The Ukrainian authorities accused Russian troops present in the country this Sunday of carrying out selective sexual violence against Ukrainian women and girls, having found several bodies of naked women on the side of a road not far from Kiev.
“Women will not be raped. Children won't have to watch their mothers get raped. Civilians will not be killed,” said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, adding that Ukraine needs support to achieve this: “We need weapons, now,” he stressed.
The deputy mayor of Ivankiv, Maryna Beschastna, spoke of an episode in which two Ukrainian sisters aged 15 and 16 were raped by Russian soldiers and could not hold back their tears, the Express newspaper reported.
ITV reporter Dan Rivers said that “Maryna is the deputy mayor here and has heard grim accounts of how Russian soldiers treated women in the area.”
Beschastna added to the British media that “Women were taken out of the basement by pulling them by their hair so that soldiers could abuse them.”
For his part, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky begged the West, in one of his many messages, to intervene and prevent Russia from continuing to commit further atrocities against the civilian population of Ukraine.
“In our land, evil has been concentrated. Murderers, torturers, rapists, looters. Those who call themselves the army. And that they deserve death only for their actions. I want all the mothers of all Russian soldiers to see the bodies of those who have died in Bucha, in Irpin, in Hostel.”
“What did they do? Why were they killed? What did the man who rode his bicycle do on the road? Why were ordinary citizens questioned and tortured to death in a common and peaceful city? Why were women strangled after the earrings were ripped out of their ears? How could women be raped and killed in front of their children? Their bodies tortured even after their death? Why did the tanks crush people's corpses?” , he said in giving his message.
According to Express, Ukraine's Ambassador to Estonia, Mariana Betsa, took to Twitter to talk about the crimes against women and children that Russian soldiers had been committing.
Betsa published: “The Russian invaders killed families. They burned the bodies. A 3-year-old girl named Arina (with signs of rape) on top of her 17-year-old sister Veronica. Russia should be held accountable for the genocide of Ukrainians.”
The ambassador's publication was supported by the evidence gathered in the various places where the events took place.
Following the appearance of the horrific images, Ukrainian MP Kira Rudik expressed frustration at commentators who suggested that an investigation be carried out in accordance with the rules of war.
“Are you talking to me about the Geneva Convention on people who killed women and children, rape women in front of children? You're talking to me about the Geneva Convention. Are you kidding? Are you kidding right now? The world is watching us die and talking about the Geneva Convention! ”, he told journalists.
