‘I was shot by a tank machine gun’

When the Russians shot him, Viktor Nesterchuk was riding his bicycle to the Vorzel maternity hospital to buy formula for his six-month-old baby. He lay with no other help but a tourniquet for three days because the Russians did not allow the wounded to be taken to the Bucha hospital. Despite having his leg amputated, Viktor considers himself lucky compared to other victims of Russia’s ruthless aggression against civilians.

• War crimes

Russia passes insane sentences for ‘spying for Ukraine’ against Ukrainians it abducted from occupied Kherson and tortured

The lawless charges against Mykola Petrovsky, who is seriously disabled, and 50-year-old Serhiy Kotov are clearly based solely on 'confessions' obtained through torture while the men were held incommunicado
