‘Call to Putin’: The brutal torture method

A United Nations report has laid bare shocking torture methods used by Russian forces against Ukrainians.

One of the most disturbing practices, called “call to Putin,” involves electric shocks to the genitals.

The findings expose the scale and organisation of this abuse.

Captured Ukrainians are allegedly tortured with electric shocks using an old telephone device.

“Ears, fingers, feet and genitals” are connected to wires before guards administer 80-volt shocks, the report states.

This sadistic method has been reported in several occupied areas.

The full report will be delivered to the UN Human Rights Council next month.

It sets out evidence of widespread and systematic torture amounting to war crimes.

The data comes from interviews, medical records and testimonies from survivors.
