All this is happening against the backdrop of the shutdown and the American administration's desire to deprive Radio Liberty of funding.

I met Marco Rubio within these walls when he was still a senator.
Is it worth making concessions, Mr. Rubio, to please those who consider one of the largest

...and, seeing the infantry, simply wished us luck and asked us not to leave them there.

Each time, the situations are very different, and it's difficult to say exactly how many collaborators there were and how many people wanted to remain with Ukraine.

On the other hand, this house was rented to us absolutely free of charge by a local resident who had left for Europe so that we could at least somehow recover from the combat.

On the street, a couple of times, older women approached our jeep...

One night in Myrnohrad, I had to leave my house and fire my pistol because a local had broken into our private property. As it turned out later, he'd unscrewed the gas valve right under my windows, knowing that the military was staying here.

...and the detonation of three branches that transported gasoline, diesel, and aviation fuel.

The sabotage was carried out in the Moscow region.

...and didn’t respond to anything we said to him.

We had to lift him up and move him to a seat at the table (which involved pressing on his broken ribs), where we could begin to engage him in a conversation about fishing and mining (he was a miner and liked to fish)".

At night, whenever he heard the slightest noise in the corridor, his hands would begin to shake and he’d sit perched on the very edge of the cot nearest the door, saying over and over, “Just hang on, son, hang on, hang on.” He was convinced that he was back in the basement with his son...

That evening we encountered another problem. From about seven p.m. until half past eight, the man was suddenly completely disoriented. He raved as if in a fever and clearly didn’t know where he was. It turned out that he had been tortured every day for a week at precisely that time...

...(they did the same to the father) - the men doing the torturing yelled at the father, “Look at your whelp, he peed himself!”

This inmate later told me that neither the torture itself nor the threat to his life had caused him as much pain as he felt in that moment...

had been tortured together with his own son, on the same table. Torture is a complex system of measures and isn’t limited to causing physical pain. When the man’s son lost control of his bladder - reflexively, because of the muscle spasms induced by the electricity shocking his genitals and anus
