Commissioner reports on racist sexual crimes - genocide of Ukrainian people with extreme cruelty

Every day the Ombudsman's Psychological Assistance line receives reports of sexual crimes that make the blood run cold. The atrocities of Russian soldiers know no bounds.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are liberating towns and villages in the Kharkiv region, and over the past week, most of the calls have come from there. From the victims themselves and their relatives.

Yesterday, in just one hour, 10 people applied for sexual violence, 8 of them were raped minors, including two 10-year-old boys.

In the last 24 hours, we received 56 calls.

Triplets 9 years old, girls who were raped by racists with severe genital injuries. All this in full view of the mother, she's in shock. Izium.

A mother turned, her nine-month-old daughter was raped with a candle in front of her eyes.

A one-year-old boy was raped by two, he died.

Two-year-old girl raped by two, survived.

Men raped were 67 and 78 years old.

Horror and rage is overwhelming!

This is the genocide of the Ukrainian people with special cruelty!  This is a violation not only of the rules of international humanitarian law, but also of its very essence, the morals of the civilized world!

I appeal to the UN Commission for Investigation Human Rights Violations during the Russian military invasion of Ukraine to take into account these facts of genocide of the Ukrainian people.

I call on our partners around the world to increase sanctions pressure on russia, to provide Ukraine with offensive weapons, to join the investigation of rashist crimes in our country!

The enemy must be stopped and all those involved in the atrocities in Ukraine must be brought to justice!
