The announcement comes a day after shocking photographs and video emerged from Bucha, near Kyiv, showing people strewn on the streets with their hands tied, close-range bullet wounds, and signs of torture.
Digital Desk: Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenk stated on Monday that Russian soldiers were humiliating women and physically molesting girls as citizens continued to suffer the effects of war.
The Ukrainian MP sharing terrible details and photographs from the war-torn sections of the country claimed that the Russian soldiers “raped, tortured, and slaughtered” women and minor girls as young as 10 years old during the continued combat between the two countries.
In a Tweet, the Ukrainian MP wrote, “Russian soldiers loot, rape and kill. 10 y.o. girls with vaginal and rectal tears. Women with swastika-shaped burns. Russia. Russian Men did this. And Russian mothers raised them. A nation of immoral criminals.”
“Tortured body of a raped and killed woman. I’m speechless. My@mind is paralyzed with anger and fear and hatred,” she wrote in another Tweet, sharing some pictures of the war-torn country.
The announcement comes a day after shocking photographs and video emerged from Bucha, near Kyiv, showing people strewn on the streets with their hands tied, close-range bullet wounds, and signs of torture.
The Ukrainian government has accused Russia of war crimes at Bucha, where a “mass killing” transformed into a mass grave, with 410 civilian bodies discovered. Moscow has refuted the charges and asked the UN Security Council to arrange a meeting to examine what its defence ministry described as Kyiv’s “provocation by Ukrainian radicals.”
Ukrainian troops recently reclaimed control of the Kyiv region, including Bucha, from their Russian rivals. Images of a slit trench where the bodies were laid circulated widely, while the grave was hidden behind a church in the town centre.
While talks are set to resume on Monday, Ukraine has so far proposed abandoning its NATO ambitions and declaring official neutrality in exchange for security guarantees from Western countries. It also proposed temporarily deferring the issue of Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014, as well as two breakaway territories in the Donbas that Russia recognizes as an independent.
