This village used to be the last railway stop in northeastern Ukraine's Kharkiv region before crossing into Russia.
Passengers could exchange Ukrainian hryvnia for Russian rubles, grab a coffee and stretch their legs.
Now, the customs post is blown apart. The high-ceilinged train station is pock-marked with bullet holes. The steel tracks in front of the platform are twisted from explosions. And Ukrainian police say they found a torture chamber in the station's basement where Russians interrogated residents.

The Russian Army has always been cruel. One only need look at the atrocities committed against German and Eastern Europeans during the final Russian push in WWII.

"Did Ukrainian police find a Russian torture cell in Ukraine?
And Ukrainian police say they found a torture chamber in the station's basement where Russians interrogated residents. Bedding and sleeping bags in a basement where Ukrainian authorities say they found a torture cell used during the Russian occupation, in the retaken village of Kozacha Lopan on Saturday."
