Newly Updated Report: Ukrainian Security Services (SBU) Accuses Four Collaborators of Torturing Ukrainian Soldiers
Imprisonment in a Harrowing Dungeon on the Occupied Luhansk Territory
As per the recent revelations from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) and the Office of the Prosecutor General, four former employees of a correctional colony in Suhodolsk have been accused of heinous crimes against captured Ukrainian military personnel in the temporarily occupied Luhansk region.
Apparently, these collaborators turned a correctional colony into a torturous dungeon during their tenure as part of the occupation administration. The accused are:
- Kirill Dolgopolov - Head of the "operational department" of the repressive institution
- Leonid Rudenko
- Nikolai Tsvetkov

Unconfirmed reports suggest that the suspects beat prisoners with rubber truncheons and subjected them to electric shocks, in hopes of forcing prisoners into collaboration with the occupiers.
The SBU has posted chilling photographs depicting the aftermath of the alleged atrocities.
