“Estimating the number of sex crimes is impossible at the moment because not all of us have come. “Not everyone is willing to talk.” More evidence of rape in Russian-occupied territories earlier in the day came to light on Tuesday. Current Time, a Russian-language media outlet funded by Radio Free Europe, published a video of a middle-aged woman revealing that her daughter was raped in their village of Mala Rohan, in the northeastern Kharkiv region. She said her daughter, whose identity was not released, took her off the street and was raped by a Russian soldier at a local school. “He took her to a classroom on the second floor and raped her all night. “He cut her cheek and neck,” he said. The woman said her daughter was too upset to speak directly to reporters. The United Nations on Monday warned of an increased risk of sexual violence, calling for an independent investigation into the reports. Speaking to the Security Council, Sima Bahous, a UN staff member working on gender equality and women’s empowerment, said allegations of rape and sexual violence “should be investigated independently to ensure justice and accountability “.
