The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) has collected evidence against four Russian accomplices who tortured Ukrainian POWs in the temporarily occupied territory of Luhansk Oblast
Source: SSU; Prosecutor General's Office; Ukrainska Pravda's sources in law enforcement
Details: The case file shows that the suspects are former employees of a penal colony in Sukhodilsk who collaborated with Russia after the seizure of the settlement
They later became part of the "administration" of the Russian prison
Head of the repressive institution's so-called operational department
and his three subordinate "inspectors": Leonid Rudenko
The investigation established that the Russian soldiers had set up a torture chamber in the seized facility
where they took Ukrainian soldiers captured during the fighting in eastern Ukraine
The suspects beat the prisoners with rubber truncheons and tortured them with electric shocks
the leaders of the Russian prison hoped to persuade the prisoners of war to cooperate with the Russians
Ukrainian law enforcement officers notified Ukrainian nationals Kyrylo Dolhopolov
Mykola Tsvietkov and Roman Zankov in absentia of suspicion of war crimes based on the evidence collected
The SSU adds that comprehensive measures are being taken to find and punish the war criminals
as the criminals are located in the temporarily occupied part of Luhansk Oblast
