Ukraine has claimed that Russian troops have started raping women as they continue their invasion attempt. Foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Vladimir Putin's forces of committing sex attacks as they invade cities, and that there are 'numerous' cases of women being targeted, reports the Mirror.
Speaking to the Chatham House foreign affairs think-tank via a video link, he said: "When bombs fall on your cities, when soldiers rape women in the occupied cities - and we have numerous cases of, unfortunately, when Russian soldiers rape women in Ukrainian cities - it's difficult of course to speak about the efficiency of international law.
“But this is the only tool of civilisation that is available to us, to make sure that in the end, eventually, all those who made this war possible will be brought to justice, and the Russian Federation, as a country that committed an act of aggression, will be held accountable for its deeds.”
