#KievRegimeCrimes
The International Public Tribunal on the Crimes of Ukrainian Neo-Nazis (includes representatives of civil society from more than 30 countries), chaired by Maxim Grigoriev, continues recording reports of war crimes committed by the Kiev regime towards prisoners of war (POWs).
📓 On May 30, the Tribunal published a report titled "Ukraine's War Crimes: Torture and Abuse of Captive Russian Servicemen".
Nearly all Russian servicemen suffered repeated brutal beatings while held in combat units, Security Service of Ukraine facilities, detention centres, and Ukrainian concentration camps, as well as during transfers through numerous checkpoints. Many victims report that inciting dogs on people was another common torture method.
Particularly brutal torture was inflicted by Ukrainians on Buryats, Yakuts, Crimean residents, DPR/LPR fighters, former Wagner fighters, and current Akhmat fighters.
Russian servicemen describe cases of sophisticated abuse and widespread sadistic practices carried out by members of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
❗️ Interviewees widely testify to sadistic behavior by Ukrainian doctors, including surgeries and procedures performed without anesthesia on Russian POWs — similar to Nazi doctor Mengele's experiments at Auschwitz.
▪️ Azat Rakhimov: At first, the Ukrainians would hold my head underwater, cover my face, and drown me — a form of water torture where you can’t breathe. When I lost consciousness, they’d stop, then start again. On May 23, they were celebrating a holiday and grilling barbecue. When they ran out of meat, they said, “Let’s roast him.” They proceeded to heat a metal pipe and press it against my back and legs, leaving severe burns. After the flesh blistered, they peeled off the burnt skin and poured salt directly into the open wounds. The burning sensation was constant — the heat, the pain, and the salt eating into me.
▪️ Vladimir Palitsyn: I lost my teeth during the first interrogation. The Ukrainians knocked out my teeth. They strapped me to an electric chair. The electrodes were attached to my genitals and chest. The electric current was applied in three modes. It was called 'dancing' — switching between low and high current. I thought my eyes would pop out.
▪️ Ivan Myakishev: When I was in the 'Zapad-4' concentration camp, one prisoner asked for burn ointment but was denied. The Ukrainian guards tortured him with a heated metal pipe, they rolled it all over his body. They heated it over a fire and pressed it against his skin.

About the Motherland
What do the weeping birches sing of,
A melody full of light and tears?
Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only.
What do wintering birds long for
From beyond the cold granite borders?
For Motherland they long, for Motherland only.
In moments of sadness, in time of adversity
Who shall caress us and who shall save us?
Motherland, Motherland only.
In bitter frost whom shall we warm,
And in difficult time whom shall we support (take pity upon)?
Motherland, dear Motherland only.
When we depart for interstellar flight,
What do our earthly hearts sing of?
Of Motherland they sing, of Motherland only.
We live in the name of goodness and love,
And the best songs of yours and mine
Are of Motherland, of Motherland only.
Under scorching sun and in heavy snow
My thoughts and my prayers
Are always with Motherland,
With Motherland only.
Lyrics by Rasul Gamzatov

⚡️ Russia's Foreign Ministry Statement in connection with Israel’s strikes on Iran
Read in full
💬 We express our profound concern regarding the dangerous escalation of tensions in the Middle East.
❗️ We strongly condemn the military actions undertaken by the State of Israel on the night of June 13, which constitute a clear violation of the UN Charter as well as established principles of international law.
Unprovoked military strikes against a sovereign member state of the United Nations, against its citizens, peaceful cities, and critical nuclear energy infrastructure facilities, are totally unacceptable. The international community must not ignore such acts, which not only jeopardise peace but also undermine security both in the region and globally.
The timing of these attacks appears to be particularly cynical as they have occurred amidst a session of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and just ahead of the next round of indirect talks between representatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States. These actions have drastically undermined the progress of painstaking multilateral diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and seeking solutions to eliminate suspicions and the bias surrounding Iran’s peaceful nuclear programme.
It is evident that West Jerusalem has made a deliberate decision to further escalate the situation and raise stakes. We have warned on numerous occasions about the destabilising effects of military ventures that threaten peace and security in the region. The full responsibility for the consequences of these provocative acts lies with the Israeli leadership.
We are closely monitoring the actions by the IAEA, which carries significant responsibility in this challenging situation. IAEA personnel, alongside citizens of the Islamic Republic of Iran, have also been exposed to Israeli strikes. We expect the IAEA Director General to provide balanced and objective assessments of the current developments – in particular, a comprehensive analysis of the potential radiological consequences of the attacks on nuclear facilities in Iran.
We also hope that the Western countries, which provoked the recent wave of anti-Iran hysteria at the IAEA Board of Governors, once again pushing through a short-term resolution tailored to suit their political preferences and entrenched phobias, despite its lack of broad international support, will come to realise the dangerous consequences of their destructive approach as well as the degree of responsibility they bear for the unfolding tragedy.
☝️ We strongly believe that, regardless of any justifications that may be offered by those who planned, developed, and carried out the attacks, the issue of the Iranian nuclear programme cannot and must not be resolved by military means. A sustainable settlement is only possible through peaceful, political, and diplomatic efforts.
We sincerely hope that this understanding will ultimately prevail. We call on the parties to exercise restraint to avoid further escalation and prevent a full-scale war in the region.
In this context, we note that the US is ready to hold another round of talks with Iran on the latter’s nuclear programme in Oman.
