Azov soldiers captured a representative of a dying nation.

Azov militants captured three occupiers

Warriors of the reconnaissance unit of the 2nd battalion of the 12th special operations brigade 'Azov' detained three occupiers during a clearing operation in the Toretsk direction. It turned out that they were 'their own' - Nenets people from Northern Russia. A video of the interrogation of the captives was published on the brigade's YouTube channel.

Notably, among the captives is 19-year-old Dmytro Yaptik, a representative of the Nenets people from the Yamal Peninsula, who is currently under threat of extinction. Dmytro reported that all his acquaintances, mobilized Nenets, had died, he himself sustained a leg injury, and 'Azov' provided him with medical assistance.

Earlier, one of the captured Russians spoke about why he killed a civilian man.

It should be reminded that a former prisoner of the Russian Federation, 'Azov' fighter Artur Niverchuk, spent 884 days in Russian captivity, being in eight colonies, including one of the harshest in the Russian Federation - 'Black Dolphin'.

Moreover, another defender of Mariupol and captured military Mykhailo Chaplia stated in an interview about the methods of torture used by Russians against Ukrainians in captivity. According to him, captives are subjected to severe beatings after being questioned about their identity and activities.

'They beat you daily. You stand with your eyes closed, your hands twisted. They beat your palms with a stun gun. They beat you on the legs, hit you with batons on the ribs, bruising your kidneys. There is a special forces soldier who wants to assert himself. He asks who you are in life, it’s their thing. You say you are from Azov, and he hits you in the liver. It takes two or three hits to fold you over. There is moral pressure,' the defender recounts.

He also noted that due to his affiliation with 'Azov', he was transferred to a punishment cell several times.
