Ukrainian militaryMOSCOW, April 4Ukrainian nationalists repeatedly punched and kicked Russian servicemen, Omar, a serviceman of the RF Armed Forces, who was captured by them, said. “They tied my arms and legs, started beating … kicked me in the face, beat me on the head. When they gave me a kick in the face from my foot, I passed out,” says Omar in a video provided by RIA Novosti to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The soldier noted that at that time he had a beard, which is why the Ukrainian soldiers called him a Kadyrovite and a Chechen. According to Omar, the Ukrainian military threatened him with hanging, they said that Russian prisoners «should be castrated.» There were also such threats that the serviceman did not want to talk about on camera. «When we were lying with our hands and feet tied, there was one wounded, I don't know, they tortured him or what, I didn't see, but I remember how he screamed, yelled,» Omar said. In addition, the Ukrainian military filmed a video about how prisoners were kicked. Colleagues also told Omar that the Ukrainians beat them in the ribs, and someone on the head with a rifle butt.
