They need to be stopped. The Russian military raped at least 171 Ukrainians, including 13 children

"The perpetrator is always the attacker, the aggressor, not the victim. The victims must know it. The state is always on their side and all the international law, all the free world on their side. We must guarantee support and assistance to everyone. And we are obliged to guarantee them most importantly - Justice. Punishment of their abusers. " Opinion. It happened in Kherson region. Threatening the use of weapons, the military of the Russian Federation has repeatedly raped a 62-year-old woman.

Now psychologists work with it. It happened in the Kyiv region. The invaders raped a girl and mom, their father was beaten and forced to watch. Psychological help is also provided by the family. Another family in the Kyiv region, mom, daughter and grandson, was abused by the invaders for two weeks. Now she is constantly given psychological support. It happened in Svyatogorsk. The woman was raped by three Russian military.

She now works with a psychologist and even helps other women who have also been violence. These are just some cases of sexual abuse committed by Russian invaders investigating the prosecutor general's office. And in total, OGP recorded 171 such a fact. Not only women are not only women. Among the victims of 39 men and 13 minors, including a boy. We know about this because the victims and their loved ones have found their strength to testify.

We do not know how many people suffer silently, especially in the occupied territories. I told this at the International Forum United For Justice. It was attended by the first lady of Latvia, Mrs. Andra Levite, President of the European Parliament, Ms. Robert Metzola, Ms. Viceremier-Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration Olga Stephanyshyn and Special Representative of the UN Secretary General for Sexual Violence.

This event should be a legal "Ramstein" that will help combine efforts to bring all the perpetrators of international crimes against Ukraine. The truth is that the victim is never responsible for the crime. Only the performer is responsible. Always a guilty attacker, aggressor, not a victim. Here's what the victims need to know. They need to know that the state is always on their side and all international law, the whole free world on their side.

Should guarantee support and psychological assistance to everyone. And most importantly, we are all obliged to guarantee them the most important thing - justice. Punishment for their abusers. But this is not only the victims, not only to Ukrainians. The condemnation of Russian rapes and their other military crimes is required as a precedent.
