War in Donbas

Forces of the Ukrainian Army interrogate a captured separatist that discloses shocking details of the Kremlin-backed militants’ treatment of the local population of the Donbas region of Ukraine. In particular, the separatist tells that the separatists had been raping girls that were delivered to them at checkpoints and killing them afterwards. Civilian cars were stopped at the checkpoint, and the passengers robbed. Whoever resisted was shot.

The terrorists’ treatment of prisoners of war is no less gruesome. Social media accounts shed light on DNR soldiers torturing their POWs and committing war crimes against them.
