"It would have died better, firing instead of captivity," the British from the Armed Forces told about torture

John Garding said that if he knew how the Russians would treat prisoners, he would have a sniper nest and would try to kill one of them before he was killed. John Garding, one of the British prisoners of war, who were released from the Russian captivity, told about the brutal beating he had suffered from Russian servicemen. According to Garding, the soldiers jumped on him, as a result, most ribs were broken, and there was blood in the urine. About it reports The Telegraph.

Returning to the UK after the prisoners' exchange, John Garding said that he would be killed instead of torture, which had arranged fighters from the ORDLO. "If I knew how to treat us, I would have a sniper nest instead of being captured, and I would try to kill one of them before killing me," the Armed Forces fighter explained in an interview with journalists. Garding was captured in May, when his unit, which defended the surrounding Mariupol, was forced to surrender.

It was kept in three different prisons of the so -called "DNR", where the death sentence was approved. On Wednesday, he was liberated with other British: Sean Pinner, Eiden Eslin, Dylan Gili and Andrew Gill. It is reported that the former owner of FC Chelsea Roman Abramovich has to do before the release. According to Garding, a fighter of the Georgian Legion, the Russians treated the captives terribly. He was dressed on his head and his hands were squeezed behind his back.

Then a few people pounced on him who beat him for about half an hour, jumping and pushing his feet. "I thought," Kill me already. It should be reminded that many of the Ukrainian prisoners of war suffered cruel torture, this was reported in GUR. Most fighters have signs that they had to starve in captivity.
