[Witness spoke in Ukrainian, interpreted as follows:]
Hello. My name is Vladyslav and I'm 17 years old.
Today my mom, Tetiana, is here. She went through all the horrors with me, and she can tell you a lot.
I was taken on October 7 to Yevpatoriya, to the camp called Druzhba, or “Friendship”. They imposed a pro-Russian position on me, and I was annoyed by it. At some point, I took the Russian flag off the flagpole, and I was put in a punishment cell for a week. I spent a week with no communication and no phone. Nobody was allowed to go in and speak with me. I had suicidal thoughts in there.
After that, I was taken to the Kherson region, to the Lazurne village. I spent six months there. I was playing soccer with the other boys, and a Chechen officer came up and said, “Where are the girls?” I told him where they were. He went back. He spoke with the girls. Then he came up to me, because at one point I said, “Our girls are not suitable for you.” When he tried to approach me.... I did sports, so I tried to resolve everything peacefully. He started moving towards me, and I understood he had more advantages than I did. He was stronger. He could even kill me and say it was due to my pro-Ukrainian position. After that, I fled home.
My friend was supposed to go home in two days. His mom was coming to pick him up, so he asked me to give him a tattoo. When his mom came, they took everybody in the camp into a room and videotaped us. They made us take off all our clothing except for the underwear. They made us videotape apologies for this tattoo.
Then they found a message on my phone where my sister jokingly called me a separatist. I was taken away to an unknown location. I spent 20 minutes there. He said that if I ever wrote anything in Ukrainian or to Ukrainians, he would speak to me in a whole different manner. I heard screams. After that, he showed me a photo of my father. My father is a soldier in the armed forces of Ukraine. He said I cannot write to my father at all.
When you're in Russia in the occupied territory, you have no rights. You can't do what you want. You can't do the right thing. You cannot admit you're Ukrainian. You cannot say you love Ukraine.
Right now, I want to do professional sports.
Thank you for listening to me.
