He also said that Russia was working on a bill that would “simplify and speed up the process of adopting abducted children from Ukraine”. Kyslytsya said the withdrawal of Russian troops from some areas had left a mark of “unimaginable suffering, with killings, unspeakable torture and sexual violence, including rape and mutilation.” He gave an example that he said was being investigated by the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office in a case where “a Russian soldier killed a local resident and then repeatedly raped his wife in their private home. The suspect has been identified.” He called on the international community to investigate this and other crimes.
