Ruslan Alimkhanov, the guard of the occupiers’ torture chamber in Kherson, was sentenced to life imprisonment.
This was reported on the SBU’s page.
Alimkhanov – a serviceman of the Russian National Guard (RF) who, during the occupation of Kherson, was a guard in the torture chamber set up by the occupiers in the captured temporary detention facility. He personally escorted at least four civilians to interrogations where people were tortured and forced to confess to aiding the Armed Forces of Ukraine and to provide information about members of the territorial defense.
