Free Snizhana! Освободите украинских гражданских — незаконно увʼязнених цивільних!

Petition to free unlawfully detained Ukrainian civilian

‘Free Snizhana’ – free all the illegally detained civilians! On March 24, 2022, Snizhana’s twelve-year-old son, Sashko Radchuk, suffered an eye injury during the shelling of Mariupol. The only accessible medical workers were the Ukrainian military doctors stationed near the Ilyich Steel Plant (MMK), and Snizhana took her son there for treatment. On April 12, 2022, Russian military forces surrounded the plant. Together with the other civilians sheltering at the plant, Snizhana and Sashko left it and started moving in the direction of the areas controlled by Russian forces. At the filtration camp in the village of Bezimenne in the occupied areas of Donetsk region, Russian emergency services personnel seized Snizhana’s and Sashko’s smartphones and interrogated them about their place of residence, occupation, and family ties. On April 13, 2022, armed men in camouflage separated Snizhana from her son and took her to an unknown location. Sashko was transferred to a hospital in Donetsk, from where his grandmother later picked him up. Since then, the fate and whereabouts of Snizhana Kozlova remain unknown.

Regarding the agencies that should be helping my son. Regarding the ICRC—the situation is well known, I don't even want to repeat it in detail—I still have no confirmation from them that my son is in captivity. Regarding the UN, I received a response from them saying that if I already know where my son is and he has a lawyer, they can't help me in any way.

They put some kind of brace in my mouth. I never understood what it was for. They tilted my head back, pulled my cheek to the side, and with a file (a small file designed for very small and precise work. – Ed.) they filed down two of my teeth to the stumps. I think I lost consciousness 10 times.

After the “procedure,” the executioner brought me a small piece of plum cake to tease me. He knew that after having my teeth cut, I couldn’t eat sweets.

The detention of Andriy Varvarov from Zaporizhzhia and Vadym Nosan from Melitopol has also been officially confirmed by the ICRC. Despite this, the aggressor country refuses to return the men to their homeland, although they are being held there without any status or charge.  The volunteers were kidnapped in the Tokmat district while they were traveling to occupied Berdyansk to pick up their friends. The volunteers were held for some time in the infamous Olenivka colony, and then transported to places of detention in Russia. In the Donetsk region, they were subjected to torture and physical violence.

In general, in captivity, every person reveals himself to the fullest. If you are a dishonest and not good person, it is immediately visible. You can try to hide it as much as you want and consider yourself someone special, but in captivity, the truth will definitely appear among Russians. All feelings are heightened there, every omission, every look, every breath you take is seen by others. You cannot hide your insincerity there.

What can really help Ukrainians who are illegally held in Russia is spreading information about them around the world and creating a public demand for the return of the hostages.

In letters to her relatives, Iryna also spoke about other Ukrainian women who were abducted by Russia, some of whom are already dead. Tetyana Mudrenko was brutally raped and killed in Skadovsk, Kherson region . Tetyana Plachkova died from injuries resulting from torture in Melitopol. Natalya Rybalchenko, unable to withstand the cruel treatment of the Russians, hanged herself in a pre-trial detention center in the village of Pryazovske, Zaporizhia region.

To the President of Ukraine - Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine To the Head of the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine To the Minister of Reintegration of Ukraine To the Commissioner for Human Rights in Ukraine I, Iryna Volodymyrivna Gorobtsova, born on May 13, 1985, have been in Russian captivity since May 13, 2022. Today I take responsibility and publicly appeal to my Motherland on behalf of the captive Ukrainian women. At one time, each of us readily responded to a request for help from our country, which led to our being detained in the Russian Federation. Now we ourselves need help. That is why I am turning to those authorized by the Ukrainian people to protect the interests of every citizen of our state. We are begging for a civilian exchange and to include all Ukrainian women in Russian captivity. This is our SOS signal and we want to be heard, because we have waited too long for an opportunity to bring attention to us and our plight. Free Ukrainian women and return them home! Ukraine, my dear, help, save us! Your faithful daughters

This letter was sent by Gorobtsova’s relatives to various Ukrainian authorities: the Coordination Headquarters for the Treatment of Prisoners of War, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Office of the President, the National Information Bureau, and the Office of the Ombudsman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine for Human Rights. These institutions either forwarded it to other authorities or wrote that they would “take measures within their competence.”

According to civilians released from captivity, Ihor was first held in Kherson, then in Hola Prystan, and then transferred to Kalanchak. According to the latest information, he is being held in Chaplynka. Prisoners who have seen Igor Kolikhayev say that his physical condition is very poor: he is sick, frail, thin, and exhausted. He is not given food and is not allowed to share food with anyone. Ihor’s captors also do not provide him with warm clothes or medicine.
