UN Commission Condemns Russia's Systematic Torture of Ukrainian POWs

A United Nations commission of inquiry on Ukraine has reported evidence of systematic torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war by Russia, including rape threats and the use of electric shocks on genitals, potentially constituting crimes against humanity. The report, submitted to the U.N. Human Rights Council, documents horrific treatment, with prisoners resorting to eating worms and dog food due to hunger. Russia denies the allegations, and the council will decide whether to extend the commission's mandate for further investigation.
