Russia uses torture and illegal imprisonment of civilians as weapon of war - Prosecutor General KostinNews Censor.NET War in Ukraine
Censor.NET ^ | 26.02.24 23:00 | Prosecutor General Kostin

Posted on 02/26/2024 10:45:38 PM PST by UMCRevMom@aol.com

At the International Platform for the Release of Civilians Illegally Detained by the Russian Federation, Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin said that 204 people have been served with suspicion notices in Ukrainian criminal proceedings regarding the illegal deprivation of liberty of civilians, 158 people are being tried in courts, and 33 people have been convicted.

Prosecutor General Andrii Kostin took part in the launch of the International Platform for the Release of Civilians Illegally Detained by the Russian Federation. This is an important step in the implementation of the Fourth Point of the President's Peace Formula. It aims to unite efforts to rescue thousands of Ukrainian civilians who have been abducted by Russia and are currently in captivity.

As noted, the first meeting of the International Platform, organized by the Office of the Ombudsman of Ukraine, was attended by President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine Andrii Yermak, Prime Minister of the Republic of Bulgaria Nikolai Denkov, as well as more than 50 participants from different countries and international organizations.

"As of today, 204 people have been notified of suspicion in Ukrainian criminal proceedings on illegal deprivation of liberty of civilians, 158 people are being tried in courts, and 33 people have been convicted," said Andrii Kostin.

The Prosecutor General noted that despite the ongoing work within the framework of national investigations and cooperation with a wide range of international partners and the public sector, there is still no effective international mechanism to ensure the return of civilian detainees to their homeland. This requires coordinated international efforts at the governmental level.

"The international community clearly sees and understands that Russia is using torture and illegal deprivation of liberty as a weapon of war. I firmly believe that the Platform established today will become a platform for developing effective solutions. We will not stop until all Ukrainians abducted by the aggressor return home," he added.

Civilians should not use the Crimean Bridge. New surprises await the enemy, states Kyrylo Budanov, Head of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine.

According to Budanov, we owe the successes of Ukrainian soldiers in Crimea to the inhabitants of the peninsula, whose resistance to the enemy has not ceased over the past ten years of war with Russia.

The Defense Intelligence chief explained that for successful defense and counteroffensive, Ukraine must control the Black Sea and Crimea.

All previously set tasks have been accomplished. Russia lost a quarter of its ships and was forced to withdraw its fleet to the Caucasus coast. The enemy has also redeployed its aviation, as Crimean airfields and military facilities are constantly under our fire.

“We owe our success to the residents of Ukrainian Crimea, who not only strengthened their resistance to the occupiers but also found the opportunity to monitor the entire operational situation on the peninsula and pass this information to us as soon as possible,” Budanov added.
Ukraine has also fulfilled another promise - in 2023, our Special Forces officers visited Crimea.

“New surprises await the enemies, and I would not recommend civilians to use the so-called “Crimean” bridge,” the head of Ukrainian intelligence said.

The Crimean Bridge, illegally built by the occupiers, has been hit at least twice. In October 2022, powerful explosions occurred on the bridge, causing significant damage. The head of the Security Service of Ukraine, Vasyl Malyuk, confirmed that it was an operation of his special service.
In addition, in July 2023, there was another attack on the Crimean Bridge. Two spans were destroyed. Malyuk also confirmed the Ukraine’s involvement in this attack and noted that it was organized with the help of Sea Baby drones.

--- "Anything from censor.net is 100% Ukranian propaganda. And I say that even though I hate Russia."

In addition to posting Ukrainian government sources, these threads post monetized YouTube videos, one purporting to be "from Ukraine."

Repeatedly proven "Reporting from Ukraine" reports from these United States, and merchandises through a US website linkage with support from China. Source: RFU links to uasuppoter.com which links to goldenheart/store

Interestingly, as to the thread's first post, simple curiosity about "International Platform for the Release of Civilians Illegally Detained by the Russian Federation" shows that this entity was created YESTERDAY:

On February 26, as part of the implementation of the fourth point of the Peace Formula of Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine launched an international platform for the release of civilians illegally detained by Russia. This was announced by the Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets."

Source: https://global.espreso.tv/russia-ukraine-war-ukraine-opens-international-platform-for-release-of-civilians-illegally-detained-by-russia Espreso.tv, 25 February 2024.

And who is Espreso.tv? Interestingly:
Domain: espreso.tv
Registrar: Network Solutions, LLC
Registered On: 2013-10-27
Registered in FLORIDA.

