Horrific sexual crimes committed by the racist occupiers continue to be revealed

In one of the villages in the Ingulets direction of the Kherson region, russian invaders raped a 16-year-old pregnant girl and a 78-year-old grandmother.

The Office of the Attorney General has uncovered rapes of not only women but also men.

Sexual crimes against an elderly woman and children have been recorded in Borodyanka, Kyiv Region.

The perpetration of sexual violence in armed conflict is a war crime and a violation of fundamental principles of international humanitarian law - Article 27 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949.

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian Military Invasion of Ukraine and the expert mission set up by the OSCE participating States in accordance with the Moscow Mechanism to take into account these facts of Russian war crimes in Ukraine.
