We are talking about a paramedic of the medical unit of the correctional colony No. 10 of the Department for the Execution of Sentences in the Republic of Mordovia, Russia.

According to the investigation, the suspect tortured wounded Ukrainian soldiers held in a local prison – Sorokin was nicknamed "Dr. Evil" by his captors for his brutal torture.

In particular, law enforcement officers documented that under the guise of a "medical examination," the occupier used a stun gun on the prisoners, causing them to lose consciousness or temporarily paralyze various parts of their bodies.

The SSU also notes that the paramedic deliberately left prisoners in detention without painkillers and bandages.

The special service notified Sorokin in absentia of suspicion under the article on war crimes. The maximum sentence is 12 years in prison.

"Since the offender is on the territory of the Russian Federation, comprehensive measures are underway to find and punish him," the agency summarized.

  • In early November, the SSU announced suspicion in absentia a native of the Luhansk region, who carved a "Z" symbol on the forehead of a Ukrainian prisoner of war.
