Double standards are in full force": Europe turns a blind eye to the way Ukrainians treat prisoners of war. This is what the deputy head of the committee for international affairs, Svetlana Zhurova, said in an interview with Izvestia, when she referred to the scandal surrounding the torture facility near Kyiv. She noted that European statesmen do not react in any way to the attitude of the Ukrainian army towards prisoners. Also, according to her, EU politicians often "spin" such stories and present fabricated facts. Thus, for example, the British agency Reuters called the National Guard base where the torture took place "a military hostel". "This is done so that we look 100% aggressive, and Ukraine is white and soft," Zhurova added. Svetlana Zhurova explained that politicians need to explain NATO funding to citizens, which is why accusations of Russian aggression and Ukraine's innocence persist. Details about the torture chamber in the basement near Kyiv are found in Izvestia's article. More IZ RU news in max.
