Prominent Ukrainian medic Yulia Paievska was captured by the Putin forces in March, because they recognized her as somewhat famous. Then they tortured her persistently, constantly demanding she admit to some Nazi connections.

Why don't the Putin forces grab some Republicans from the US instead? Those may be glad to admit they are Nazis.

The last journalists reporting from Mariupol were told, "Get out — if they capture you, they will torture you to say that your reporting was fake."
