People who fled their homeland with a suitcase in their hand, saw rape and murder before their eyes. Russian soldiers, as Ukrainians say, took women from their homes and raped them.
And after satisfying their sexual urges, they often killed them.
"Russian soldiers are animals," Anna Shevchenko, who lived through the refugee crisis at the age of 63, claims in the British newspaper Mail. Shevchenko could not believe what she experienced before she left her hometown of Irpin when the Russian soldiers invaded.
"They dragged women like this to take them out of their homes and sexually abuse them."
"I saw several soldiers raping a mother and her 15-year-old daughter," the 63-year-old Ukrainian woman said, accusing the Kremlin of war crimes.
"You can't believe what we experienced there. Russians are animals. I hate them. One of my neighbors was shot in the back of the head by the Russians. Earlier he had killed a stray dog to eat as we had no food.
But they looked at his hands and thought he was going to shoot them, so they killed him despite the fact that he was old. Putin must pay for what his soldiers did."
For his part, 71-year-old Mikola Kovalenko saw Russian soldiers shoot in cold blood Ukrainians who ran into the streets to save themselves. For refugees fleeing besieged Ukrainian cities, most of the Russian soldiers who kicked down house doors to rape women were drunk.
In Bovary, east of Kiev, a resident also said drunken Russian soldiers looted houses , beat and raped women. Olga Budarov, 58, claimed that many women were found hanging after being raped. "I don't know if the Russians had done it or if they committed suicide after what was done to them," she said."
