An activist-turned-soldier whose fingers were mangled by metal tools. Women photographed naked and forced to hold their hands above their heads or be beaten. Hospitalized prisoners of war mocked, threatened and left to die. The Hill spoke to a half dozen former prisoners of war and their families this month about what life was like for those captured by Russian forces since Moscow launched its invasion of Ukraine more than four months ago. Thousands of Ukrainians have been detained during the war, with many being exchanged for Russian prisoners of war and set free. Among them was Igor Kurayan, a 55-year-old Ukrainian activist who joined the fight against Russia and was captured in April. https://thehill.com/policy/international/3543197-inside-russias-war-camps-ukrainian-pows-detail-torture-abuse/

U.S. President Joe Biden has pledged to provide financial and military aid for as long as necessary to prevent Ukraine’s defeat, he told reporters at the conclusion of the NATO summit in Madrid. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy thanked Ukrainian troops following Russia’s withdrawal from the strategic Snake Island in the Black Sea, which it captured in the early days of the war. Ukrainian forces say they drove the Russians out, while Moscow insists it was a voluntary act of goodwill. Meanwhile, NATO states plan to send hundreds of thousands more troops to Eastern Europe to bolster the region’s security. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/07/01/russia-ukraine-live-updates.html

This is the moment a cheeky orangutan grabbed a woman's boobs at a zoo in Thailand. The great ape stood behind the tourist for a picture but the tourist was surprised when the creature cupped her breasts in Bangkok's Safari World on June 27. He also planted a kiss on the woman's cheek after flashing a wide grin to amused tourists. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10973723/Grinning-orangutan-wraps-arm-tourist-grabs-BOOBS-kissing-her.html
