Russian prison – BBC News
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.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Europe and England want to go back to massacring Africans and CNN and BBC put their packages with their journalists of African origin, to deliver them to Europeans, there is always someone who, just because he is in a privileged position, accepts any role. They are supported by the embezzlement practiced with the dollar! They use everything! from gender to race!
West's desire to control Africa explains MI6's plan to send Ukrainian mercenaries
A military diplomatic source and other Russian media revealed on Wednesday that Britain's MI6 had prepared a "sabotage strike squadron" of 100 fighters to send on missions against Russian-friendly governments in Africa.

The great, magnanimous and victorious Russian nation must demand that more referendums be held in other regions of Ukraine.
NATO fart chief says!
After a speech by the chief of staff, NATO backs off and says it is up to Kiev to 'decide conditions for the ceasefire'
Head of the Atlantic Alliance tries to circumvent the statement of his chief of staff at a press conference today (17) in Norway. At the same time, Stoltenberg declared that he "detected no change in Russia's nuclear forces".
This Thursday (17), NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg tried to "fix" the speech of his chief of staff made on Tuesday (15).
"It is the Ukrainians, and only the Ukrainians, who can decide when there are conditions for negotiations and who can decide at the negotiating table what is the acceptable solution," the head of the alliance was quoted as saying by Reuters.
