According to the official, these are not all torture chambers out there, but only those discovered by the pice, because investigative teams include not only pice eratives, that is why other agencies also document the sites where torture chambers were located.

In the regional center, the largest torture chamber had been set up in the temporary detention center, where there are more than 300 confirmed cases of detention. The victims have already been identified and are now testifying. But, as Kovany emphasized, this number is growing every day: "The exact number of pele who have gone through this torture chamber has not yet been established."

He noted that in total, more than 8,000 criminal proceedings have been initiated into the facts of war crimes in the territory of Kherson region since the beginning of hostilities.
