❗ Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Office in Geneva, Ambassador Gennady Gatilov’s comment regarding the use of torture in Ukraine: 📍 November 3, 2026, Geneva 🔹The attention of the international community has been drawn to media reports concerning the discovery of what can only be described as a medieval-style torture chamber near Kiev, where armed militants were forcibly holding around 40 people, including a minor. According to available information, detainees held in this secret Ukrainian prison – most of whom had been seized during raids conducted by Ukraine’s Territorial Centers of Recruitment (TCRs, the system of bodies responsible for carrying out mobilization measures in Ukraine) – were subjected to prolonged violent abuse. Some of them have died. 🇺🇦 It is no secret that modern-day Ukraine is descending into a dark era, in which human life, honour and dignity are worth nothing for the Zelensky's bloodthirsty regime. The neo-Nazis who seized power in the 2014 coup d’état have long since abandoned any semblance of humanity, committing crimes on a daily basis against not only the peaceful Russian population but their own citizens too. Their actions will not go unpunished. 🔹 I would recall that, under international law, the prohibition of torture is absolute. ⁉️ Where, then, is the appropriate response from the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, and where are the indignant condemnations from the relevant special procedures of the Human Rights Council, which routinely churn out hastily prepared anti-Russian diatribes? Why are they turning a blind eye now to the egregious, inhumane crimes committed by Kiev? ☝️ I demand that these UN officials and experts, who cloak themselves in the mantle of champions of justice, publicly condemn the lawlessness taking place in Ukraine. The silence of these so-called "human rights defenders" is tantamount to open complicity and participation in the horrific crimes of the neo-Banderites. ❗️ There is one more noteworthy detail. During his visit to a spontaneous protest against the ongoing abuses, Budanov, the head of the office of the president of Ukraine (included on the Russian list of terrorists and extremists) repeatedly switched to Russian while speaking with people there. Let me recall that since 2014, the Kiev regime has been waging a campaign against everything associated with Russia, including the Russian language. 👉 The fact that high-ranking Ukrainian officials, when speaking without a pre-prepared script, instantly forget their native “mova” (Ukrainian language), once again underscores their hypocrisy and the contrived nature of their attempts to eradicate the Russian language in Ukraine. #KievRegimeCrimes
