"A perforated fracture is found on the right parietal bone, one could say of an ideal shape in the form of an elongated oval with rounded fracture ends and relatively smooth fracture edges. This may indicate that it was not formed by a metal fragment, but, for example, by the action of a blunt object with a limited contact surface, which will be confirmed or not by additional laboratory research, namely forensic research."

8. SOUNDBITE (Ukrainian) Inna Padei, forensic expert:
"On a significant percentage of the total number of bodies transferred to us under the procedure of repatriation of probable prisoners of war, we find and record bodily injuries in the form of bruises, abrasions, wounds of various ages, as well as traces of the application of electric currents, which may not have caused the death, but indicate the use of force and torture to our servicemen. We also record pathological conditions on internal organs, which allows us to establish the causes of death precisely from diseases. We also sometimes record old fractures that are not properly consolidated, which have grown together incorrectly and the limb cannot fully perform its function, which indicates the improper provision of medical care in those institutions where the servicemen were."

That is, during the period of his stay there (in captivity), either he was subjected to violence and was deliberately deprived of his life, or the conditions in which he was, this is related to the provision of treatment, with appropriate nutrition, temperature regime, and so on, led to his death."
