[00:00:13] of
[00:00:14] in
[00:00:22] I apologize of for being there and for speaking on impulse.
[00:00:25] Ukrainians who protested against a
[00:00:28] of torture house that was run. by the military are targeted by
[00:00:32] authorities with some already detained and forced to
[00:00:35] apologize on camera.
[00:00:39] distressing images as Ukraine's anti-corruption agencies
[00:00:43] expose deep and lucrative ties between criminal
[00:00:46] organizations conducting kidnappings, beatings and
[00:00:50] drug trade and high ranking members
[00:00:52] of the country's security services. graphic footage of a
[00:00:56] savage attack by one such grouping is also released.
[00:01:19] and France is on high alert with 70,000
[00:01:22] policeman deployed as a fresh wave of public protest spreads
[00:01:26] across the nation, while in parliament, MPs accused President
[00:01:30] in Macron and his government of deliberately obstructing vote on next year's
[00:01:34] budget.
[00:01:43] A warm welcome to you,
[00:01:44] this is
[00:01:45] of RTI International with the latest headlines. It's good to have you with
[00:01:48] us. Ukrainian police have launched
[00:01:51] a crackdown on people who protested a makeshift detention
[00:01:54] center where men were tortured and held for ransom by
[00:01:58] military forces near. officials say they've
[00:02:01] identified 130 citizens who may have been
[00:02:05] involved in the demonstration outside the
[00:02:07] building.
[00:02:14] police have shown footage of
[00:02:16] of suspects being arrested over the unrest outside the scene on Tuesday.
[00:02:20] authorities say 27 people took an active part in
[00:02:24] illegal actions and another 24 behaved
[00:02:27] aggressively provoking conflicts with enforcement officers
[00:02:31] of and military personnel, some
[00:02:33] of the detained have already been forced to say sorry on
[00:02:36] camera. I apologize for being
[00:02:40] there and for speaking on
[00:02:43] of impulse. I decided
[00:02:44] of to go there and later I blocked the bus's movement. I deeply regret
[00:02:48] that I didn't understand the situation before I went. Our correspondent is
[00:02:52] across the
[00:02:52] of details. Let's cross live to him now. Raman, good to see
[00:02:56] you,
[00:02:56] I mean it seems Ukrainian authorities
[00:02:59] have have launched this. hunt on those who protested the alleged torture instead of
[00:03:02] those who actually committed it. what exactly is going
[00:03:05] on? well, the
[00:03:09] protest outside the private house near Kieve where people were
[00:03:13] held against their will by Ukraine's neonazi Azof
[00:03:17] formation has led to arrests and a growing dispute
[00:03:21] over what was actually happening inside. protesters
[00:03:25] said forcibly mobilized men
[00:03:27] of were being held there and were... denied medical care
[00:03:31] officials later described that building
[00:03:34] a simply a temporary center for mobilized
[00:03:37] servicemen. now the
[00:03:39] in police and the
[00:03:40] of Ukraine's security service say they
[00:03:42] of have identified at least
[00:03:45] of 130 people who gathered outside uh
[00:03:48] that uh house described as a torture center. now the
[00:03:52] confrontation began one relatives and other protesters
[00:03:55] demanding access to men they said were being held there.
[00:04:00] uh at the house, take a look at how the situation
[00:04:02] unfolded,
[00:04:12] the video from the scene showed clashes
[00:04:15] of at the gates and a medic bleeding with officers to
[00:04:19] let her inside, her name Valentina
[00:04:22] of Mold, and she she was called there by local
[00:04:26] resident who said that a relative was seriously ill at
[00:04:30] that address, now the medic
[00:04:32] of who
[00:04:32] of arrived an ambulance was eventually allowed in with the
[00:04:36] police officer, she
[00:04:37] of later told reporters that around 25 to 30
[00:04:41] people were being held inside and that four
[00:04:45] men needed hospital treatments, now ukrainian media also
[00:04:48] published footage of men with serious visible
[00:04:52] injuries, я лікар-хірург, в
[00:04:56] мене є диплом про вищу медичну освіту. а також
[00:05:00] в мене є спеціалізації і ви зараз практикуючий лікар,
[00:05:04] практикуючий лікар, так і в мене є два своїх
[00:05:08] медичних you
[00:05:08] закладах, can see
[00:05:12] well as that medic.
