Six days hanging naked from rebar. Four months standing in human waste until his feet rotted and his heels separated from the bone. Two healthy teeth ripped out without anesthesia. His tendons severed with a knife. This is what Ukrainian soldier Oleksii Anulia endured during 10 months of russian captivity. He was beaten unconscious and nearly raped. He watched two fellow prisoners being murdered. Another man was raped for nine days because he had a beard. A female teacher was raped after declaring a hunger strike. “I asked why. They told me: ‘Because you were born a khokhol.’” His father went looking for him and helped 46 people escape captivity. The russians captured him in Lukashivka and burned him alive alongside six others inside an Orthodox church. Oleksii survived. Doctors wanted to amputate his legs. He refused. He wanted to walk again and return to his children. He wrote Jingle bellZ to document these atrocities for a future tribunal. “They broke everything that could be broken. They couldn’t break my desire to return to my children.” This is the reality of russian captivity. The world must know the truth. Every perpetrator must face justice. #FreeUkrainianPOWs
