On September 22, five released British citizens - Aiden Aslin, Sean Pinner, John Harding, Dylan Hill and Andrew Hill - returned home.

The British became part of a large exchange of prisoners between Russia and Ukraine.

Citizens of Great Britain, who returned from Russian captivity, told the Daily Mail in an interview how the Russians subjected them to torture: they were beaten, cut with a knife, staged the death penalty and connected to electric current.

The captives say they ate "real food" for the first time in months on board the plane en route to Saudi Arabia.

Another Briton was captured by the Russians.

He is a paramedic who has served in the "Azov" regiment of the National Guard of Ukraine in recent years.

According to him, he lost a lot of weight in captivity because they were kept in a prison cell for 23 hours a day.

Also, according to him, the Russians are "very resourceful" when it comes to torture.

They converted an old telephone in such a way that a prisoner of war dialed a number on it, and when the dial returned to its place, he was shocked with an electric current.

"There were beatings, electric shocks and more beatings. One guy was stabbed in the leg and then stitched up. I think we were being tortured for fun," Harding recalled.

According to him, the beatings could last several hours.

The publication writes that the British were also subjected to psychological torture.

As Harding said, the guards even forced him to record a farewell video for his daughter before the shooting.

Earlier it was reported that in Izyum, as well as in other cities of the Kharkiv region, Russian inhumans set up a prison and a torture chamber.

The police showed what the base of the Russian occupiers in Izyum looks like, where the invaders set up a prison and a torture chamber.

Law enforcement officers found magazines with a list of detainees kept by the Russians, as well as torture instruments - electric cables.

Prisoners were electrocuted.
