Mariupol children brainwashed into thanking the Russian invaders for ‘saving’ them

Russia's lies and attempts to blame Ukraine for its own war crimes may be too brazen to be effective where adults are concerned. They are, however, terrifyingly effectively in the case of small children

Russia cripples tortured 23-year-old Ukrainian POW then convicts him of ‘terrorism’ for defending Ukraine

Bohdan Trofimiuk was just 19 when taken prisoner by the Russian invaders. He has been deprived since then of medical care, including for the torture which almost killed him and left him unable to walk, and has been sentenced on surreal 'terrorism' charges

17-year sentences in Russian captivity for refusing to betray Ukraine

More details have emerged of the insane 'trial' of Border Guard officers Vasyl Dmytriuk and Ivan Tereshchenko, including the fact that refusal to claim that Crimea is 'Russian' was viewed by the occupation 'court' as an aggravating circumstance

Savage sentence against Ukrainian from occupied Luhansk oblast on secret ‘spying’ charges

It seems likely that Volodymyr Lukashenko and several other Ukrainians sentenced on identical charges have been imprisoned for a long time, with charges probably laid shortly before the so-called 'trial'

Ukrainian teenager who needs vital medication sentenced to 5.5 years for negative comments about Russian invaders

Vitaliy Trofymchuk was just 15 when the Russians invaded. He was arrested four years later for two social media comments expressing disgust for the Russian terrorist state and Putin

Russia stages ‘international terrorism trial’ against three Kherson men for resisting its invasion in 2022

• War crimes • Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Pensioners and mothers targeted for Russia’s ‘treason trial’ terror in occupied Ukraine

The hunger strike that Niyara Ersmambetova has been forced to declare highlights the brutality of all these sentences, including the latest against Ivan Chorny who is 72 and would be unlikely to survive 13 years’ captivity

Russia digs up the graves of its victims in Luhansk oblast to claim ‘evidence of Ukrainian aggression’

In at least one propaganda video, separate graves which were seen when dug to be separately buried and marked, are shown being exhumed without any dignity as though they’d been flung into the ground.

Melitopol mother of two sentenced to 14 years for donations to help Ukraine

The Russian invaders have not only imprisoned Maryna Meshkova for seeking to help the defenders of her country, but have shattered the lives of her two children

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Russia extracts surreal ‘confession’ a year after abducting 59-year-old Maryna Kovalenko

No attempt to make the charges against Maryna Kovalenko even remotely plausible and it is possible that she was targeted because her son is serving in Ukraine's Armed Forces

Russian military court upholds torture and trashes law to call defence of Ukraine ‘terrorism’

The 'court' took less than a day to rubberstamp 16-21-year sentences on insane charges against men seized while serving in the Ukrainian Armed Forces Aidar Battalion

• Human Rights Abuses in Russian-occupied Crimea

Crimean sentenced to 5.5 years for social media comments in support of Ukraine’s Armed Forces

Oleksandr Maliarenko is the latest in a mounting number of Ukrainians imprisoned either for writing the truth about Russia's war of aggression or for expressing support for the defenders of their own country
