‘Absolute evil’: inside the Russian prison camp where dozens of Ukrainians burned to death:

Screams from soldiers being tortured, overflowing
cells, inhuman conditions, a regime of intimidation and murder. Inedible
gruel, no communication with the outside world, and days marked off
with a home-made calendar written on a box of tea.

This, according to a prisoner who was there, is what conditions are like inside Olenivka, the notorious detention centre outside Donetsk where dozens of Ukrainian soldiers burned to death in a horrific episode late last month while in Russian captivity.

Anna Vorosheva – a 45-year-old Ukrainian entrepreneur – gave a harrowing account to the Observer
of her time inside the jail. She spent 100 days in Olenivka after being
detained in mid-March at a checkpoint run by the pro-Russian Donetsk
People’s Republic (DNR) in eastern Ukraine.