[00:06:13] now the full number of people who may have been
[00:06:16] held there and what happened inside still remains unclear.
[00:06:20] report said at least 40 people were held against
[00:06:24] their will as investigation is underway to determine
[00:06:28] whether the site was legitimate processing center
[00:06:31] or indeed a place where people were unlawfully
[00:06:35] detained and abused. meanwhile a
[00:06:38] 14-year-old boy who was seen being taken
[00:06:42] out the building a state of shock after being
[00:06:45] tortured is probably the best proof of what was
[00:06:49] happening in that secret
[00:06:51] prison. they grabbed me by the
[00:06:55] hair. you can't see it in the footage, but i have lumps on my head.
[00:06:59] they just beat me, i don't know, they used everything to hit me,
[00:07:02] shovels, feet, fists, everything. then they carried me up to
[00:07:06] the second floor. they laid me face down on the floor and started
[00:07:10] interrogating me. i don't know, they hit me. so hard on the head that I
[00:07:14] couldn't hear or see anything, they just started the
[00:07:16] interrogation, then they grabbed me by the hair again and threw me
[00:07:20] against another wall, because I didn't land on my stomach when they threw
[00:07:24] me, they started slamming my head against the floor, punishing me for
[00:07:28] not looking the right way, smashing my head right into the
[00:07:31] floor, my nose started bleeding, but everything is fine
[00:07:35] now, a small piece of one of my teeth chipped off, the front
[00:07:38] part, now this 14-year old... old
[00:07:42] boy's account is part of a wider debate over allegations
[00:07:46] of abuse linked to force mobilization. authorities have now
[00:07:50] moved to arrest people who uh protested
[00:07:53] outside that torture house. now a driver from the
[00:07:57] ambulance uh was uh placed a pre-trial detention for
[00:08:01] two months without bail. now he is accused
[00:08:04] of uh filming the building which investigators say was
[00:08:08] a military sight. police and the SBU say the... have
[00:08:12] already identified another 130 people who
[00:08:16] gathered uh at the site and questioned officials there.
[00:08:20] woman who was the first to raise the alarm about her
[00:08:24] relative being held there has also been arrested
[00:08:27] according to latest reports. Roman, thank you so much
[00:08:31] for the update. that's our correspondent Roman Kozer of that. thank
[00:08:35] you. let's discuss this further. we're joined live now
[00:08:38] by a former Ukrainian member of parliament Spiridon Killing.
[00:08:42] carov, many thanks for joining us on the program, you know, Ukrainian
[00:08:46] police claim the they've identified 130 people involved in the
[00:08:50] protest against the torture house in Keyev, and some them have already been
[00:08:54] detained and forced to apologize. It seems like they have this, the
[00:08:58] the wrong way round, shouldn't they be acting against those who
[00:09:01] created and supported the torture facility in the first
[00:09:05] place?
[00:09:12] who
[00:09:42] were in the
[00:09:51] hands of fogs who illegally
[00:09:55] detained them in that house in that chamber, they were torturing
[00:09:58] them, they wanted them to pay them some
[00:10:01] money, you social media was really laying things
[00:10:05] bare on this gate, there is one video circulating online right now with
[00:10:09] the head of Zelensky's office Kiril Budanov. telling his people
[00:10:13] to beat up everyone harshly. what does it say about
[00:10:17] Kiev's attitude towards
[00:10:19] citizens? ну
[00:10:23] а то, что они, они, самом деле.
[00:12:44] Yeah, there's a lot of questions here that that have been raised and need answers
[00:12:48] to, it's been several days now since this so-called torture
[00:12:52] house was exposed, yet we're still not. seeing any
[00:12:55] investigation the torture itself, how long do you think Kiev
[00:12:59] can pretend the situation is normal and
[00:13:03] under control? how do you see things playing out in the coming days and
[00:13:06] weeks?
