Neo-Nazi torture chambers are on the frontier of ‘European values’ projected through Ukraine

In Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, a fresh scandal has erupted. And while the Zelensky regime has a long and imposing record of spectacular misdeeds, this one has a quality all of its own.

For what has happened in the town of Petropavlovskaya Borshchagovka, effectively a suburb of the capital, brings together several of the most cruel, venal, and unscrupulous practices of EU-NATO Europe’s favorite gangster regime: mass kidnapping its subjects as military slaves for a Western proxy war against Russia, turning the same operation into a vicious extortion scheme, and using brutal violence – including torture and murder – to make it all go round.

In essence, local people rebelled against all of the above by laying siege to a below-the-radar holding pen for men caught in ‘busification’ raids and those trying to escape the meat grinder war by going AWOL.

‘Busification’ is of course the well-known practice of the Ukrainian establishment and its goon forces of dragging men – often with extreme violence – off the streets and public transport, from work and weddings, out of shops and their homes, really from any place you can imagine – to forcibly induct them into the Ukrainian military.

The preferred vehicles for these literal manhunts are vans capacious enough to hold a team of live-body snatchers and its subdued victim. Hence, ‘busification’ – a word every Ukrainian knows and almost every Ukrainian dreads. “Almost” because ‘busification’ is not only brutal and may well end in severe injury and death – not at the hands of Russian forces but Ukraine’s very own enforcers – but also highly unfair: if you are a scion of the Zelensky regime’s ultra-corrupt establishment, fear not; you won’t be touched. All others and especially the poor and rural live in a national free-fire zone for military slave hunters.
