“We have already encountered the exhumation of individual bodies, not only with traces of violent death, but also of torture – cut off ears, etc. This is only the beginning,” Mr. Enin said in an interview with Ukraine’s Radio NV. He claimed that among those detained at one of the points were students from an unspecified Asian country who were detained at a Russian checkpoint as they tried to leave for territory controlled by Ukraine. Mr. Enin did not specify where the students were being held, although he named the small towns of Balakliya and Volchansk as two locations where torture chambers were found. His account could not be independently verified. “All these traces of war crimes are now being carefully documented by us. And we know from Bukha’s experience that the worst crimes can only be revealed over time,” Mr. Enin said, referring to a Kiev suburb where the bodies of hundreds of civilians were discovered after the Russian army withdrew from the area in March.
