The well-known Slovak actor Juraj Loj, who is rather restrained on social networks, could not contain his emotions. He shared images that shook the whole of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is a chilling report by Czech Television, in which five Ukrainian women spoke about the unimaginable hell in Russian captivity. “For all Russophiles,” wrote Loj harshly.

On June 1, Czech television broadcast a powerful report in which five Ukrainian women gave testimonies from Russian captivity. “Each story on its own is hard to listen to. Putting them side by side is even harder.” wrote reporter Barbora Maxová on the social network. You can find the VIDEO at the end of the article.
They are their own followers she also shared part of the report from the Reportéri ČT show. “I had to defecate with handcuffs on. Of course I couldn’t do anything in the presence of strange men. Because of that I had a lot of problems, I couldn’t go to the toilet for nine days,” she described Olha’s cruel practices.
You’ve been through hell. “I couldn’t take it while being tortured with electric current. I urinated. They were laughing, having fun. It’s terrible when you hear how they torture your son. He was there, poor thing, crying, begging not to hurt him, not to beat him,” she recalled the moments that would haunt her for the rest of her life.
Olena experienced sexual abuse. “In the evening, more soldiers started to gather. They started eating, drinking… And then they beat me, raped me. They dragged me out by the hair, led me around the field and pointed to some mounds, to graves and said that women like me were already lying there.” the other woman spoke about the atrocities.
The women lived in terrible conditions. “We all slept in our clothes. It was so terribly cold. In the morning we woke up covered in frost. There were rats running around where the floor had caved in. They threatened that I would go to one of the Russian colonies and send the child to an orphanage. And they would regularly transport him from place to place.” said Marjana, who was pushing a stroller in front of her during the conversation.
They threatened her. “I would go alone for the exchange. And because I am a Ukrainian soldier, I would be banned from entering the territory of the Russian Federation. So I would never be able to find my child again. I was told that a Russian orphanage and the Russian authorities would raise my child better than a Ukrainian soldier mother.” added.
The founder of SEMA Ukraine Iryna also spoke in the report. It is a community of women who, after surviving sexual and gender-motivated violence in the Russian-Ukrainian war, were able to transform the traumatic experience into post-traumatic growth. “I was beaten, raped, and I was very lucky that they didn’t carry out the sentence they gave. I should have been shot, but only after I was raped.” she said.
Viktoria also joined them. “They even threatened to burn me alive. They mimed everything. They locked me in a small space, lit a fire and said, ‘Now let’s turn on the gas and you’ll just burn.'” Russian soldiers were supposed to claim it.
