the ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky denounced on Tuesday “hundreds of cases of rape” in the areas occupied by the Russian army“including underage girls and very young children.”
“In the areas liberated from the occupants, the registration and war crimes investigation committed by Russia. New mass graves are found almost daily,” he said in a message to the Lithuanian Parliament via videoconference.
Thousands and thousands of victims. Hundreds of cases of torture. Bodies continue to be found in sewers and cellars,” Zelensky said.
“Hundreds of rape cases have been recorded, including those of underage girls and very young children. Even a baby! Just talking about it is scary,” Zelensky said.
the lithuanian president Nauseda Gypsies affirmed, for his part, that “it is simply impossible to imagine greater horrors” and lamented that “some countries of the European Union still do not dare to decide when they are going to limit purchases of Russian oil“.
Several testimonies collected by the media corroborate the fears of the NGOs, who point to indications of the use of rape as a “weapon of war”. A Ukrainian woman told AFP that she was raped by two Russian soldiers when they learned that she was the wife of a Ukrainian military man.
