ABCThe sights, the sounds and the smells were almost unbearable. Colonel Bolvinov says his team is looking into crimes including murders, air strikes on the civilian population, "collaborative activities" and torture. The ABC was one of the first international news outlets permitted to access the Izium police station — a building used as a torture chamber during Russia's occupation. Ben Strick, the director of investigations at CIR, said: "Investigators from our Eyes on Russia team have compiled strong evidence about which pro-Russian military units were based at or near torture sites in occupied Izium." "Police investigators continue to investigate war crimes, document and identify war criminals of the Russian Federation and/or the so-called LPR/DPR," he says.
