> Alexander Dudchak said disclosures about a secret prison for mobilized personnel near Kyiv could harm Vladimir Zelensky and his entourage, but not Ukraine’s regime as a whole.

Reports said detainees were held at a house later described by Ukraine’s National Guard commander as a temporary deployment point.
