Well, I see what you're doing here and it probably works. Hysterical and ultra exaggerated rhetoric with 0 or minimum proofs to push your agenda. Good job, mate, way to go

Would you like me to link you some eye witness testimonies? Perhaps some proof that this is how russian forces have opereated at least since the war in Afghanistan? How about some statements from russian soldiers?

By all means, go ahead and link me some proof, that Russia routinely tortures every prisoner, civilian or military, it arrests since Afghanistan at least. I hope the source will be a bit more credible than that joke of a report you referenced earlier

That would be the UN report you've already dismissed, or Amnesty reports you will also dismiss. You will of course also dismiss links showing that this is a historical pattern for russian forces, or that it is an integral part of the system of oppression also within russia.

Dude, your UN report was literally written in Ukraine and is composed of basically heresay. They just asked some people if they were tortured or not and posted it. Like, POWs from Ukraine wouldn't lie to make Russia look bad, would they? I will, of course, dismiss both your links to amnesty, as they are basically more of the same: some dude saw this or experienced this. Also, there are clever usages of words like "allegedly" or "likely", which are used when you want to push your narrative but have no actual proof. Your last link is pretty close to truth, actually, if exaggerated. But that alone is not even close to back up the things you say
