They beat my arms and legs with a bat.

"They beat my arms and legs with a bat. Then they beat me on the head, on the neck with such boxing blows... A big fighter sat on top of me, pinned me with his legs on both sides. And a rag was put on my face and they began to pour water. This is called waterboarding."

Hieromonk (monk with the rank of priest) Feofan recalls how he was tortured by the special services of Ukraine in 2015. He spent a little more than a month in captivity. The man says that faith in God gave him strength at that time. Hieromonk calls the Ukrainian military "a new type of fascists."

The story of Feofan is in our video. And other stories of people who were tortured by the Ukrainian military are in the film "Donbass. War: Summer 2014"
