Ukrainian journalists report Russian occupiers torture resident of Kherson Oblast to death
In the city of Kakhovka, Kherson Oblast, Russian invaders tortured a 45-year-old resident, Volodymyr Zakabluk, to death, according to the Center for Journalistic Investigations.
Terror against the civilian population in occupied territories has become a common practice for the Russian military toward Ukrainians. In addition to establishing a network of torture chambers across Ukrainian territories, the occupiers persecute civilians who speak Ukrainian, hold Ukrainian passports, and refuse to send their children to Russian schools that brainwash them.
Friends of the man said Russian forces detained Volodymyr Volodymyrovych Zakabluk, born in 1979, in Kakhovka, and brutally tortured him. He died from injuries sustained in early October 2024.
Zakabluk worked at the company’s local branch of “Cargill” company, which owns an oil extraction plant in Kakhovka. From 2004 to 2008, he was registered as an individual entrepreneur providing transport services and specializing in trade. Further details surrounding his death are currently unknown.
