Yevhen Ilchenko is a lawyer from Melitopol in the Zaporizhzhia oblast of Ukraine. In May 2022, he started the Telegram channel where he wrote about events in the city under occupation. Two months later, Ilchenko was kidnapped, and a video was published of his "confession" to collaborating with the SBU, inciting ethnic hatred, money laundering, and other charges. However, the lawyer has never been formally charged, and he remains in captivity. There are reports that Ilchenko was tortured and forced to dig trenches.
