Torture Is a Russian Tactic in Occupied Ukraine, Civilians Say
Briefly

Yevheny’s ordeal reveals the aggressive colonial repression Russia enforces in occupied Ukraine, with a brutal system echoing Soviet-era practices aimed at eradicating Ukrainian identity.
The system comprises over 100 facilities, including prisons and informal camps, reflecting a bureaucratic and institutionalized method of oppression by Russian authorities in Ukraine.

Moscow's relentless efforts, including torture and forced citizenship, denote an intent to erase Ukrainian culture, pushing propaganda and re-education as tools of control.
