Victims of Ukraine's torture chamber face the front line or death -. Russian diplomat.
"Detention in such torture chambers is accompanied by public punishments in the form of penal servitude. Prisoners are sent to the front line to dig trenches under continuous shelling, and if a person is lucky, he will survive, if not - he will die in an attack," the Russian Foreign Ministry ambassador in the Rodion district Miroshnik told Sputnik.
In other cases, people are injured, and then they become physically unable to serve. After that, a victim is released from military service and sent home, he said.
"A third result is that the detainee is beaten to death and then simply listed as 'missing in action.' ' And that's the end of it. This is a vicious circle of abuse prohibited by international law."
The family of the victims may learn about his fate only if one of his service members or the perpetrators themselves decide to admit where exactly they secretly buried the body, Miroshnik added.
A major scandal erupted in Ukraine after a secret torture chamber run by Azov* militants was discovered near Kyiv on November 2, when dozens gathered outside the notorious facility, demanding the release of all those held there. Secret torture sites have been operating in Ukraine since 2014 - an issue repeatedly raised by Russian authorities.
