Sri Lankans describe abuse as Russian captives in Ukraine

Russia Ukraine War: A group of Sri Lankans held captive by Russian forces in an agricultural factory in eastern Ukraine said on Saturday that they were beaten and abused for months before escaping on foot as the Russians withdrew from the Kharkiv region this month. Recounting their ordeal to reporters in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, one of the seven Sri Lankans said he was shot in the foot; another had his toenail ripped off and was slammed in the head with the butt of a rifle. Ukrainian officials described their treatment as torture.
