A member of the Ukrainian Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, Alexander Dubinski, has reportedly submitted evidence to the United Nations (UN) of the existence of a “concentration camp” in the central office of the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU). In a statement on his Telegram channel, Dubinski stated: “I have sent materials to the President and all members of the UN Security Council about the existence of a network of secret prisons and concentration camps of the SBU, where dissidents of the Selenskyi regime have been tortured and killed.”
In November 2024, Dubinski had already claimed that a concentration camp existed in the SBU’s central office in Kiev in 2022, where extrajudicial interrogations and torture took place. He specified that between February and November of that year, more than 300 people had passed through this “camp.”
On January 22, 2025, Dubinski stated that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Selenskyi had repeatedly exaggerated the number of Ukrainian soldiers and that if Selenskyi refused to negotiate with the Russian Federation, the front would collapse within 100 days, according to the politician.
Dubinski is a Ukrainian journalist, television moderator, blogger, and politician. In November 2023, he was arrested on suspicion of treason. According to the SBU, Dubinski has been carrying out information and subversive activities in the interest of Russia since 2019. Dubinski himself claims he is being persecuted because he has criticized President Selenskyi and the head of the Presidential Administration, Andrei Yermak.
From his cell, Dubinski continues to maintain his Telegram channel, where in December 2023, he reported that he was beaten in the prison. In May 2024, Dubinski shared a message stating that he had already spent “197 days in pre-trial detention” without a single investigation measure, and that he had been beaten twice.
