«I took a denazification course. I'm aware of my guilt». Kherson resident forced to apologize to Russian military on camera

Rada deputy Serhiy Khlan (formerly a major Kherson businessman) claims that the «denazification courses» are in fact torture. He explained to The Insider that according to his information, all those detained for a pro-Ukrainian stance are tortured. «Both FSB and military officers do it, so it's difficult to name any one unit, but those mobilized from the LNR and DNR are the most brutal,» he told The Insider.

Since the beginning of March, Kherson has been occupied by Russian troops. About half of the city's residents have left, and every one in five has left the Kherson region. Those who stayed at first attended rallies in support of Ukraine. But then the occupation troops launched a terror campaign. Local residents told The Insider about mass kidnappings, torture, robbery and rape.
