Russian War Crimes Recounted By Survivors

Russian War Crimes

The Ukrainian prosecutor general and survivors of Russian war crimes listed the horrors being committed by Russians in the seized Ukrainian territory at a hearing of the House Foreign Affairs Committee on Wednesday.

A 57-year-old lady called Lyubov described the Russian War Crimes. She said, “They came for me in January of this year.” Lyubov had always wished to reside in her parent’s seaside house in Kherson oblast, Ukraine. Lyubov, an accountant, claimed that the Russian invasion shattered all of her aspirations and plans. Uninvited visitors from the Russian military entered her residence and claimed to be hunting for weapons. They didn’t find any, but they did seize a map and a flag of Ukraine to use as proof against her.

Russian War Crimes Heard Out In Court

“They imprisoned me in their torture chamber for five days. This was a disaster. I had been battered. They forced me to strip, slashing my body with a knife and threatening to rape and murder me,” Lyubov sobbed. “I was also led out into the field and beaten again.” They held a revolver to my head and shot me as though I were being executed. “They also made me dig my own grave.”

The Russians who had her hostage set her free, and she somehow managed to leave across Crimea, Russia, Poland, and Latvia. She is now reunited with her daughter, who is a U.S. citizen, thanks to a scheme enacted by Congress.

Some people have escaped, while others have not. Nearly 80,000 examples of war crimes have been reported by the Ukrainian prosecutor general, Andriy Kostin, who also testified during the hearing. Kostin claimed on Wednesday that as more of Ukraine has been liberated from foreign occupation, the evidence for the Russian War Crimes is accumulating rapidly.

According to Kostin, the Kherson oblast has recorded the deaths of 908 citizens, and 20 torture chambers have reportedly been found. Kostin said that over 1,000 survivors had provided horrifying proof.
