She was interrogated, humiliated, and beaten. For several weeks, her family did not know whether she was alive. A primary school teacher, she had never imagined she would be subjected to torture in Russian captivity. Today, she receives psychological support and is slowly trying to find her way back to life.<\/p><p>The help she needs to rebuild comes from a Mental Health Center, located in a forest about a 30-minute drive outside Kyiv.<\/p><p>The entrance is made of glass, and next to it stands a multi-storey white building housing up to 200 patients. Many of them are soldiers or civilian Ukrainians who have survived imprisonment and torture, or who have lost limbs since Russia\u2019s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Some of the men are dressed in their military uniforms. The quiet here stands in stark contrast to the noise and air raid sirens of the capital, Kyiv. The place is filled with the presence of the complex stories carried by those inside.<\/p><p>In the Mental Health Center, we meet 56-year-old Natalia. It has been nearly two years since she was arrested by Russian forces, who accused her of being a spy.<\/p><p>\u00bbThey believed I was relaying information about troop movements. I still can\u2019t understand why they targeted me\u00ab, she says.<\/p><p>She was taken away and held in captivity for several days. She was interrogated, shouted at, and beaten to make her confess.<\/p><p>\u00bbAfter the interrogations, they stripped me. They threatened to send me to a desolate area full of landmines. And later, when I tried to fall asleep, they would wake me\u2014 to humiliate me\u00ab, Natalia says.<\/p><p>Natalia is one of thousands of Ukrainians who have been subjected to torture, other inhumane treatment, and detention by Russian forces.

But also, because our approach is holistic, offering several different forms of treatment simultaneously\u00ab, says Tetiana Maletska.<\/p><p>It\u2019s not just about treatment. The organization Blue Bird also helps collect and document cases of war crimes through their legal advisors. She explains that knowing legal action may one day be taken against their perpetrators is an essential part of the victims\u2019 rehabilitation.<\/p><p>Several international organizations have published reports on the escalating violence against civilians in Ukraine. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ohchr.org\/sites\/default\/files\/documents\/countries\/ukraine\/2024\/2025-06-30-pr42-ukraine-en.pdf\">Since February 2022, the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has documented<\/a> that numerous Ukrainian civilians have died because of torture, lack of medical care, or inhumane conditions in both official and unofficial prisons and detention centres in Russian-occupied areas and in Russia itself.<\/p><p>As more soldiers and civilians return from the frontlines or are released in prisoner exchanges, the need for specialized support for those coming back with physical and psychological injuries is growing.<\/p><p>\u00bbWe will need far more psychologists and other healthcare professionals in the future.

On the contrary, they give me hope. I am inspired when I see someone who has survived all of this and still fights on for themselves and their family. Some people take up painting, others learn foreign languages, try to start their own business, or pursue a new profession. \u00a0Stories like these show me the strength that exists in survivors of torture. We must not lose hope.

The organization has intensified its work during the war, offering psychological counseling, trauma treatment, and legal assistance to Ukrainians who have been subjected to gender-based violence and war crimes. In addition, they work on rehabilitation and support for internally displaced people.<\/p><p>\u00bbOver the past year, the situation has become even worse.

Their traumas run deeper, and we are also seeing more serious mental health issues among the general population\u00ab.<\/p><p>Halyna Skipalska has worked with psychosocial health in Ukraine for years, but she does not hesitate to emphasize that the past year has been one of the toughest so far.

Many are exhausted, afraid, or coping with personal losses, and that affects how well we can support others.

But I haven\u2019t lost hope. I believe Ukraine will be free, independent, and part of Europe. That\u2019s what keeps us going and unites us.
