Valentyna, the woman who exposed a secret Azov detention facility near Kyiv, is explaining to journalists in court why she went there in the first place. She went there to save a man's life. She was asked to help by a woman named Tetiana, who has also been arrested (!). The man was in critical condition and desperately needed medical attention. He had recently undergone surgery. He had a stoma — part of his intestine had been surgically brought out through an opening in his abdomen. On top of that, he was suffering from five other serious medical conditions. And despite all this, he was being held there against his will, by force. Valentyna went there as a medical professional, trying to rescue a man who urgently needed help. She had no idea the place was an alleged secret Azov detention facility. And now, because this involves the untouchable, "elite" Azov, she is the one they are going to crucify. She is the one they will persecute. She is the one they will try to blame for everything. Not the people who held men captive by force. Not the people who were beating them. Not those responsible for what happened inside that facility. No. The woman who came to help a seriously ill man is the one being treated as the criminal. Do you understand the sheer perversity of this?

A 14-year-old boy who was beaten in a secret Azov prison near Kyiv has been added to the Myrotvorets hit list. No, not his abusers — the boy himself. He is accused of: 📌“Actions aimed at undermining Ukraine’s defense capabilities and disrupting mobilization efforts in the interests of the Russian fascist invaders.” 📌“Incitement to attacks against Ukrainian military personnel.” 📌“Attacking Ukrainian military personnel with the aim of inflicting bodily harm and destroying military property.” 📌“Obstructing the lawful activities of Ukraine’s Defense Forces in protecting the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.” If I were his mother, I would take my child out of this fascist country, leave for somewhere else, and immediately seek political asylum to save Oleksii’s life. Zelenskyy’s regime is a criminal mafia, propped up by Azov militants armed to the teeth with NATO’s latest high-tech military toys. Slava Ukraini?!

Azov immediately mobilized its radicals. They arrived at the protest outside the alleged unofficial prison in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, near Kyiv, where men had reportedly been beaten, and began attacking protesters. A UNIAN journalist was also struck.

Azov commander Denys Prokopenko, aka Redis, has finally come to his senses — and promptly accused those who exposed Azov’s secret prison in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, near Kyiv, of “working for the Kremlin,” “smearing the military,” and “sabotage.” See how beautifully this works? The villains aren't the ones committing war crimes against their own citizens — torturing and maiming men who refuse to die, kill, or obey suicidal orders. No, no. The real criminals are the victims. Now we're just waiting for the cherry on top: “high treason” charges for the whole lot. And who was it that said Azov holds no power in Ukraine? Oh, it does. And that power comes courtesy of Brussels — generously funded and conveniently overlooked. Slava Ukraini!?
