After admitting that there were "only" four torture victims in the building, Zelensky’s beasts proceeded to beat a 14-year-old who had come there to liberate them.

🇺🇦 NEXTA: Scandal near Kyiv. A private house used by the National Guard was holding servicemen. Relatives called an ambulance and were denied entry. Police first denied any hostages or injuries. Then a crowd formed, gates were allegedly attacked, foam and reportedly tear gas used at some point.
National Guard commander arrived and said four AWOL men were hospitalized, the rest were fine. Then Budanov shows up: “I came here to find out what the f*ck is going on.” He later said there were no more hostages.
A teenager born in 2011 was also found on the property.
Western coverage expected to be minimal.

This is insane.
🇺🇦 Ukrainian MP Artem Dmytruk posts footage of a 14-year-old being brought out of a National Guard facility near Kyiv, calling it one of many “torture chambers” where people are beaten and raped.
This is the same Petropavlivska Borshchahivka house tied to the Azov Corps. Officials later confirmed the site was used to hold AWOL and mobilized men. Four detainees had injuries requiring hospital. Budanov himself spoke to the minor on site.
When a sitting MP is reduced to circulating this from abroad, and the only response is an investigation after a crowd forces the doors open, the problem isn’t just the war. It’s what the government is doing to its own people.

What a fked up country, 8 people, 1 child have been reported kiIIed in the torture house owned by the National Guard and Azov.
Their bodies marked as "Missing", never to see their families again. One can only ask if this was an exposed human/organ trafficking site.
‼️🇺🇦 Illegal detainment center in Kiev.
Over 40 men, including a 14-year-old boy were held hostage for weeks by Ukraine's National Guard.
According to reports, most were conscripted soldiers who proved difficult to command. They were tortured and deprived of sleep.
A large crowd formed at the residence but we're dispersed by gun shots from Budanov's men.

🇺🇦 Azov corps tied to "unofficial prison" near Kiev, 14-year-old found in basement
The National Guard's 1st Azov Corps has effectively acknowledged running the site near Kiev, according to Ukrainian outlet Strana, which says this follows from the corps' own statement.
The corps says four soldiers detained for "disciplinary offenses" had injuries and were sent to hospital for examination. It adds that if illegal violence is established at the site, those responsible will face "just punishment."
Kirill Budanov, head of Zelensky's office, also arrived at the scene. "I came here to figure out what the f*** is going on," he said.
Budanov then spoke to a minor found in the basement, who said he was 14.
He has since told protesters to go home, saying there are "no more hostages in the house."
🇺🇦 National Guard admits holding AWOL soldiers at house near Kiev
Alexander Pivnenko, commander of Ukraine's National Guard, says the private house in Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka was used as a temporary site where mobilized soldiers were processed before being sent to a training center. He confirmed AWOL soldiers were held there, after police had denied anyone was being illegally held.
Journalists and officers from Ukraine's State Bureau of Investigation have now been let in to speak to the men. They say they weren't beaten and are fine, including one with an injured arm who says he did it himself. But video shows clear signs of beating on some of the men.
Bloodstains were also visible on a bed in the room where the AWOL soldiers were held. Medics said it was discharge from one man's intestinal stoma.
Pivnenko says four soldiers detained after going AWOL were taken to a National Guard medical center, while another 18 he saw inside were "fine." He says he is personally overseeing an internal investigation into possible violations, and defended taking soldiers' phones as a security measure..
Telegram channel Radar 24 claims, citing sources, that the National Guard's 13th Khartiya Brigade ran the house as an unofficial prison for AWOL soldiers and people being prepared for "buyouts," with local police and military recruitment officials also involved. Pivnenko denies Khartiya has anything to do with it.
Local residents and relatives say those held there were beaten and tortured. Hundreds gathered outside chanting "Shame!", and police were pelted with eggs.

🚨🇺🇦Civil war on the streets of Kyiv as police and military forces attack people who uncovered Zelensky's torture chambers, where kidnapped Ukrainians are being held.
The military and police are preventing people from freeing the poor victims and are even opening fire on the crowd.
Several Ukrainians have also reportedly died inside the dungeons as a result of torture.
Zelensky and the EU - YOUR HANDS ARE COVERED IN BLOOD!
🇺🇦 Near Kyiv, locals had to force open a private house used by the Azov-linked 1st Corps of the National Guard. It was holding AWOL and recently mobilized men. Azov’s own statement confirms the site belongs to them and that four detainees had injuries serious enough to require hospitalization.
A 14-year-old was found inside. Budanov showed up, spoke to the kid, and told the crowd there were “no more hostages.”
This is what forced mobilization looks like when the manpower runs dry. The unit that gets celebrated in Western media was running an unofficial holding facility on the outskirts of the capital — and only opened the doors under public pressure.

Time to bring it home! 47 has additional tele-rallies before Election Day
🇺🇸 Ohio Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Acton appears to slur her words in a new campaign video circulating on Election Eve.
In the clip posted by Eric Daugherty, Acton is heard speaking in a manner critics describe as heavily slurred and incoherent, with phrases trailing off into unintelligible remarks about “lies” and something that “never moved the needle.” Daugherty’s post labels it the latest instance of her appearing “drunk out of her mind,” pointing to a pattern of similar clips that have circulated throughout the race.
Acton, the former Ohio Department of Health director, is locked in a tight contest against Republican Vivek Ramaswamy to succeed term-limited Gov. Mike DeWine. The race has already featured repeated Republican attacks citing a 2019 police report in which Acton and her husband acknowledged drinking, with her campaign maintaining she had only one glass of wine and was taking prescribed migraine medication. With polls showing a close race heading into tomorrow’s election, the latest video has quickly become a flashpoint and called into question her suitability with chronic drunkenness being publicly acknowledged.
🇺🇸 Abdul El-Sayed snaps at reporters over Haley Stevens and other Democrats endorsing Mike Rogers.
Days before Michigan’s pivotal U.S. Senate election, Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed grew visibly frustrated when pressed about former primary rival Rep. Haley Stevens and other Democrats crossing over to support Republican Mike Rogers. Stevens, who narrowly lost the primary, appeared with Rogers at a Detroit church and publicly endorsed him after her campaign was told she was no longer welcome at El-Sayed events.
In the exchange captured on video, El-Sayed dismissed the questions as “distractions” and told the press he had already said what he needed to say. The late endorsements, including from Stevens and other Democratic officials, have underscored ongoing divisions within the party over Israel policy and candidate associations heading into Election Day.

🇺🇸 DOJ asks Supreme Court to block California from counting more than 20,000 likely noncitizen ballots.
United States citizenship confers the fundamental right to vote and have that vote counted equally. California has refused to work with the federal government to verify citizenship and prevent noncitizen voting, which dilutes the lawful votes of American citizens.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter announced that the Justice Department has filed an emergency application with the Supreme Court seeking an injunction requiring California to segregate mail-in ballots tied to more than 20,000 likely noncitizens until their citizenship can be confirmed. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stated that the action is necessary to preserve American elections for American voters only.
