Can’t be much worse than Western media.

“grrrr i don’t trust those stupid proles i need professional propagandists paid by the ruling class to tell me what to believe so i don’t believe my lying eyes!!!”

Instagram is a platform. You could just as well replace Instagram with “internet” or even “humans”. Do you have specific issues with the content presented there? Everything is very well documented nowadays, people have phones you know.

People gathered at the site demanding release of people held there: https://t.me/stranaua/253545

Here the medic shows pictures and videos that were leaked from the site to protesters: https://t.me/stranaua/253559 and here’s the video that started it all, which one of the captives managed to send to his relative (not sure how she’s related to the guy, there are conflicting reports): https://t.me/stranaua/253566

Here the 4 injured are being escorted out of the site: https://t.me/stranaua/253568, here they are in the ambulance: https://t.me/stranaua/253577

Here are journalists allowed to inspect the site, the personnel tells them “There was no torture here, they are just waiting to be assigned to fighting units, everything according to the protocol”, all the people there nod. Journalists notice a man with a bandaged hand and ask who did this, he answers “I did it myself”. Journalists ask, “Do you have any complaints at all? Because people gathered outside are outraged”, they answer “No, everything’s fine”, one man adds “They’re not beating us, I’ve been here 1.5 months and haven’t seen any beatings. Everything’s fine.” Journalists ask where the 4 injured deserters were held, they proceed to examine their quarters and immediately discover bloody bedcovers: https://t.me/stranaua/253586

Here’s Budanov explaining that protesters were allowed to inspect the site and that now he is organising transport to the hospital because people held there need urgent medical attention. When asked “the real question is, why do we have a site like that?” he answers “because there’s plenty of such sites”, when pushed “if there’s plenty why doesn’t anyone know about them?” he promises that first thing next morning he will organise a joint task force with the protesters to find out exactly why such places exist and what is happening in them. He then helps the people to push the police car that was blocking the bus out of the way so that the victims can reach the hospital: https://t.me/stranaua/253610

Afterwards Budanov told the protesters: “Let’s all start dispersing now. You’ve all done a magnificent thing, great job. Thank you all”: https://t.me/stranaua/253622

Here’s Azov commander (Prokopenko) statement acknowledging the site was theirs, that it was used to hold deserters, and that 4 soldiers found there had heavy injuries and were transferred to a hospital. He assures they started the investigation and if any illegal measures were taken against the deserters, the guilty will be punished: https://t.me/stranaua/253603

But then the narrative changes. Prokopenko releases another statement, blaming the protesters for sabotaging the war effort: https://t.me/stranaua/253630 Another Azov member openly calls to: “Keep beating the shit out of deserters, send all civilian removed to the front”: https://t.me/padla_tck/38246

Ukrainian military publishes a video where they deny everything and claim they were just preparing to transport the injured to the hospital when protesters arrived. Also a video recorded by one of the conscripts held at the site appears online, in which he claims all the injuries were caused by another conscript who took drugs and started a fight (but somehow nobody mentioned that when the journalists were at the site): https://t.me/stranaua/253702

Rather than organise a task force to find out what happened, six protesters (including the woman who received the leaked video, the medic and her driver) were arrested and are held without parole: https://t.me/press_kobl/4589 As for the other protesters who “did a magnificent thing”, according to Ukrainian police, they already identified 130 of them and are now invading their homes forcing them to record public apologies: https://t.me/stranaua/253926
