Broadcast of the entire meeting

💬 In the Kiev-controlled frontline areas, an entire network of “secret prisons” has been established, euphemistically referred to as “transit camps” in reports by international human rights organisations. Human rights defenders know about them but have no access to them.

As a rule, these facilities are concealed within guarded compounds of Ukrainian formations, which neither foreign inspectors nor human rights defenders are officially permitted to enter.

⚠️ There, sadists, militants and security personnel concealed behind masks and balaclavas operate with impunity on behalf of Ukrainian agencies such as the Main intelligence directorate (GUR), the Security service of Ukraine (SBU) and other investigative bodies.

Each is tasked with using any means necessary to “extract” the desired testimony from a captive or force them to cooperate under threat of death.

The total number of civilians killed or injured at the hands of Ukrainian militants since February 2022 has now exceeded 36,000. This figure rises by 300-400 every week.

As of the beginning of last week, the number of civilians killed by Kiev’s formations stood at 9,089.

There has also been a catastrophic increase in deliberate attacks by Ukrainian militants on children.

❗️ Since the beginning of this year alone, 484 children have suffered injuries or been maimed. 72 of them have died. In August alone, 101 children were killed or injured.

Kiev has resorted to crimes previously considered beyond the pale even by the most hardened monsters.

The allocation of vast sums specifically for Ukraine to purchase drones of various types has unleashed a war on transport targeting the civilian population.

Alongside crimes already routinely committed by Kiev’s militants, such as attacks on private vehicles, there are now systematic strikes on high-capacity passenger buses.

For at least three years, Kiev’s armed formations have been striking the long-suffering city of Alyoshki every hour.

For three years, shelling has left the city without electricity or a centralised water supply, and with virtually no communications.

Almost every attempt to restore communications infrastructure is soon followed by a devastating strike from the Ukrainian side.

Despite their professed concern for the people of Alyoshki, Ukrainian militants have mined every access road to the city.

👉 Drones constantly patrol the two main roads, striking any vehicle attempting to reach the city – from private cars to ambulances.
