As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, a Russian soldier who was held in a secret prison in Brianka, Luhansk Region, for not wanting to fight against Ukraine, spoke about beatings and threats. Thus, the Russian command is trying to return to the front those who refuse to fight against the AFU.

Later, the Russian servicemen, who initially refused to fight in Ukraine, and then were placed in an underground prison in the occupied Brianka of Luhansk region, complained to the Investigative Committee of Russia.
