Ukraine accused of torturing war prisoners
Russia yesterday said it was investigating the torture of Russian soldiers held prisoner in Ukraine and recently released as part of a prisoner swap with Kyiv in late June.
The Russian Investigative Committee, which probes major crimes, said in a statement that it was "verifying facts of inhuman treatment of Russia soldier prisoners in Ukraine".
Last week Moscow and Kyiv exchanged 144 prisoners of war each -- the biggest exchange since the start of Moscow's Ukraine campaign launched on February 24.
