A 14-year-old boy was found at a secret detention facility linked to Ukraine’s notorious Azov Corps near Kyiv amid reports of torture and unlawful imprisonment. Azov confirmed that one of its military units operated at the site, while presidential chief of staff Kyrylo Budanov acknowledged that ‘many similar buildings exist’, widening the already bizarre scandal. The look on that kid's face... I don't know he's coming back. Also the blond man. Further, fighters that get busified are being sent to fight in Iran and Africa. I won't be surprised if also to Israel, and used against other Levantine states.

    Russia is responsible for Ukraine's military torturing its own citizens?

    Now show the fuck tons of articles about how Russia has taken Ukrainian children. It’s only fair.

    Hey look at this! A pro Russian propagandist sharing an article about Ukraine doing something that they refuse to show Russia doing nearly every fucking day.

    This is what you said about us when we started complaining about Palestine. Be careful about libel.

    It certainly does.

    Good day, friends! I am Mikhail Kononovich, one of the leaders of the Association of Political Prisoners of Ukraine. I want to comment on the situation in Borščahivka, with its Azov torture chambers. Yes, let's call things by their names: these are torture chambers of the Zelensky regime.

    I want to address the people of Ukraine: Didn't you know that we have torture chambers in Ukraine? Throughout the entire territory of Ukraine? That people are herded together like animals and forced to do various things? Didn't you know that torture chambers have existed in Ukraine since 2014? And didn't you know – just like the European heads of state – that since 2022, torture chambers of the SBU (Security Service of Ukraine) have existed, since the start of the war? Political prisoners are tortured there.

    Should I remind you of the gymnasium, which everyone was talking about, where people were held for six months? Once to the toilet, once a piece of bread, that was all. They were kept and mistreated there like animals. Didn't you know anything about this? You knew about it.

    I, Mikhail Kononovich, have also experienced the torture chambers of the SBU – not secret ones, but open ones, which everyone knows about. Employees of the SBU, along with thugs, wanted to rape my 13-year-old daughter. I stated this under oath in court, in front of the whole world! And what do you think, that the regime knows nothing about this? It knows.

    And Volodymyr Novikov hanged himself in the Kyiv pre-trial detention center – don't you know about that? And people in the torture cells cut their veins – don't you know about that? And in the Kyiv pre-trial detention center, people are being robbed, people are having their dacha houses and apartments registered in other names? "Oh my God, is that true? It can't be!" Let me do a livestream from the Kyiv pre-trial detention center, you would go crazy there! That would be a show... Yesterday's show was still a kindergarten. Or should I do a livestream from the 86th Penal Colony for Political Prisoners in Vinnytsia, also known as Zelensky's concentration camp? The head of the colony is Dmytro Petryk, a staunch Nazi. He lines up the staff, the officers, and the workers and says: "Don't react to anything! Torture, kill, steal the money! I'll take the money to Kyiv, we don't care about anything, the main thing is the money." The prisoners work 12 hours, winding barbed wire, earning 190 hryvnias. They are fed like animals with stinky gruel. When a prisoner encounters Dmytro Petryk, the head of the colony in Vinnytsia, he must approach him, remove his headgear, and – do you know what he has to say? – "Sir, please excuse me." Damn it!

    Didn't you know that something like this is happening? I'll tell you: everyone knew everything and applauded. And why? Because they are afraid! Because otherwise, they themselves end up in prison. As soon as you start saying something, telling the truth, you end up in the Kyiv pre-trial detention center. I have been through the torture chambers, I know all this very well. My comrade and I have passed all this information on to Europe... We provided information. But as long as the regime is useful, please excuse me, we will continue to suffer here, in this... in this pigsty. We will eat each other, beat each other, kill each other, overturn cars, and the Tsar will continue to sit on his throne. Everything is fine, let's go.

    Wikipedia is an inherently biased pro-Western source. BBC is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The UN is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The United States Government is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The OSCE is an inherently biased pro-Western source. The Conversation is just a publication, that uses the UN report as its (inherently biased, pro-Western) source. The UN report itself provides no evidence for its claims. Throughout your sources is evident that no-one bothered to ask the Russians what's up with these allegations. So I'd concur this as whataboutism, as well as cope and seethe. Keep crying, fascist.

    You're putting words in my mouth.

    People like you don't seem to care about the truth. Or if other countries are lying about particular states. Or about dead children, unless it's convenient. Now that it's convenient (Palestine almost complete eradicated, Palestinians and babies mostly genocided) it's OK the western media report on it and people call out Israel.

    I suppose when all Russians are dead and Nazi Ukraine is thriving, you may notice the Nazis in Ukraine, like Western media did, until wealthy business men decided they don't.

    The 14 year old appears to have been involved in the protest, not originally in the building. Or at least he's wearing the same color pants and shoes as a protester.

    https://nitter.tiekoetter.com/SU_57R/status/2117397362532630924

    He was talking to some Ukrainian guy in a uniform before being escorted out with the weird look on his face. A family member was coming to pick him up. Surgery is mentioned, but unclear to me whether it was saying he didn't need surgery or he's not going to have it performed immediately so get him out of here.

    Here are videos in which this guy himself confirms that he was among the protesters, was seized by detention facility staff and beaten, and is currently undergoing medical treatment for a rib injury: https://t.me/ZeRada1/32905

    It's certainly interesting that protesting is fine aa long as it's not: Palestinians resisting genocide (until it suddenly was), Ukrainians protesting busification.

    Certainly it's fine when instigated by CIA, Mossad, other proxies. Not Tunesiens with a single tomato to sell that was knocked to the ground and ruined. Not Bolivians taking back water rights from Bechtel.
