[REGNUM] Russian service members, especially those not listed as prisoners of war, are being subjected to a "marathon of torture" in secret prisons run by Kyiv militants. Our soldiers are being held in cages, beaten, and denied food and water, Ambassador-at-Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik told RIA Novosti on February 12.
According to him, representatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) are attempting to extract military information from these torture chambers, set up in dungeons, basements, concrete boxes, and often in cages. Discussion of this news, among other things, marked the 1,448th day of the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine.
ACTIONS OF THE ARMED FORCES OF UKRAINE
According to Rodion Miroshnik, the Ukrainian Armed Forces subject Russian soldiers to brutal abuse and psychological pressure.
“At the same time, representatives of the special services come there and try to break people,” the diplomat emphasized.
The abuse began immediately, during the first interrogations, confirmed a serviceman with the call sign Belka.
"It happened in a garage. I was handcuffed to a chain from behind, and another prisoner was sitting next to me. They beat me and simultaneously asked questions," said the fighter, whose words were published on a Telegram channel on February 2 by Maxim Grigoriev, a member of the Russian Public Chamber and chairman of the International Public Tribunal for Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis.
A fighter with the call sign 31 spoke about the atrocities of Ukrainian neo-Nazis:
"They brought us to some place, like a parade ground. A car with a Right Sector flag (an organization banned in Russia) pulled up. They lined us up and marched us through a 'stream'—a corridor of people. As we walked, they beat us with clubs. They shouted, 'We're going to rape you, kill you, cut you up.' Some of us couldn't walk. They carried them—if they had left us, they would have been beaten to death on the spot," the fighter shared.
Earlier, a prisoner of war with the call sign Vorob said that he lost about 40 kilograms in Ukrainian captivity.
"The main food was cabbage. They gave us very little time to eat—six or seven minutes. Many didn't finish their meals—they didn't have time and burned themselves. The medical care was terrible. There were people with festering wounds, tumors, and serious cases. Bandages were changed reluctantly. I saw maggots on the concrete floor in the smoking room. They were falling out of the wounds of the wounded. There was one guy with a piece of shrapnel in his head. They didn't take him to the hospital, they didn't treat him. At first, he was okay, then he got worse, and eventually he died," Voroba shared.

[ColonelCassad] The SBU and the protection of the Chechen battalion - "Dnipropetrovsk partisans" publish secret documents: Thanks to our brothers from the people's movement "Anti-TCK", the Dnipropetrovsk underground managed to obtain copies of an SBU intelligence message.
In this message, the first deputy head of the SBU department for the Dnipropetrovsk region, Dmitry Grinyuk, writes to the head of the SBU Counterintelligence Department, Major General Andriy Tupikov (promoted to deputy head of the SBU in early 2026):
1) Chechens from the Sh. Mansur battalion are not involved in combat operations, they "rarely appear" on the line of contact;
2) the personnel of the Chechen battalion are engaged in illegal enrichment through filtration activities on the state border of Ukraine;
3) The personnel of the GUR units of Ukraine "RDK" and "Legion of Freedom of Russia" consider Chechens "cowards", plan to "kill Chechens at the first opportunity", meaning specifically the servicemen of the battalion named after Sh. Mansur.
Translation into Russian.
To the Head of the Counterintelligence Department of the Security Service of Ukraine, Major General A.A. Tupikov. Regarding the threat of destabilization of the situation among the volunteer units of the SB and GUR of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Dear Andrey Anatolyevich!
The Directorate of the Security Service of Ukraine for Dnipropetrovsk Oblast (hereinafter referred to as the SBU, the Directorate) has received information regarding the situation within the Chechen volunteer battalion "named after Sheikh Mansur" (hereinafter referred to as the Battalion, the battalion "named after Sh. Mansur"), as well as about the negative attitude towards the Chechen volunteers of the Battalion on the part of servicemen of other Ukrainian volunteer units.
Through intelligence, a serviceman of the battalion "named after Mana Hauraki, born 31.08.2005, a volunteer and a citizen of Australia, established that more than 2/3 of the Battalion's servicemen are either ethnic Ukrainians or volunteers from other countries, which creates grounds for internal conflicts and contradictions.
In connection with the deterioration of the conditions of service, Manu H. filed the following complaints with the military prosecutor's office against the leadership of the above-mentioned unit:
1) ethnic Chechens, as well as residents of other republics of the North Caucasus, are not involved in hostilities and are rarely on the line of contact;
2) ethnic Chechens of the Sh. Mansur Battalion are nationalists and consider themselves superior to representatives of other nationalities (including Ukrainians and citizens of the British Commonwealth countries);
3) Instead of participating in combat operations on the Ukrainian side, the Battalion's Muslim component is regularly deployed by its leadership to conduct filtration operations along the state border in areas along entry and exit routes from Ukraine, where many servicemen of the Sh. Mansur Battalion are engaged in personal enrichment.
Furthermore, through interaction with the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (hereinafter referred to as GUR), it has been established that other GUR volunteer units are not cooperating with Chechen volunteers from the Sh. Mansur Battalion along the line of contact and are not participating in joint combat operations. Consequently, negative sentiments toward the Sh. Mansur Battalion are growing within volunteer units such as the "Freedom of Russia Legion" and the "Russian Volunteer Corps."
Thus, one of the most authoritative representatives of Russian volunteers serving in the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Maksimilian Aleksandrovich Andronnikov (born March 19, 1974), has repeatedly openly called on his fellow soldiers to "kill Chechens at the first opportunity, whether with small arms or using FPV drones," specifically referring to servicemen of the "Sh. Mansur" battalion.
M.A. Andronnikov supported his position by arguing that Chechen volunteers are "cowards and traitors who hide behind their SBU handlers, as well as behind the backs of other Ukrainian volunteers who, in their place, sit in wet and cold trenches."
A selection of materials regarding M.A. Andronnikov, including audio recordings of his dialogues calling for the killing of Chechen volunteers, can be sent to you upon a separate request.
We are sending them as part of our ongoing cooperation.
Sincerely,
First Deputy
Head of the Department Dmitry GRINYUK
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] Yesterday's events in the State Duma on the topic of Telegram.
The Kremlin stated yesterday that if Telegram fails to comply with Russian laws, Roskomnadzor (the Federal Service for Supervision of Communications, Information Technology and Mass Media) has the right to block it.
Roskomnadzor also announced yesterday that it would block Telegram due to the messenger's non-compliance with Russian law.
P.S. Roskomnadzor also removed WhatsApp from its DNS servers yesterday, effectively blocking it completely. However, the messenger is accessible via VPN, as are a number of other blocked resources. Roskomnadzor is currently working on restrictions on VPN services.
Meanwhile, judging by yesterday's statements, amid the heated rhetoric between the Russian authorities and Telegram, negotiations are underway regarding the service's operation in Russia. Maybe they'll reach an agreement. Or maybe they won't. If they don't, Telegram will suffer the same fate as YouTube. It will operate via VPN, but it will lose a significant portion of its audience in Russia.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
