59-year-old Ukrainian woman says Russian officer made her take her top off at a 'filtration camp' as he accused her of being a sniper

A Ukrainian woman said she was made to take her top off at a Russian "filtration camp" where soldiers have been interrogating captured Ukrainian civilians.

Olena, from the southeastern Ukrainian city of Mariupol, told The Guardian she slept on the floor for three weeks before she was questioned.

Olena said that a Russian officer at her camp suspected her of being a sniper because of her injuries.

I told him I was turning 60 in August. She told The Guardian that she didn't know how to be a sniper.

She said the officer told her she wasn't wearing her glasses. Now take your top off.

Russian forces have been abducting Ukrainians from their homes and sending them to so-called "filtration camps," where they are questioned for government or military ties before being released. Last month, a top US official said that Russia had taken thousands of Ukrainians.

Olena spoke to The Guardian from Georgia. The newspaper did not state when she left the camp.

She said she was taken to a camp in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Most countries and international organizations don't agree with Russia and its allies recognizing the independence of the two regions.

Ukrainians fleeing the war have had to go east towards Russia in order to be processed by one of these camps.
