How Russia organized a torture chamber network in Kharkiv Oblast

His hands shaking as he took a cigarette from its pack, war veteran Serhii Chepurnyi carefully chose his words as he recalled what Russian soldiers did to him when occupying his native village, Velykyi Burluk. Chepurnyi spent 44 days in detainment, subjected to Russian torture, electrocution, and beatings on a daily basis. Survivors' testimonies reveal the sheer scale of Russia's highly-organized plans to round up Ukrainian war veterans, volunteers, and civilians in a widespread network of torture chambers scattered across Kharkiv Oblast.
