Ukrainian women and girls have testified after fleeing the war torn nation that they were routinely targeted, assaulted, and raped.
Sexual
violence and the use of the act of raping women during conquest is
nothing new, the tactic dates back to the bronze age.
“Women
and girls have been under constant threats of being raped by sexually
deprived and depraved Russian solders”, said a victim who wishes to
remain anonymous.
Western
nations were disgusted yesterday due to a picture taken by Mikail
Plainchak, the photograph in question depicts four chard bodies: A
single man and three naked women.
The
photograph was submitted as evidence for currently ongoing cataloging of Russian war crimes, it is speculated that they were
all siblings and that a unit of Russian soldiers raped the women as
their brother was forced to watch.
This
must be stressed is just a theory by prosecutors and has not been
confirmed as what happened to the four bodies, what can be confirmed
was that all three women were raped due to marks on the neck and
seminal fluid found in both their private areas.
Rape
and torture have been used by the Russians since the war began to demoralize women and girls, it is understandably difficult to
comprehend the lack of humanity the Russian soldiers have.
As
Russia relocates to the Donetsk Peoples Republic (DPR) and Crimea as
apart of their new strategy, the women left alive have told police,
the army, journalists, human rights charities, and foreign
governments about the pain they had to endure.
Sexual
assault and harassment, rape, gang rape, sodomy, the raping of little
girls, and being forced to dance naked at gun point are some of the
crimes these women endured whilst under Russian occupation.
According to International Humanitarian Law and the Geneva Convention: “The act of forced sex upon an enemy combatant and/or civilian is a war crime”.
