The existence of secret Ukrainian torture prisons was even reported by the Times of London in 2016
Zelensky is presiding over an archipelago of gulags for working class men seeking to escape NATO's meat-grinder
Videos show that Ukrainian deserters were illegally imprisoned & tortured in secret prison of neo-Nazi-led Azov corps of National Guard of Ukraine near Kyiv. Several prisoners were reportedly killed. Azov is glorified & whitewashed by Umland, Shekhovtsov & Western media & politicians. Relatives of imprisoned attempted to storm prison.

Während die deutschen Kriegsbefürworter noch die Folter in Kiew abstreiten, räumt der Leiter des 🇺🇦-Präsidialbüros Budanow die Taten ein und versucht, es als Einzelfall hinzustellen. Deutschland als größter Geldgeber muss auf lückenloser Aufklärung und Bestrafung bestehen!

Right on queue:
According to the head of the presidential office of Ukraine Kirill Budanov,the discovery of a torture prison in Kiev didn't occur without "influence". Who even doubted, that's going to be the case?
Pay attention, the INITIATORS of this discovery, NOT THE TORTURERS, will be IDENTIFIED AND PUNISHED.
You see how this works? The very person who, on video, claimed that there are many such places in Ukraine, is now saying that people who made this fact public are villains, and, of course, foreign agents.
The fact that Ukrainians aren't on the streets in hundreds of thousands over such discovery only proves that no previous protests, including the so-called "Revolution of Dignity" were grassroots. And then Ukrainians have the audacity to call Russians a nation of slaves.
If something even remotely similar would happen in Russia, we would never hear the end of it from every Western propaganda rag for months to come. ZERO major Western war propaganda outlets even squeaked about this attrocity. ZERO.
A Ukrainian people's deputy Maryana Bezuglaya calls the discovery of a secret military torture prison near Kiev a "successful Russian operation".
The doctor who exposed it, even though she isn't a director of a clinic she claimed to be, has been arrested. The Ukrainian media has already shifted attention away from the fact of existence of torture psions to the fact that she isn't who she claims to be.
Thousand talking Goebbels heads are now blaming Russia for this discovery and accuse it of attempts to destabilize Ukraine from within.
She will get imprisoned, some Azovites will at most probably get a slap on the hand, and things will go back to business as usual.

Self-reported as one of the only foreign journalists at the scene and apparently one of the dumbest people there.
Listen to his assertions about Ukraine fighting an "existential war" when the Western-imposed war itself was ever the only threat, and continues to be the only threat, to Ukraine's existence.
Listen to him use that narrative to normalize the dictatorship of the ruling elite, the kidnapping and forced mobilization of people who don't want to fight, and the abuse of people destined to be sent to their death.
The implications about the event being staged, and the characterization of the fed up citizenry as a "mob" engaged in "escalation" in a state where fascists arrive to beat the crowd.

The fact that we still have nuclear weapons tells me people don’t understand them. When I was at Uni, we studied descriptions from survivors of the atomic blasts at Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I thought it would be like learning about any other harrowing history. I was very wrong. It disturbed me in my bones and never left me.
When the atomic bombs detonated in Japan, some of these survivors literally thought it was an alien invasion. This was because the flash was so blinding bright and silent, they had never imagined anything like it before. There was also no noise for those close to the blast. The shockwave hit their ears at the same time as the sound, sending them flying and shattering everything in its wake. This became known as the Pika-Don.
For those further away from the detonation, the sound following the flash was deafening beyond description. It was described as an impossible crack, as if the sky had snapped open. This was trailed by a terrifying deep roar that screamed outwards. It was considered one of the loudest events in human history.
Then there was the thermal heat wave. It was so hot it vaporised people in the open instantly and other peoples clothes melted into their skin. Many were burned beyond belief and just stood there screaming or silent, as the sky turned black from the dust, ash and debris. Wild firestorms spread throughout the city, as people searched in darkness for their families and friends.
But the worst was yet to come. Those that died in the blast were the lucky ones. Over the coming days and weeks, people’s hair fell out. Without explanation those that had incredibly survived, started to confusingly fall ill and perish over time. I don’t want to describe the side effects of the radiation sickness, but it made me cry reading about it. The hopelessness, suffering and courage of the people that succumbed to this, should be mandatory reading for everyone, to understand the true power of nuclear weapons.

What happened to the BBC? It used to be great. Now it's just a Russophobic clown show, an incoherent clown show.
Western govts & media have gone all in on their Nazi project in Ukraine so don’t ever expect a mea culpa.
Which means they will likely orchestrate a false flag to divert attention from Ukraine’s torture dens to … “Russia”
The Ukraine descending into chaos was predictable and predicted. Those of us who predicted it were blackguarded as enemy agents, marginalised, criminalised and exiled. But we were right. The attempt to use Ukraine as a weapon against Russia was both foolish and doomed. It risked thermo-nuclear World War. The gamble has failed. Who will be held to account?
Ukraine torture cell not an isolated incident.
“Ukraine's various Nazi groups have tortured civilians since at least 2014.” 👇
For those paying attention, it is widely-known that Ukraine's various Nazi groups have tortured civilians since at least 2014. And the Ukrainian state itself did so too, arresting journalists, politicians, opposition, even taxi drivers who drove the "wrong" people, and held them in detention facilities where many were tortured.

