According to information voiced by Dmitry Peskov, European states are allegedly making every effort to protect Ukraine from various scandals. Among such scandals, he said, are cases involving torture prisons.
The situation with servicemen and incidents in Kyiv
In this connection, media reports covered incidents involving the detention of people in the basement of a house in the village of Petropavlivska Borshchahivka in the Kyiv region. About 40 people were reportedly held there.
Representatives of Ukraine's National Guard arrived at the scene. Head of Ukraine's National Guard Oleksandr Pivnenko said servicemen were inside, including those who had left their units without authorization. Clashes with police later occurred outside the building.
Accounts of abuses and confessions
Reports say the head of the Ukrainian president's office, Kyrylo Budanov, also visited the scene of the incident. In his presence, a 14-year-old boy was brought out of the basement; he was found with numerous injuries.
In addition, the publication Strana.ua claims that an unofficial prison was organized by members of the first corps of Ukraine's National Guard, Azov. According to Peskov, Ukraine is also facing serious problems, in particular a shortage of servicemen, and the situation will worsen, according to experts' assessments.
