Putin’s troops castrate Ukrainian POWs with knives as two survivors reveal their experience

Vladimir Putin’s crazed troops castrate Ukrainian prisoners of war with pocket knives in Russian torture camps.

Two survivors, aged 25 and 28, who had been Russian prisoners for one and three months, revealed that their horrific experience was worse than hell.

The two Ukrainian soldiers were returned to Ukraine in a prisoner exchange and then referred to psychologist Anzhelika Yatsenko, 41, who helps young men who have faced severe hardship.

Based on her past experiences, she knew it was likely that they had both been tortured for being suicidal and the younger soldier had attempted suicide.

The men couldn’t tell her what had happened for a month, but told her, “If there’s hell anywhere, it’s worse than that.”

When she found out what their evil captors had done, she went to the bathroom and “cried and cried” – because it was the most horrible thing she had ever heard.

After beating the two Ukrainian soldiers to within an inch of their lives, drunken Russian troops castrated them with a knife, The Sunday times reports.

One of the victims said they didn’t know how they were still alive because there was “so much blood.”

And the ailing Russians doubled down on the humiliation by telling them they were doing it so they couldn’t have children, which Ms. Yatensko described as “genocide.”

The older of the two men has returned to work in the Ukrainian army.

The Russian military used a number of inhumane and disgusting tactics during the war with Ukraine.

Russia also reportedly uses electric shocks, masks and mock executions on Ukrainian civilians and prisoners of war, UN experts warned this week.

A group of UN experts said on Thursday they had written to Moscow to express concern over the use of torture by Russian forces in their attacks on Ukraine.

They said in a statement that the torture included electric shocks, hijackings and mock executions and was carried out to obtain intelligence, extract confessions or in response to alleged support for the Ukrainian armed forces.

It had resulted in damage to internal organs, broken bones and fractures, strokes and psychological trauma, they said.

In April, a Russian soldier admitted to executing Ukrainian prisoners of war by slitting their throats during a phone call, the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) said.

In the intercepted telephone conversation, the soldier, identified by the SBU as Yevgeny Suchko, who was deployed to Ukraine in 2022, can be heard describing in detail how he slit Ukrainians’ throats.

The 28-year-old soldier says in the intercepted conversation that there is ‘no point’ in holding prisoners of war and that they ‘must be taken away’.

The SBU said it is working to bring “every war criminal from Russia” to justice and ensure they receive a “well-deserved” sentence.

Moscow has previously denied torturing or ill-treating POWs and says it does not deliberately target civilians in Ukraine (pictured, Putin on April 27).

While allegations of torture have previously been leveled against both sides in the 15-month conflict, the team of independent UN experts said the Russian forces’ methods may be “state-approved.”

The consistency and methods of alleged torture suggested “a level of coordination, planning and organization, as well as the direct authorization, deliberate policy or official tolerance of superior authorities,” said UN Special Rapporteur on Torture Alice Jill Edwards, who sent the letter on June 12 along with several other independent experts.

“Following a higher order or policy directive cannot be invoked as a justification for torture, and any person involved must be immediately investigated and prosecuted by independent authorities,” she said.