Source: whois query on espreso tv

Additionally, one reads: "Espreso TV (Ukrainian: Еспресо TV) is an Internet television station in Ukraine that started to operate in November 2013. Espreso TV enabled the Euromaidan protests to be broadcast worldwide."

Source: Espreso TV

As the Cloudfare nameservers are identified, the website is proven to be hosted in the United States, where it was originally established. The Wiki also notes that today it is owned by Goldberry LLC, which interestingly is headquartered in Illinois. And yet, one finds some interesting connections to Ukrainian oligarchs.

"TV is a Ukrainian Information television channel. It started broadcasting during Euromaidan in 2013 solely via satellite without a license, which later caused procedural problems for it in acquiring one. Those problems were resolved by the end of 2014, when the channel was granted a license for digital broadcasting. 'Goldberry' LLC belongs solely to 'Astra Finance' company which in turn belongs to 'Novyny-TV' ('News-TV') LLC (70%) and Larysa Knyazhytska (30%), the wife of Mykola Knyazhytsky, Member of the Parliament of Ukraine of 7th and 8th convocations (2012-2014 and 2014-2019). However, 99% of 'Novyny-TV' ('News-TV') belongs to Larysa Knyajitska as well, while 1% belongs to Vadym Denysenko, Member of the Parliament, from 'Petro Poroshenko Bloc'. Though, the shareholding structure illustrates that in 2014 Vadym Denysenko passed his 1% to the 'Moris Ukraine 'Law Company', LLC. "

One also can check: Media Ownership Monitor Ukraine 2016

As one pulls back the curtains on all the media, one finds connections which lead back to "Ukrainians" with their media operating all over the world. But originally registered in Florida? And web hosted in the United States, while publishing in Ukrainian and English? But not other European languages? The purpose throughout seems to be to "nudge" an English speaking reader. As do the various other monetized YouTube videos. Throughout, it's about MONEY.

It's all about money.

Oh, you mean like Ukraine used on civiian Gonzalo Lira after being tortured and left to die of untreated illness in a nasty Ukraine prison for speaking his mind? Lets not forget that enemy list of Zelensky’s where names get crossed off as Ukraine imprisons them to disappear permanently.

Two wrongs do not make a right so it is best to shut up when you are guilty of the same thing you accuse others of.

This is quite hilarious coming from a Zeeper and the merry band of hypocrites. This piece oozes with hypocrisy of the worst sort and is eaten up by indoctrinated fools.

Yes they are left in filthy and cold tiny cells. Fed slop you wouldn't give a pig. They are beaten and left with no treatment for illnesses. They are denied speedy trials and bullied to sign things that admit to guilt in order to make the misery stop.

This is the USA under the Biden regime. Illegals and criminals go free and Americans who want fair elections get imprisoned for years.

Satellite images show civilian deaths in Ukraine town while it was in Russian hands - April 5, 2022

April 5 (Reuters) - Satellite images taken weeks ago of the town of Bucha in Ukraine show bodies of civilians on a street, a private U.S. company said, undercutting the Russian government's claims that Ukrainian forces caused the deaths or that the scene was staged.

Maxar Technologies provided nine images taken of Bucha on March 18, 19 and 31 to Reuters. At least four of the images appear to show bodies on one of the town's roads, Yablonska Street. The city was occupied by Russian forces until about March 30.

“This is the USA under the Biden regime. Illegals and criminals go free and Americans who want fair elections get imprisoned for years.”

It’s a waste of time pointing these things out on these Ukraine threads. They don’t care about America or Americans, only what’s in it for them. Notice it’s always “Pray for Ukraine”, never “Pray for America”. Prayers that our country needs more than ever.

Some Freepers just trying to “Make Russia Great Again”

Sergey Radchenko, a professor at Johns Hopkins’ School of Advanced International Studies, noted that Russia for decades has hoped the U.S would lose interest in protecting Europe: “This was Stalin’s dream, that the U.S. would just retreat to the Western hemisphere.”

Exactly. These eastern Europeans have been trying to take over this site for a couple of years now. They deliberately spam the site with excessive propaganda, they’re nasty to the Americans here who don’t want to see their spam everywhere, they try to bully, they try to censor Americans and they say incredibly stupid things like “Some Freepers just trying to “Make Russia Great Again” about American conservatives.

In short, there is a little group of left-leaning Americans and assorted foreigners that despise conservative, patriotic Americans. These people are hell-bent on destroying this site.

I’ve been reading news and posting comments at another site that hasn’t been infested with Ukrazies more and more often now.

Biden has a meeting with Congressional leaders coming up. Let us pray that Mike Johnson holds firm and refuses to believe the lies and false promises that he will be bullied and bombarded with.
