Clumsy Russian soldiers brutally torture ‘Ukrainian spy’, threaten him with rape and try to rip off his ear with pliers… only to realize he’s a staunch supporter of Putin

Russian soldiers showed their brutality when they caught a suspected Ukrainian spy on a motorcycle near a major airbase.

Four masked military thugs held Ruslan Khamatov at gunpoint and marched with him for interrogation with a bag over his head. He is wearing blue in video footage of the troops leading him away.

They then tortured him using pliers in an attempt to tear off his ear, it is claimed.

The 40-year-old was beaten, causing a broken eye socket and ribs, as well as a broken nose, as they tried to extract a confession.

But they got the wrong man: they used their brutal torture against loyal Putin backers, while at the same time demonstrating the bestiality they are capable of.

“They hit me on the forehead with a (pistol) butt, pulled my ear with pliers and broke my ribs,” he revealed to Russian news channel Sota.

‘They threatened to rape me, to stick a stun gun in my anus, to cut off my testicle.

“They found out I was divorced and said that meant I was gay.”

He said: ‘The first blow with a tactical glove hit me in the face, my nose was broken, I was bleeding, I covered my face and pushed myself to the ground, and then they kicked me.

“And they kept pulling me out, talking to me, asking me questions, torturing me, and then this senior officer said, ‘You have two ways.’

‘The shortcut – now you tell everything as it is, you confess it to us and we let you go, we don’t torture you.

“And on the second one they start threatening you that we will cripple you and cut off your testicle.”

‘They called it torture – ‘a stun gun in your anus, there’s blood, sweat, well, total intimidation.’

Kneeling in a pool of blood, he was forced to unlock his smartphone.

His protests of innocence were futile and he was falsely accused of cutting a hole in the fence of the Dyagilevo military airport.

They found a Ukrainian channel on his phone, but it was resolutely pro-Russian.

The remaining contents of his cellphone were pro-war and showed that he was a supporter of dictator Vladimir Putin.

Realizing their mistake, they called the Russian traffic police, but not to report their own barbaric violence.

They demanded that Khammatov lie to them that he had fallen from his motorcycle.

Police agreed to the cover-up and fined the man for riding the motorcycle without license plates – which he had just bought and was testing when he was held by the military torturers.

He was then placed in an ambulance and sent to a hospital, where his wounds were documented.

“I was stopped by a group of four men in military uniform and balaclavas,” said Khammatov, who is now seeking justice for the incident.

‘They introduced themselves as a rapid response team, stopped me and pointed Kalashnikovs at me.

‘They checked my documents and telephone number, took the motorcycle and guided me.

‘No evidence of any guilt was presented to me, they beat me…’
