The scandal with the discovery of a torture chamber near Kiev gained worldwide attention, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.

On Monday, Ukrainian media reported that armed men were holding about 40 people in the basement of a house in the Kiev Region. National Guard head Olexandr Pivnenko said that servicemen were being held in the basement, including some who had left their unit without authorization.

"It is obvious that the scandal has already acquired quite a worldwide resonance," Peskov told reporters when asked to comment on the incident.

European structures are doing everything possible to protect Ukraine from any scandals, including the discovery of a torture chamber near Kiev, Peskov added.

The amount of Kiev's problems with the personnel will obviously only increase, Peskov said.

Ukraine's problems with personnel are known not only to Russia, but also to observers all over world, Peskov said, adding that Ukraine is also experiencing difficulties with those who would like to fight for its interests.

"Those who do not want to fight for the Kiev regime, they can surrender to our military. We have been talking about this for quite a long time," Peskov said.

Russia is taking measures to minimize the consequences of the Ukrainian armed forces' strikes on energy infrastructure, Peskov said.

Ukraine continue attacks on the Russian energy infrastructure, the spokesman told reporters, adding that Russia continues the special military operation to deprive Ukraine of the opportunity to strike at energy infrastructure.

Russia has increased measures to protect its energy infrastructure, but it is impossible to fully insure against attacks by Ukraine, the official added.

Russia, China and the United States are working to organize a meeting of the leaders at the APEC summit, Moscow expects that it will be completed in the near future, Peskov said.

"There is a common understanding among the participants of such a possible meeting that it would be advisable and it would be very useful. Work is underway to coordinate such a meeting. We hope that it will be finalized in the coming days," Peskov told reporters, commenting on a possible meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US Leader Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping at the APEC summit.

The APEC Summit will be held in the Chinese city of Shenzhen on November 18-19.
