Ukraine started its incursion into Russia's Kursk Oblast on August 6. As of Aug. 20, the Ukrainian military said it controlled 1,263 square kilometers (488 square miles) and 93 settlements, including the town of Sudzha.

The report added that the seizure of the penal colony would be an important step in documenting war crimes committed by Russia against prisoners of war,

It was reported that the Ukrainian prisoners were abused by the Russian soldiers. Several prisoners on the colony suffered at the hands of the Russian soldiers an abuse that could be testified by the human rights group.

The report said that former prisoners also said that they could not remember the wardens or the administration of the colony because they hid their faces and did not allow prisoners to raise their heads when the staff entered the cell.