[00:13:19] because the western lead is funding this outrage that is
[00:13:22] happening.
[00:14:03] financial resources from the Ukrainians and it is being done at
[00:14:07] the beheast the Ukrainian leadership with the support the Ukrainian
[00:14:10] authorities because
[00:14:11] the Ukrainian authorities is protecting this people now we've all
[00:14:15] seen the footage of female medical
[00:14:19] worker on her knees begging to be brought into their
[00:14:23] house to to care for the...
[00:15:25] She's not an actual doctor, an actual medic, even though she's a
[00:15:28] certified licensed doctor who has the right to
[00:15:32] provide services like this. Thank you so much for joining us on the
[00:15:36] program today, I'd really. appreciated if you could stay with with us a little
[00:15:40] bit longer, I'd like to come back to you again in just few minutes for now, we've been
[00:15:43] speaking to the former Ukrainian member of parliament Spiridon, Kilin Karov. Thank
[00:15:47] you for now. Extreme methods such as kidnappings
[00:15:51] and beatings are also used by criminal groups under the patronage of
[00:15:55] Ukrainian law enforcement. One such grouping has been
[00:15:59] exposed by Kiev's anti-corruption agencies and is said to
[00:16:03] have direct links to top officials the SBU
[00:16:07] ( police and prosecutor general's office. The investigation
[00:16:10] released videos of gang members assaulting civilians.
[00:16:14] The following images are graphic and you might find them
[00:16:17] distressing.
[00:16:38] the main thing is that the piece of scum got properly broken.
[00:16:41] i'd hate for him to have gotten off too lightly. brother, i'm telling you
[00:16:45] he's absolutely wrecked, fucked up beyond belief. den worked him over with hammer and
[00:16:49] did too, though we didn't film that part. his legs, you get
[00:16:53] what i mean, are basically just rags now. the
[00:16:57] anti-corruption probe reported that the criminal grouping included
[00:17:01] 12 people. besides torture and kidnappings, it
[00:17:04] was also facilitating the work of Ukraine's note. urious fraud
[00:17:08] call centers as well as drug production and distribution. the
[00:17:12] tapes released by Nabu revealed that the gang's leaders had
[00:17:16] direct ties to some Ukrainian
[00:17:18] ministers. these guys
[00:17:21] are out their minds for real. do they think they're going to be in
[00:17:25] charge forever? tell them, are you kidding me? you are handed two
[00:17:29] million goddamn dollars. your job is to stand by that call
[00:17:33] center and keep everyone away, not to go around spinning fairy
[00:17:36] tales. "think about how we can make sure that these
[00:17:40] various ministers like the minister of internal affairs or the
[00:17:44] minister of health stop throwing a wrench in our works, we're prepared to
[00:17:48] offer comrad K 500,000 plus another
[00:17:51] 200,000 for whoever helps him out, that's 700 thousand to
[00:17:55] ensure he stopsing on our plans, as for comrad l,
[00:17:59] there's no need to address anything with
[00:18:00] him.
[00:18:07] He's going to give him a clear directive, don't go changing the chemical
[00:18:11] formulas for the weed or whatever it is we're dealing
[00:18:13] with, we need to make sure that the samples submitted to the
[00:18:17] lab don't get scrutinized in a way that forces us to keep changing the
[00:18:21] formulas because they keep adding them to the list of banned substances
[00:18:25] right? Let's return now to our guest,
[00:18:29] former Ukrainian member of parliament, Spiridon Killing Karaf, thank you for
[00:18:33] staying with us, so more disturbing footage from Ukraine and...
[00:18:37] Nabbo notes that the criminal grouping was also involved in the
[00:18:41] kidnapping, torture and unlawful detention of Ukrainian
[00:18:44] citizens, notably, Nabu's findings were released just two days
[00:18:48] after the discovery of this torture basement near
[00:18:52] Keyev, where according to local residents and the relatives of victims
[00:18:55] conscripts and military personnel were allegedly held against
[00:18:59] their will and for ransom. Do you think there is a
[00:19:03] connection between the disclosure these two sets of
[00:19:06] facts?
