“THESE ARE ANIMALS, NOT PEOPLE”: ZELENSKY FREES CONVICTED CHILD RAPISTS, TORTURERS TO REINFORCE DEPLETED MILITARY

Written by Esha Krishnaswamy. Originally published by The Gray Zone

Once condemned by Ukrainian officials and imprisoned for sadistic torture and the rape of minors, leaders of the notorious Tornado Battalion are free under Volodymyr Zelensky’s orders.

After banning virtually his entire political opposition, publishing a blacklist of foreign journalists and academics accused of advancing “Russian propaganda,” and ramming through a law exempting 70% of Ukrainians from workplace protections, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenksy has freed from prison fascist militants convicted of some of the most heinous crimes the country has seen since World War II.

According to a July 11 report in Ukrainian media, Ruslan Onishenko, commander of the now-disbanded Tornado Battalion, was freed as part of President Zelensky’s scheme to release prisoners with combat experience. Along with an unwavering commitment to fascism, Onishenko is known as a psychopathic sadist who was involved in sexually assaulting children, brutally torturing prisoners, and murder.

Onishenko’s release follows a February 27 order by Zelensky to free other convicted former Tornado members like Danil “Mujahed” Lyashuk, a fanatic from Belarus who has openly emulated ISIS and boasted of torturing captives for sheer enjoyment. According to Zelensky‘s decree, prisoners with combat experience would be allowed to “compensate for their guilt” by fighting in the “hottest spots.”

Back in 2015, when the Ukrainian state provided official support to his Tornado Battalion, Onishenko texted two fellow “patriots,” Voldomor and Svetlana Savichuk, propositioning Svetlana Savichuk to “suck my cock in front of the [toddler] children.” (See screenshots of the conversation here). He also asked Savichuk to perform lewd acts on her children for his viewing pleasure. Despite the magnitude of his crimes, which included torture, murder, rape – including that of children – kidnapping, amputation, and more, Onishenko was sentenced to a mere 11 years in prison on April 11, 2017.

Now, after serving just five years of his sentence, the convicted predator has been freed by a president hailed by Western patrons as a defender of democracy.

Zelensky’s move is not just a signal of desperation as his military is ground down by Russian forces in the east. It extends the virtual impunity that Ukrainian battalions infested with hardened criminals and neo-Nazis have enjoyed for over eight years as official enforcers of the post-Maidan regime’s rule.

This was a great video. They didnt cuss at the Ukrainians one time, which is crazy. In fact they used very friendly terms like "brother," when addressing them a few times.

at 00:20 seconds the Russian soldier filming the Ukrainian recieving first aid ask's how he got his injuries. He says he was hit with grenade shrapnel.

At 00:38 the Ukrainian soldier casually standing beside the Russian soldier filming says "Thank you for your help, that is my friend," in reffernece to the guy getting first aid.

1:00 in that guys hand is fucked.

1:12 The shelling starts and the unit's commander tell's everyone to go further in the trenches. He even commands the POWs no different than his own men. Once again, no swearing at them.

2:01 He's directing Ukrainian POW's, patting them on the back, not corralling them with their rifles. He even says, "Be careful men, everything will be ok. Dont worry men, God is with us, everything will return to normal."

Good to see such humanity in such a bloody war.

Wounded In Legs And Stomach - AFU Soldier Abandoned By His Own Is Rescued By Russian Troops
https://www.bitchute.com/video/4ufjSgOYaSk8/

"‼️🇷🇺 "🅾️tvazhnye" rescued a wounded Ukrainian militant

He was abandoned by his brothers after he was wounded in the stomach and legs. They saw that he was alive, but they abandoned him anyway. For three days he lay like this without water and food, drinking urine. Our people evacuated him and took him to the hospital.

Such an attitude towards their comrades-in-arms says only one thing. The Armed Forces of Ukraine have definitely ceased to be a regular army, it has turned into a pack of bandits without any principles and ideas.

That is why Ukraine will never be able to win, the political technologies of the rotten regime work on the Maidan, but not on the battlefield."
