As Artem, Kiselyov's son told UA.SOUTH, his father went on a hunger strike on October 27. The retired captain of the 1st rank of the Navy of Ukraine has been behind bars for more than three months. The Russian occupiers kidnapped him in Henichesk, took him to the Crimea, tortured him, and finally brought an absurd accusation.

After prolonged torture, Oleksiy's stomach ache doesn’t stop, and his right hand has lost its sensitivity. At the same time, he was never examined by a doctor. This is what forced the 58-year-old man to announce a protest hunger strike, which other arrested persons later joined.
