The deputy head of the National Police Maksym Tsutskiridze said in an interview that so far the police have discovered 57 Russian torture rooms in the liberated territories.
The police also know about 31 torture chambers in the temporarily occupied territories.
‘As for torture chambers, 88 places of imprisonment have been recorded in the criminal proceedings,’ he said.
The police are documenting all facts of Russian war crimes and are establishing persons involved in them.
The deputy head also stated that it is now impossible to give the exact number of Ukrainians who have suffered Russian torture.
‘We are talking about 6,800 our missing citizens. These are Ukrainian civilians who may be in prisons of the Russian Federation or in other territories. It is possible that the occupiers took civilians for further use in exchange, perhaps as a live shield to cover themselves when retreating,’ he said.
Rinat Akhmetov’s Metinvest Group has completed the construction of an upgraded underground NATO Role 2 hospital in one of the hottest sectors of the frontline. This is the second stabilization point established under the Steel Front initiative in cooperation with the Medical Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The new facility, funded by Metinvest with an investment of UAH 21 million, is more secure than the first one thanks to its deeper location underground (over 6 meters) and additional fortifications.
Five armored vehicles “Kozak” have received a new mission – thanks to the support of Metinvest, they have been upgraded to full-fledged command and staff vehicles. These upgraded vehicles are now operating on the front line.
A kamikaze drone flies directly toward an armored personnel carrier. But instead of penetrating the hull, it explodes on a steel screen. The crew survives. This is the new reality for Ukrainian forces, who have received enhanced protection thanks to the Metinvest project within “Steel Front of Rinat Akhmetov”.
To commemorate the third anniversary of the full-scale invasion, “Bukvy” has compiled data on the largest donors supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among them there are charitable foundations and businesses. The list includes, in particular, foundations that provide assistance exclusively from their own resources, without fundraising (such as SCM by Rinat Akhmetov, Epicenter, etc.).
In just 1.5 months, Ukrainian specialists have created an innovative protective shell for the control modules of anti-aircraft missile systems (AMS) Patriot and Iris-T SLM. This development was another step in strengthening Ukraine’s defense capabilities, aimed at protecting key elements of the air defense system from debris damage.
