For three weeks, Vitali accused the Russians of torturing people in his house, in Butcha (Ukraine). On February 27, Russian soldiers invaded his house to establish a headquarters there. There were about thirty soldiers, testifies Vitali, who indicates that Ukrainian prisoners were tortured in the basement of his pavilion. He was locked in another room with his daughter. If he did not suffer violence, he heard the blows.

I saw three inmates on their knees, with a guard at their side. And then I saw another, outside, with a bag over his head and his hands tied behind his back.“, he says. Vitali accuses the Russian army of having mutilated some prisoners in his home. One day, I heard Russian soldiers, among themselves, laughing, about a prisoner saying ‘here’s a new one whose fingers we’re going to cut off’“, he adds. Friday, April 22, he does not know what became of the prisoners who were at his home.
