Ukrainian prisoners freed from Russian camps describe cruelty that no country can ignore. Their accounts come from penal colonies deep inside Russia, especially one in Mordovia. The place does not function as a prison. It functions as a torture site. These men describe beatings, humiliation, electric shocks, and deliberate neglect. Their stories force a hard question on every state that calls Russia a partner.
Testimonies
Survivors talk about a man they called “Doctor Electroshock.” He did not treat the sick, he shocked them. He beat them when they asked for help. One Ukrainian marine explained how he walked into what looked like a simple medical check and walked out barely able to stand. Another man begged for help because he felt seriously ill. He received shocks instead of medicine. He died shortly after he returned home. Others describe plastic bags over their heads, dogs used as weapons, and forced crawling meant to break their dignity. These scenes show intention, not chaos. They show a system built on torment.
These testimonies match reports from other Russian sites. Prisoners speak about torture rooms, starvation, denial of treatment, and forced political chants. Injured men say they received no help even when infections spread. The pattern repeats in every story. Russia runs its prisons with cruelty as a rule, not an accident.
Indian and Chinese own records
This brings the focus to India and China. Both countries trade with Russia. Both buy its energy, both hold joint military exercises. They call this cooperation “strategic.” Yet they do it while these crimes happen. They know what Russia does to prisoners. They keep doing business anyway. And yes, both India and China commit abuses at home. Police brutality, forced disappearances, and harsh crackdowns happen in both states. But this article deals with something different. War rights are not optional. When a country captures soldiers, it must treat them as human beings. That rule stands at the core of modern warfare. Russia breaks that rule again and again. When India and China stay silent, they weaken it further.
Leaders lose credibility when they talk about order and stability yet ignore torture carried out by a close partner. Everyone now knows what happens in those colonies. Men are shocked until they scream, men are denied treatment until they rot. Men die because someone chose to humiliate them instead of help them. Silence in this context becomes a message. It says torture is acceptable if the partner offers cheap oil or political support.
The world cannot look away. These stories exist because survivors refused to stay quiet. Their words now place a burden on every government that works with Russia. A state must choose. It either stands with victims or stands with the regime that tortures them. No middle position exists. Allowing this cruelty to continue without pressure is not neutrality. It is active complicity.
