In the intercepted conversation, the Russian admits that their troops “massacred everyone there” when leaving the town.

"We raped, massacred, shot them dead there. In Lyman, in Torske, we were just going and gunning them down. All young men were taken away," he said.

According to the invader, they raped, slaughtered, and shot all the young women.

The Security Service of Ukraine emphasized that the words said by the Russian military officer were documented. Investigators are working to ensure that the invaders receive the biggest possible punishment for each of their crimes.