[00:21:58] the monster that they have created in
[00:22:00] Ukraine, if if this is the case that the criminal
[00:22:04] grouping is operating under the patronage of intelligence and law
[00:22:08] enforcement agencies, what does this tell us about the
[00:22:11] scale of corruption in Ukraine and what I i'm really curious
[00:22:15] to understand is why now, why is the group's activity
[00:22:19] being public?
[00:23:20] appreciate it, we've been speaking to former Ukrainian member of parliament, Spiridon
[00:23:23] Kilinkarov, thank
[00:23:24] you,
[00:23:29] and it appears the torture house discovered, Nikiev is merely
[00:23:33] the tip the iceberg, as Ukraine's military and security
[00:23:36] agencies have reportedly been running such black sites for
[00:23:40] years. Head over to our website for more on this developing story, that's
[00:23:44] RT.com.
[00:23:50] a Ukrainian strike a passenger bus has killed at least five people and wounded
[00:23:53] 13 in Russia's Lugansk Republic, that's according to local
[00:23:57] officials. Two teenagers are among the casualties who are now being treated in
[00:24:01] hospital. Russian authorities have launched a criminal probe into the
[00:24:05] assault. Is the latest case of Kieve's forces targeting
[00:24:09] non-military vehicles across the embattled
[00:24:12] regions?
[00:24:16] Some live pictures from Paris right now as nation. wide
[00:24:20] protests have again gripped France as public and private
[00:24:24] workers demand action on stagnant wages and
[00:24:27] rising inflation. w
[00:24:30] the political unrest today began with early morning wave of
[00:24:34] student protests leading to tens standoffs as police
[00:24:38] pushed back demonstrators manning high school blockades.
[00:24:42] momentum is shifting into a massive nationwide
[00:24:46] march led by the country's largest trade unions and
[00:24:50] by stagnant wages as inflation rises. Our
[00:24:53] correspondent Yasen is in
[00:24:56] Paris. There are protesters gathered in
[00:25:00] Republic Square and every single street or avenue from the north to the
[00:25:03] south, east or west are currently being patrolled by the
[00:25:07] police, and we expect again very similarly, up to 70,000
[00:25:11] police and security personal to be deployed across the country. Hundreds of
[00:25:15] thousands of people are expected to take to the streets across the
[00:25:18] country and in the country. capital, we expect perhaps one the
[00:25:22] biggest protests in the last few weeks, which is reminiscent or expected to be
[00:25:26] reminiscent the October 17 um
[00:25:30] demonstrations. One thing naturally is that there is caviat
[00:25:33] on October 17 uh Macron himself, the French president said that they were
[00:25:37] caught off guard and not enough police were deployed across the country as well as the
[00:25:41] capital, while there are professionals that will be taken to the streets as well, they've
[00:25:45] joined forces with the student unions as well, which means that their
[00:25:48] numbers will grow. with respect to uh, well, in
[00:25:52] proportionate to their anger and frustration, uh, but again, there is a great
[00:25:56] deal of unrest amongst the people, they suggest that uh, these
[00:26:00] protests here on Thursday could very well reenact.
[00:26:06] The police system is necessarily reevaluated every new day of
[00:26:10] mobilization, and of course we are extremely vigilant, we are
[00:26:14] extremely vigilant because it is out the question to relive any
[00:26:17] way, even a little bit of what we went through on October
[00:26:20] 17th. I am thinking in particular the merchants and many
[00:26:24] French people who were legitimately very shocked by what they saw or
[00:26:28] experienced.