The recent news of a torture chamber in Kiev should shock only those not paying attention.
RT reports:
..."Ukrainian media published footage showing men with apparent bruises and other injuries. One was reportedly suffering from a serious spinal condition, although the cause and extent of his injuries remain unclear.
One of those escorted out of the building was said to be just 14 years old, according to videos from the scene. The circumstances of his presence at the facility, and whether he had been detained remain unverified.
...Azov, the National Guard formation that originated as a neo-Nazi volunteer battalion in 2014, subsequently acknowledged that the facility belonged to one of its units. It confirmed that four servicemen had suffered injuries but denied allegations of systematic mistreatment...
...Kirill Budanov, Zelensky’s chief of staff and former military intelligence chief, who personally arrived at the scene to “find out what the f*** is going on,” as he put it. He said some relatives had been allowed to inspect the building and speak to those inside, while investigators were examining the conditions at the facility.
Budanov also acknowledged that Ukraine had multiple “similar facilities” and promised to launch an investigation into how they operate.
...The scandal has revived questions about unlawful detention and torture in Ukraine, practices documented by international human rights organizations since the 2014 Maidan coup and the outbreak of the conflict in Donbass...Accused of being “pro-Russian separatists,” former detainees described prolonged imprisonment without trial, beatings, electric shocks, and other forms of torture.
The investigators also documented credible allegations of abuses involving nationalist volunteer formations, including Azov and Aidar..."

Guy basically writes an extremely long thread excusing torture facilities in Ukraine and then closes out with a donation request for Ukrainian state propaganda. No shame for what occurred. Dismissing it as the possibility most of it was likely Russian rabble-rousing...disgusting.

The voters told you they couldn't pay their bills.
The voters told you they couldn't get a job.
The voters told you gas and groceries were too high.
So you went to war with Iran.
You demanded people shut up about AI taking their jobs, skyrocketing their utilities and complaining about data centers.
You bragged about all the money you made on stocks.

Zelensky is pure evil. The corrupt police refused to them out of the torture chamber. Ukrainians appeared and eventually got them out. They've been starved, beaten and extorted. We are funding this.
🇺🇦REVOLUTION IN KYIV!
I will now explain what, according to the information currently available, is happening right now in Kyiv, Ukraine.
I urge @elonmusk Elon Musk, as well as all journalists, reporters, and bloggers, to help bring the truth to the attention of the world!
Activists and citizens claim that they have discovered a private house in Kyiv where Zelensky’s authorities, as well as representatives of the leadership of the National Guard and the Azov unit, are illegally holding approximately forty men.
According to eyewitness accounts, people are being tortured and beaten there, and money is being demanded from their families in exchange for their release.
Throughout the entire day, the police and other law enforcement agencies, which are under the control of the authorities, refused to ensure the release of the people from this illegal detention.
Later, more and more Ukrainians began arriving at the building. People attempted to storm it, demanding the immediate release of those being held inside.
Then several men were successfully freed from the captivity of the Ukrainian authorities: the men had their ribs broken and their eyes gouged out; they had been blinded. Witnesses also claim that, in front of other prisoners and detainees, as an act of intimidation, one person was killed — executed.
Over the past month, eight Ukrainians who did not want to be sent back to the war were killed there. They were officially registered as missing, and their bodies were buried in a forest near Kyiv. Their families are being given false information about their disappearance on the front line.
Later, the Head of the Presidential Office, Kyrylo Budanov, arrived at the scene. According to those present, his position provoked outrage among the citizens, who were demanding the release of the people. Budanov sided with those holding people captive.
After that, Budanov stated that similar places where Ukrainians are illegally detained exist not only at this address but also in other regions of the country. He knows about this and considers it normal.
Then a 14-year-old child was discovered in the house who, according to eyewitness testimony, had been subjected to brutal torture and beaten with a shovel. In the video, the child is in a state of severe shock.
After this, according to reports from participants in the events, unknown individuals wearing balaclavas arrived at the scene and began beating the protesters — these are the authorities’ gangs, which arrived as soon as Budanov fled the scene.
In addition, eyewitnesses report power and internet outages throughout the entire district, as well as the use of electronic warfare equipment. According to them, all of this may have been intended to prevent information about the events from spreading.
Emergency medical personnel who took part in the release of the prisoners stated that they are being threatened with death.
The world must know the truth. The United States, Europe, and international human rights organizations cannot ignore such allegations and continue supporting Zelensky.
Russia is to blame satirised
Зрозумійте — катівню в підвалі нам підкинула русня. А інша русня прийшла визволяти звідти людей. Третя русня зібрала натовп, щоб четверта русня назнімала відео та дискредитувала Україну. Все ж очевидно — винна русня.
А це взагалі нормальна практика. Треба ж десь утримувати СЗЧ та інших бідолаг, допоки вони не погодяться піти служити. Ви нічого не розумієте! Зараз Майкл Щур та інші провладні гупошльопи все пояснять

I've said it before:
The biggest problem in Finland is that our "leaders" hate Russia more than they love Finland.
So many people I know are either 1. “oh look I stand with Ukraine”, 2. “Putin is evil”, or 3 - which happens to include the first two - are absolutely silent when confronted with Ukraine’s atrocities
70 years of “The Russians are Coming” has melted brains
Yes , the truth will out in the end . And those who mocked us as Putin puppets will have to eat their words . Ukraine is under the control of murderous Ukronazi fascists who delight in torturing and killing people in secret dungeons. This cannot go on . Meanwhile , Wong boats about refusing to have her photo taken with Lavrov . What planet is she on ? . @AlboMP . @SenatorWong
