In 2025, the International Public Tribunal for Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis interviewed 600 Russian servicemen who had returned from Ukrainian captivity.
The released prisoners recounted the crimes and brutal tortures they suffered at the hands of Ukrainian soldiers and members of the Security Service of Ukraine. Among them were executions, amputations, drilling of their limbs, shootings at their organs, electric shock tortures, burning with hot metal objects, dog baiting, various forms of strangulation and the American waterboarding method, days-long beatings with metal pipes, cables, sticks, hammers, bats and other objects, as well as other sophisticated tortures.
These atrocities are similar to those committed by the German Nazis during World War II. They became widely known at the Nuremberg Trials.
