    Raped children? I read a lot of western news and I never heard about that.

      https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/russian-troops-raped-tortured-children-ukraine-un-panel-says-rcna49168

      The report:

      https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/09/update-chair-independent-international-commission-inquiry-ukraine-51st-session

      In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from four to 82 years. The Commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined. Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons.

        UN back at it again with “we have witness testimony but no evidence of this adversary of the US doing horrifying acts”

          Or:

          "We have found the evidence to be nonexistent, the case to be exaggerated, the timing and backers to be suspect

          But US media needs a soundbite so here’s a short dismissal and a long condemnation"

        According to the report though there have just been some cases of Russian soldiers doing it. There doesn’t appear to be the weaponised use of sexual violence a la Isreal, but ya wars are always like this. I’ll never understand the people who simp for them.

        Edit: Before any one wants to call me out for minimising SA

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmudiyah_rape_and_killings

        Literally every war ever is full of SA

          And the report provides… zero evidence. How come there’s plenty of evidence for Ukraine’s crimes (always discredited as Russia propaganda) but Ukraine can just say shit and it’s up to everyone else to prove they’re lying?

        I followed the sources they link and the ones those link and found that the best substantiation they have is “according to the accounts collected by some NGOs”.

        I don’t doubt there must be unspeakable shit happening, there’s been a war for so long that monsters are bound to take part. But I’ll hold my judgement as to how systematic it is until evidence is presented, not just claims by notorious liars who said the same shit about Hamas without any evidence and no pushback from these very same publications.
