During a 35-day detention by invading Russian forces, a Ukrainian official sobbed as she described the anguish that her town’s residents had to undergo. During an interview, the official, Maryna Beschastna, deputy mayor of Ivankiv, said that Russian soldiers raped two sisters, ages 15 and 16.
“Two sisters, ages 15 and 16, were raped in a village. Women were dragged from their basements by their hair in order to be assaulted “ITV News quoted Ms Beschastna.
She went on to say that young Ukrainian females began cutting their hair in order to seem “less attractive” and avoid being raped by Russians.
A Ukrainian woman claimed that she was raped by Russian forces minutes after her husband was killed, as her terrified four-year-old kid cried in the adjacent room.
Ukrainian officials disclosed death and destruction in Bucha, another city near the capital, earlier this week. About a week ago, Russian troops retreated from the Kyiv region to regroup in the east, leaving images of murder and horror in commuter towns surrounding the capital.
During an address in which he exhibited terrible pictures of dead bodies – including children were victims of Russian atrocities, Mr Zelensky dared the UN to “act immediately” or “dissolve yourself entirely.”
