Sky's international correspondent Alex Rossi meets with a former Ukrainian prisoner of war who takes him to the jail he was locked up in. He says he was tortured and beaten daily.
Valery was a successful businessman before he was arrested when he resisted as soldiers stole his trucks from his factory.
But what the Russians didn't know was their crimes were recorded on CCTV as they looted his office and drove away with his vehicles.He shows me the images on his phone. They clearly show the soldiers filling bags with valuables and computing equipment.Each image is dated - it all happened in March shortly after the invasion when they captured Kherson city.But surprisingly Valery considers himself lucky as, he says, other inmates were tortured far worse.
"They were tortured severely. They were electrocuted. They were suffocating people in water. They cut people. They were doing things that I can't imagine how any human being could do. We were praying that Ukraine would return to Kherson as soon as possible.What happened in this building during the Russian occupation is only now coming to light."I heard everything, it was terrifying.
"There could be shelling from the left bank. We were warned about that. We were told we need to look for shelter, if not, at least to try to hide in a safe part of the house." You can still feel the intoxicating atmosphere of liberation but people are weary and they are fearful of what comes next.