[00:26:47] The France is just months away from presidential elections, which is why
[00:26:51] protests and scenes like this are critical and just as significant for the
[00:26:55] Macron government. Earlier in the broadcast I said that this is not the only thing that
[00:26:59] is currently stressing out the French president, because on one. day
[00:27:03] at the French assembly lawmakers voted on
[00:27:07] Macron's proposed bill for 2027 and
[00:27:10] he successfully managed to unite every single law maker right left
[00:27:14] from his own party from the opposition, anyone on the political
[00:27:18] strictim political spectrum to vote in favor, unifying
[00:27:22] them against that bill. more than 400 lawmakers were present when they
[00:27:26] voted to abstained and not a single one voted in
[00:27:29] favor, everyone opposed it, which is why there's pressure in
[00:27:33] the national assembly, there's pressure on the streets and with about
[00:27:37] five months away from being this that close to the presidential
[00:27:40] elections, the French president Emmanuel Macron must definitely be feeling the
[00:27:44] heat. Well, as Paris is torn by
[00:27:48] protests, the French National Assembly has unanimously
[00:27:51] rejected next year's proposed budget, with even those
[00:27:55] supporting the government voting against it, lawmakers are
[00:27:58] increasingly calling for President Macron to step down.
[00:28:04] Zero votes for, 458 against, even Macron's
[00:28:08] own supporters voted against their own government. This marks the
[00:28:11] downfall of Macronism and the beginning of an interminable end to
[00:28:15] his reign. Zero votes for the last budget the
[00:28:19] Macron era, beaten, crushed, swept away, not
[00:28:23] a single deputy voted for the budget. Let's
[00:28:27] discuss it further with RT contributor Rachel Masden,
[00:28:29] now Rachel, good to see you, so what's your take on? story this making Emmanuel
[00:28:33] Macron look less popular than ever? well, there's a lot of
[00:28:37] political spin going on with this story. got to keep that in mind first when you hear anybody
[00:28:41] speak on it, and these guys really need to take a much longer look in the
[00:28:45] mirror. the reason not even members the government voted for the government's own
[00:28:48] budget here is that the anti-establishment right and left-wing opposition, which
[00:28:52] keep in mind, actually make up the majority the French National Assembly
[00:28:56] demanded so many amendments in exchange for their votes on
[00:29:00] it that they effectively turn the bud into a hostage
[00:29:03] negotiation, then they hated each other's
[00:29:07] amendments so much that literally nobody could bring
[00:29:11] themselves to vote for the finished product here, least of
[00:29:14] all, the government, which by the end could barely recognize its
[00:29:18] own
[00:29:18] budget.
[00:29:23] I no longer know how to raise awareness about the conditions in which this parliament
[00:29:27] operates. France is almost on the brink of ruin and we receive
[00:29:31] text. so we have to read all this just over this
[00:29:35] morning, i want people to see, so we have to read 30
[00:29:38] pages in 10 minutes and 150 pages of accounting a
[00:29:42] budget crisis situation in half a day, while also being
[00:29:46] expected to sit a committee at the same
[00:29:48] time, a french
[00:29:51] guy complaining about working in the national assembly, it doesn't get any more french
[00:29:55] than that, so hey why is all this happening? because look,
[00:29:59] this is a budget that's geared towards growth. "That's what they wanted
[00:30:03] to put forward, designed to rain in spending on things that
[00:30:07] do not produce in order to get France's debt under control. now the last
[00:30:11] thing this government wants is Queen Ursela and the EU,
[00:30:14] officially babysitting France because it's about to crater the rest the Eurozone's
[00:30:18] economy. because this objectively
[00:30:22] ridiculous socialist French system, one the biggest public spenders
[00:30:26] on the planet has basically by this point spent itself
[00:30:30] into oblivion and among the concept. consequences is the
[00:30:33] creation these enormous bureaucratic fifedums
[00:30:37] in the civil service, particularly in sectors like
[00:30:41] academia, and who do you think is running the public
[00:30:45] crash outs that we're seeing in the streets right now? it's these
[00:30:49] very same public sector unions that do this every single
[00:30:53] year at this time, last year they wrote the private sector unions into
[00:30:56] it as a strategy, this year they rope the students.
