"The house in Pisky-Radkivski is already the 22nd torture chamber that we installed and inspected in the de-occupied territory of the Kharkiv region. In almost all cities and large settlements where military units of the Russian army were based, places of detention of civilians and prisoners of war were set up. The most common methods of torture were: passing an electric current, severe beating with sticks and other objects, there are facts of tearing off nails and other terrible tortures, including the use of gas masks for suffocation," he said.

  • After the Ukrainian Armed Forces de-occupied almost the entire Kharkiv region, torture chambers set up by the Russian occupiers were found in populated areas. They were at least in the village of Pisky-Radkivski, in the village of Lypka, in Kupʼyansk, in Kozacha Lopan and in Balaklia.
