A UKRAINIAN marine was electrocuted through his genitals by a Russian torturer known as “Dr Evil”.
Yuri Hulchuk, 23, was brutalised in a hellhole jail and has lost the ability to speak or laugh after the savage treatment during his two-year capture.

Footage caught the heartbreaking moment the soldier was reunited this month with his mother Milana Kompaniiets after a prisoner swap.
Yuri can be seen looking sceptically at his mother as she hugs him, almost as if he doesn’t recognise her.
The very thin Yuri embraces his mother stiffly and he appears to not enjoy the hug and having his head stroked.
He does not respond as she tells him: “We love you, we really love you…
“Without you, we didn’t have a life…
“You are our son, our joy, our pride, our love.”
Yuri was captured on April 12, 2022, as he was defending Mariupol from the Russian attack.
During his imprisonment he passed through several Russian prison colonies, Ukrainian media reported.
One particularly cruel guard at a colony was known by the PoWs as “Dr Evil”.
Milana found that her son was beaten by guards and had a stun gun used on his legs so often by the notrorious torturer he became almost paralysed.
The toll on his body was so severe he lost the ability to speak and use his legs.
Milana said: “I think (he suffered) a stroke from the beating.”
“My son spoke English, Chinese, and Polish fluently and was very talkative, and after all that, not being able to speak…”
She heard from his cellmates that he had been selected for particularly brutal treatment.

She said: “They used electric shocks on his genitals, and his legs were paralysed.
“When I found out, all I could do was cry and scream.”
Her son had insisted on leaving university and joining the 36th Marine Brigade against her wishes, she said.
He was eventually exchanged on 14 September after being captured in the first months of the war defending Mairupol.
When he was first released he managed to type on a smart phone during a call to his mother, saying: “Mama is as beautiful as always.”
He said his father was “as grey haired as before”.
A mother’s search for her son
Milana spent two years searching for evidence her linguist son was alive after he vanished in the April 2022 fall of the Illich steel plant in Mariupol.
Eventually, she found a photograph of PoWs in Russia where she recognised his changed face.
Then she found from exchanged prisoners that he was alive, but also heard about how he had been horrifically tortured.
She personally met those freed in exchanges but Russia and eventually found a Ukrainian national guardsman who had shared a cell with her son in a harsh penal colony in Moldavia.
“We talked every day for hours. I learned things that I, as a mother, shouldn’t have known,” she said.
She said: “I never understood why Ronald Reagan called the Soviet Union the ‘evil empire.’
“Now we all understand. In Russia, they are extracting the animal from people. They want to eliminate all of humanity.”
When she saw his picture he was “a complete stranger to me” after the horrors he had faced.
His cellmate confirmed her son had been picked out for brutal torture.
“The boys tried to talk to him, but he could not say a word,” she said.
“I don’t know if his speech centre is impaired or something (is wrong) with the muscles of his mouth or throat.”
Satellite pics show huge crater at Putin’s doomsday Satan nuke launch site

STARTLING satellite images show a huge crater at Vladimir Putin’s doomsday Satan nuke launch site after a “major blast during a failed test”.
They give an eerie glimpse into the total destruction of the tyrant’s biggest missile, nuclear capable RS-28 Sarmat – known in the West as Satan-2.
A giant crater is seen at Plesetsk cosmodrome in northern Russia – the result of a supposed catastrophic overnight failure of a test launch.
Green summer foliage has been vaporised as a crater is formed by what is reported as a massive explosion.
Analyst MeNMyR said: “As is readily apparent, the RS-28 Sarmat test was a complete failure.
“The missile detonated in the silo leaving a massive crater and destroying the test site.
“The Sarmat is a liquid fuelled missile so this accident could have occurred separate from the actual launch activity.”
It would be the fourth failure of a Satan-2 test, of which there is only one known success, which Putin oversaw in April 2022.
