According to Skiba, terrorists was focusing on Facebook and they searched for him.

"They had me orienteering printed. They were looking for me specifically because of the post to Facebook. There was a post about that for bombing to be over, not necessarily ATO bombing. A paste up of leaflets in Donetsk with text, that for every minister and all partiesare declared outside the law by DNR - a reward of 20 thousand euros.

This was the main reason for the accusation that I had proposed for the head Minister of the DND 20 thousand euros. This was the main line of their charges in my beating. All the other questions that were on my journalistic work, they have more," said the journalist.

Skiba doe not remember the circumstances of how he was transported after being beaten in the SBU building because he was semi-conscious. According to him, the main thing in this building was a man by the name of the Abwehr.

"During the beating, they called me a "terrorist," "spy" and asked for someone to give the information, who are my advisors," - said Skiba.

In addition, the terrorists gained access to my account 'Skiby' on Facebook and Twitter, where they read his correspondence.

"They got access to my Facebook and Twitter accounts for a few days. They looked at my correspondence, wondering and asked who this is and who this is," - said the journalist.

After the beating, said Skiba, he was kept under normal conditions. He sat in the basement, along with other prisoners.

One of the conditions of blocking release was talking to journalists from LifeNews after beaten.

After talking to Anton, Russian journalists took him on neutral territory, where his parents were waiting, and he and his parents left the Donetsk region.

And that's why the freelance journalist wishes he'd stayed in his pajamas with a cup of hot chocolate.
