Electrocuted near the heart: an "Edelweiss" fighter recounts more than two years in captivity
Source: Suspilne
While in Russian captivity, his back wounds were torn open by hand and he was tortured with electric shocks. He was taken to be executed and told to say goodbye to his family, and afterward, they laughed at him. He was later sentenced to 20 years in prison in Russia for allegedly shelling Mykolaivka in the Luhansk region. However, even after that, the soldier never lost hope that he would return home.
Serhiy Boichuk is a soldier in the 108th Mountain Assault Battalion of the “Edelweiss” Brigade. He was captured near Spirne in the Donetsk region. Over the course of more than two years, he lost 26 kilograms, and due to frequent beatings and starvation, he was unable to walk and temporarily lost his sight. In an interview with Suspilne Chernivtsi, he talks about his experiences in captivity and why he returned to duty after rehabilitation.
