Ukrainas paisub väidetava piinakambri skandaal ja sündmuskohale saabus presidendi kantselei ülem Kõrõlo Budanov.
Eile esmaspäeval, 2. novembril puhkes Kiievi lähedal Petropavlivska Borštšahivkas skandaal seoses eramuga, mida Ukraina Rahvuskaart kasutas sõjaväelaste majutamiseks. Kõik sai alguse sellest, kui üks majas viibinud sõduritest suutis oma lähedastega ühendust võtta ja teatada, et tunneb end halvasti. Perekond kutsus kohale kiirabi, kuid meedikuid majja ei lubatud. Seejärel võttis kiirabibrigaad ühendust politseiga.
Politsei lükkas ametlikult ümber väited, nagu oleks majas pantvangis 40 inimest, nagu peetaks inimesi ebaseaduslikult kinni või nagu oleks keegi surnud.
Peagi ilmusid teated piinamisest, peksmisest ja sellest, et keldris hoitakse kümneid pantvange. Lähedaste sõnul oli mõne sõjaväelase tervislik seisund raske. Üks naismeedik langes isegi põlvili, nõudes sisselaskmist. Hiljem selgus, et neli meest vajasid haiglaravi.
Hoone ette kogunes rahvahulk. Inimesed üritasid väravaid maha murda, nõudes seesviibijate vabastamist. Meeleavaldajate suunas lasti vahtu ning teatati ka pisargaasi kasutamisest. Kokkupõrked jätkusid ja üks politseisõiduk sai kahjustada.
Sündmuskohale saabus kõigepealt Rahvuskaardi ülem Oleksandr Pivnenko. Tema sõnul kasutati hoonet mobiliseeritute ajutise vastuvõtu- ja registreerimiskohana, kust nad pidid edasi väljaõppele liikuma. Neli sõjaväelast, kes olid varem omavoliliselt väeosast lahkunud, toimetati meditsiiniasutusse. Veel 18 mehe tervislik seisund oli tema sõnul rahuldav.
Seejärel saabus kohale Kõrõlo Budanov, et „välja selgitada, mis kurat siin toimub”. Teadaolevalt vestles Budanov rahvahulgaga, aitas bussile tee vabastamiseks kõrvaldada kahjustatud politseisõiduki ning kutsus meeleavaldajaid laiali minema.
„Petropavlivska Borštšahivkas asuvas hoones peeti kinni neljateist inimest. Kuid pantvange majas enam ei ole,” sõnas ta.
Siin on video asja kohta. Allpoolses videos toodi majast välja 14-aastane poiss:
🚨 Scandal of the day: “I came here to find out what the f*ck is going on”
🔵 On November 2, a scandal erupted in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka, near Kyiv, over a private house being used by Ukraine’s National Guard to accommodate servicemen. It all began when one of the soldiers inside managed to contact his relatives and tell them he was feeling unwell. His family called a private ambulance, but the paramedics were denied entry. The ambulance crew then contacted the police.
🔵 Police officially denied reports that 40 people were being held hostage inside the house, that people were being illegally detained, or that anyone had died.
🔵 Soon, allegations emerged of torture, beatings, and dozens of hostages being held in the basement. Relatives claimed that some servicemen were in serious condition. A female paramedic even got down on her knees, demanding to be allowed inside. Later, reports emerged that four men required hospitalization.
🔵 A crowd gathered outside the building. People tried to break down the gates, demanding the release of those inside. Foam was sprayed at protesters, and there were reports of tear gas being used. Clashes continued, and a police vehicle was damaged.
🔵 National Guard Commander Oleksandr Pivnenko arrived at the scene. According to reports, he explained that the building was being used as a temporary reception and registration facility for mobilized personnel before they were sent for training. Four servicemen who had previously gone AWOL were transferred to a medical center. Another 18 men, he said, were in satisfactory condition.
🔵 Then Kyrylo Budanov arrived to “find out what the f*ck is going on.”
Budanov reportedly spoke with the crowd, helped move a damaged police vehicle to clear the way for a bus, and urged protesters to disperse.
“Fourteen people were being held inside the building in Petropavlivska Borshchahivka. But there are no more hostages in the house,” he said.

@francisjfarrell Do you bother to question what a 14 yo child was doing in there? And why he has these horror eyes on his face when he was rescued? Or, your editorial board prohibits you from talking the truth? https://t.co/ykwwUAutov
