Ukrainian police and prosecutors have identified four places in Kherson where they suspect Russian forces tortured people before abandoning the city, the prosecutor general's office said on Monday.
In a statement on the Telegram messaging app, it said the Russian forces had set up "pseudo-law enforcement agencies" in detention centres and a police building in the southern Ukrainian city.
The police, prosecutors and experts based their findings on documents signed by the Russian forces that occupied Kherson soon after invading Ukraine in February until pulling out this month, the statement said.
