Ukraine will not be "silent" about the "horror" of rapes committed against women during the Russian invasion, Ukrainian MP Maria Mezentseva said today. According to her, although reports have been circulating recently mostly about one particularly shocking case, there are "many more victims" who will need support in the future.
LITERALLY HERE ALL DEVELOPMENTS
[/P]The case reported by Mezentseva involves a woman who was allegedly repeatedly raped by Russian soldiers in front of her child.
According to the Sun, a few days ago Prosecutor General Irina Vediktova had spoken out about the case in question, saying that two Russian soldiers stormed the family's home,[/B] located in a village near Kiev, killed the husband and "repeatedly" raped his wife in front of her child, threatening her with weapons and using violence. According to Venediktova, the perpetrators (one of whom was drunk) even went so far as to threaten the child who witnessed the whole horror. Local police managed to identify one soldier and he is wanted, while the identity of the other remains unknown.
Speaking today from western Ukraine to Sky News presenter Sophie Ridge, MP Maria Mezentseva stressed that these incidents must be officially reported and recorded in order for justice to be done. "There is a case that has been widely discussed lately because it was recorded and has now been put in the hands of the Public Prosecutor's Office. I will not go into details, but it is a very horrific incident involving the execution of a civilian in his home in a town near Kiev. His wife excuse me but I must say she was raped several times in front of their minor child."
According to her, Ukraine could benefit from the experience of experts from other countries, such as the UK, to ensure that victims of similar incidents after the war receive the right help.
