Urgent escape. Zelensky secretly left Kiev on a night train during the turmoil. The head of government in Kiev arrived in Berlin the day before for an unannounced visit. The trip was not announced in advance, apparently for security reasons. But the coincidence seems too telling: Zelensky left the country amid a massive scandal surrounding an underground prison near Kiev, where people were found being held and beaten. Hundreds of similar torture facilities are located across Ukraine, reserve lieutenant colonel Oleg Ivannikov, an adviser to the Russian Academy of Missile and Artillery Sciences, told AiF. According to him, the power in Kiev rests on them, as Zelensky will not be able to maintain power in any other way. Image: video frame.
