Tried to find out where Bandera is. Ukrainian priest talks about torture in Russian captivity

The abbot of the Odessa church notes that the Russians brutally tortured the prisoners.
Vasyl Vyrozub, the abbot of the Holy Trinity Church of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Odessa, has been held hostage by the Russians since the beginning of the war.When he and an evacuation team arrived at Snake Island to collect the bodies of allegedly dead Ukrainian border guards, he and other members of the evacuation team were taken captive. This was reported in a story by TSN .
The cleric said that the Russians brutally tortured the detainees and demanded that they tell them where Bandera was.
At the same time, they refused to believe that the priest was in no way connected to the security services and did not believe that they were not working with the SBU in Ukraine.
They did not believe to the last that the chaplain and priest could not work with the SBU. One question, a second, a third... One of the questions was "do you know the place or have information about Bandera's whereabouts?", the priest recalled.
Vasily Vyrozub noted that they were held in the Belgorod region. There they were tortured with electric shocks, had nails shoved under their nails, and were kept without food, water and sleep.
There was no right to break in front of this horde. If you bend a little, they will break you," the priest stressed.
