More than 10 "torture rooms" found in reclaimed areas of northeast Ukraine, Zelensky says
Troops found so-called "torture rooms" and devices used by Russian forces in reclaimed portions of the northeastern Kharkiv region, Ukraine's President Volodymr Zelensky claimed in his nightly address Saturday.
"More than ten torture rooms have already been found in the liberated areas of Kharkiv region -- in various cities and towns," Zelensky said. "As the occupiers fled, they also dropped the torture devices."
"Even at the regular Kozacha Lopan railway station, they found a room for torture, found tools for electric torture," he added.
Earlier on Saturday, the Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office made similar claims.
"The Russian army tortured people in the cellar of the so-called 'people's militia' in the town of Kozacha Lopan when it was under siege," Kharkiv Regional Prosecutor's Office stated in a social media post.
