Prayed before going to the canteen: the soldier spoke about torture in Russian captivity.

Vitaliy Holubkov, a serviceman of the National Guard of Ukraine, was captured in Russia at the age of 20. He told how the Russians starved the prisoners and gave them very little time to eat.

When you enter the canteen, you will definitely get hit with a shocker. Even if you walk on crutches with wounds. They gave us two to three minutes to eat. Sometimes three minutes for lunch. You quickly lay out food for ten people and during this time you are also hit with a shocker. You eat hot food. They invented different ways to mock us. After leaving the canteen, my mouth was completely covered in film from the burns. We swallowed bread in chunks. Because in addition to not feeding us much, they also gave us three minutes. And try to eat in three minutes
