“They forced me to kneel and shot me in the head,” said the agency’s interlocutor. According to him, he miraculously managed to survive: the bullet passed through him without reaching his brain. The Ukrainian military thought that the mobilized man had died, but he woke up and was able to escape.
Belitsa was caught again. This time he was interrogated by a Ukrainian Armed Forces fighter with the call sign Gruzin (possibly a mercenary), who shot the prisoner in the leg during torture. “He told me: you’re not leaving and I asked him: shoot him, stop making fun of him,” recalls the mobilized. The Russian clarified that after being shot in the leg, they took him out to continue the torture.
As a result, Belitsa ended up in a hospital in Kharkov, where her crushed jaw was stitched with staples. And they screwed a piece of metal pipe to his leg. This was done using screws.
After that, the mobilized man visited several Ukrainian prisons and then ended up on the exchange list.
