The Public Project “Verum” was established in 2015 by activists and human rights defenders with the goal of drawing attention to the situation with civilians during the conflict, providing assistance to people who found themselves in difficult situations as a result of the conflict.

A miraculously survived man told how they tried to kill him in Ukrainian captivity

If Alexandre Dumas lived in our time, he would have called his work not “The Count of Monte Cristo”, but “Officer Grek”.

This story might seem like fiction if it weren’t documented. While on a combat mission, Grek was captured by people who were going to respect neither him nor the laws of war. As a result, he endured several days of torture and then an execution, from which he miraculously escaped.

The story took a new turn when those who tortured and executed Grek surrendered to Russian soldiers. Grek had the opportunity to see his executioner again. But “Officer Grek” is not the “Count of Monte Cristo” obsessed with revenge. He found his strength to say, “God will forgive” and renounced revenge, looking into the eyes of his tormentor.

We would like to remind you that according to Article 17 of the Geneva Convention of 1949, “no physical or mental torture… may be inflicted on prisoners of war.”

Watch this video to the end, it’s where all the most interesting things are.
