Y: There were night interrogations, and people had their nails ripped off. It was a lot to handle. The youngest captive, just 18 years old, was subjected to particularly cruel treatment. His toenails were ripped off. 29/

Y: I helped around a hundred people during captivity. You see, I was working day and night; they'd often wake me up. Sometimes I even had to bandage people on the street because the abuse would start there, right in front of the police station. People would lose consciousness 28/

Y: They took him away, cast the leg, and brought him back, holding him for another four days. I told the Russian troops to release him. They said, "He's fine; he's got a cast." I said no, he's not fine because the collaborating police are still ruthlessly beating him. 26/

Y: Our own police, who had defected to the occupiers, were holding him. The next day, I saw a distinct bruise on the leg and immediately said it was broken, and he needed an X-ray and cast. Otherwise, he'd lose the leg. 25/

Y: I remember another man. They broke his leg on the fourth day of captivity. They beat him so hard that the skin on his left leg burst open, breaking the bone below the knee. I bandaged him and stopped the bleeding, but I couldn't initially see the fracture. 24/

Y: There was one man, a worker from Kakhovka Hydroelectric Station, who was chained to a safe on the second floor. One hand was tied to a radiator and the other to the safe. During "interrogations," they pulled veins out of his arms with steel wire. 22/

Y: It was worse for the younger guys, up to 35-40. They were especially brutal with them. Older men received a bit of leniency. I remember two civilians and one soldier who were so severely beaten, I couldn't do much for them, despite being asked for medical help. 21/

Y: I often had to patch people up with whatever I could find. I remember treating a woman who'd been beaten with a rubber stick. No idea why they took her or why they beat her. As for medications, the Russian troops would give some, but it was always minimal. 20/

Y: Starting April 20th, they began taking me out to provide medical aid to civilians whom they had severely beaten. Some needed multiple dressings. I helped approximately ten people each day 19/

The interrogations lasted around 1.5 hours. When I returned to my cell, beaten and barely able to see from one eye, fellow prisoners were in shock. The second day-no "Tapik," just rubber truncheons and bats, hitting me on the back of my head and top, careful not to knock me out.
