Independent U.N.-backed human rights experts say they have evidence of war crimes committed by Russian forces in the fight against Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities believe cases of sexual assault by Russian occupiers are vastly underreported. Shame and many factors underlie survivors’ unwillingness to report rapes.“In some cases, torture was inflicted with such brutality that it caused the death of the victims,” Mose said.
The commission, in its report, said Russian soldiers in Ukraine’s southern Kherson region “raped and committed sexual violence against women of ages ranging from 19 to 83 years,” and often “family members were kept in an adjacent room hence being forced to hear the violations taking place.”
