Ukrainian soldier released in prisoner swap left with ‘Glory to Russia’ burned on his body by Putin’s sick torturers
A UKRAINIAN prisoner of war had the words “Glory to Russia” burned onto his skin while held captive in Russia.
A disturbing photo emerged showing the mutilated soldier after he was released in a prisoner exchange, and Ukraine‘s intelligence service has confirmed it is genuine.
The phrase has been branded sideways onto his right flank in large, uneven letters.
Up the middle of the tortured soldier’s torso is another thick, livid scar ragged by rough stick marks.
He also has a tube fitted into his stomach, and another area of major scarring on his left flank.
Andrii Yusov, spokesperson for Defence Intelligence of Ukraine [DIU], said: “Unfortunately, the photo is real. He wasn’t in this exchange, but one of the earlier ones.
“While examining him at a rehabilitation centre for soldiers, a doctor, overwhelmed by what he saw, took the photo and posted it online.
“This is evidence of what our defenders go through in captivity. The photo speaks for itself.
“And it is imperative that not only Ukrainians see it – they know very well what the Russians are – but the whole world.”
He also revealed that 90 percent of prisoners released from captivity in Russia reported violations of the required conditions.
This ranges from a lack of medical care to outright torture, as appears to be the case with this soldier.
Yusov said that Ukraine is documenting each case and attempting to identify those involved.
He said: “This is visually very clear – there is a stark difference in the condition in which Russian POWs return to Russia and the condition in which Ukrainian defenders come back.
“Violations of detention conditions, and breaches of the required standards for food and medical support, are widespread in Russian captivity.
“This is something that the International Committee of the Red Cross must address and the entire international community must act upon.”
Russia and Ukraine exchanged at least 1,200 each on Monday after the second round of direct talks in Istanbul last week.
From Yusov’s statement, it seems the branded prisoner was released during an exchange earlier in the war.
He could have been one of 1,000 prisoners exchanged by each side in May after the first face-to-face talks in three years.
It had been hoped those talks would advance the peace process, but they broke up after Russia demanded Ukraine withdraw troops from its own territory — which Moscow has been unable to conquer — as a precondition of any ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the chief of Germany’s MI6 warned that Putin has his evil eyes set on invading Nato.
Bruno Kahl, head of Berlin’s Federal Intelligence Service, said the war in Ukraine is just the beginning for the Russian despot.
It’s after his team obtained intel suggesting Russia is plotting to test the resolve of the alliance in the coming years, Kahl claims.
A similar warning was issued by Nato Secretary General Mark Rutte on Monday.
Man City splash £107m in 10-day Club World Cup transfer window after completing £35m deal for in-demand Rayan Cherki
RAYAN CHERKI believes his “dream” move to Manchester City gives him the perfect platform to shine.
The 21-year-old France international becomes Pep Guardiola’s third capture of the summer after moving from Lyon.
City will pay around £30million up front for the midfielder with a further £5m in add-ons if he proves to be a success.
He follows full-back Rayan Ait Nouri – who moved from Wolves to the Etihad for £31m – on Monday and reserve keeper Marcus Bettinelli.
Meanwhile, Tijjani Reijnders’ £46m switch from Milan will be formally announced on Wednesday morning.
The deal was all agreed ahead of Tuesday night’s transfer deadline but he was on international duty with the Netherlands.

That will take Pep’s spending to around £107m in the first part of the summer transfer window.
Cherki will be part of the Club World Cup squad and said: “This is a dream for me.
“Honestly, to be joining a club like Manchester City and have the opportunity to make the next step in my career here is something very, very special.
“I have worked so hard for this all my life. I love this sport, and I can’t wait to develop further here in Manchester with Pep and his backroom staff.

“Everyone knows how good City are – they have been so successful for many years now. The responsibility to help the team continue winning is something I want to embrace.
“I would only leave Lyon for a project I really believe in and everything at City suggests I can develop my game and help the team be successful in the future.
“I can’t wait to show City fans what I can do.”
City’s director of football Hugo Viana said: “There’s no doubt that he’s now in the best place possible to develop further under Pep’s guidance .
“I really believe he can become a world-class player with our support and direction.”
It was a busy day at the Etihad Campus on Tuesday as City prepare to fly to Miami on Thursday to begin their preparations for the Club World Cup.
As well as Cherki, their new third-choice keeper Bettinelli arrived – joining from Chelsea for a nominal fee.
The 33-year-old will replace Scott Carson, who has left the club after six years.
Meanwhile, City confirmed that Pep Lijnders and James French – who both worked under Jurgen Klopp at Liverpool – will join Guardiola’s coaching staff.
Lijnders will work as an assistant to the boss following the departure of Juanma Lillo at the end of last season.
Kolo Toure – who won the title with City back in 2012 – will step up from his role with the youth team to assist the senior team in America this month.
Guardiola is due to name his squad to travel to the US once all the players have reported back from international duty.

“In the warm-up I looked around and I was like, the other teams aren’t here so they have to be cheering for us.”
