Russia’s repeat strikes, timed to kill those seeking to save the victims of earlier attacks, have increased sharply each year and are clearly coordinated state policy

Unending torment as Valentyn Vyhivsky, other Ukrainian political prisoners held in Russian captivity after long sentences

Mass ‘treason / spying trials’ and huge sentences for supporting Ukraine under Russian occupation

Neither age, nor state of health make any difference for Russia’s conveyor-belt ‘trials’ on ‘treason’ or ‘spying’ charges on occupied territory

Melitopol mother of three sentenced to 18 years because of successful Ukrainian strike against Russian invaders
