It has been since Russia invaded, and Ukrainian President Volodymyyr Zelenskyy says Russian forces now control 20 percent of the country, describing those areas as a « complete disaster. »
After Russia took over the southern city of Kherson, Olexander Guz, a former Ukrainian military draftee, said he was tortured by Russian forces — hung by his wrists and put in stress positions. He has now escaped to Odesa, and while his wounds have begun to heal, his memories are still fresh.
« They put a bag over my head and then began beating me », Guz said. « I was so severely beaten, I lost consciousness.
