Ukraine: Baby (1) dead after being raped by Russian soldiers
The Ministry said in a post on Twitter: “Today, in just one hour, 10 reports of rape by the Russian occupiers, including eight children, were received from newly liberated villages in the Kharkiv region.
“Yesterday – 56 reports.
“Among the children: two 10-year-old boys and a one-year-old boy who died of his injuries.”
The reports have not been confirmed.
The United Nations last month demanded an independent investigation into rape in Ukraine.
Sima Bahous, Executive Director for UN Women, told a council meeting: “We are increasingly hearing of rape and sexual violence.
“These allegations must be independently investigated to ensure justice and accountability.”
She added: “The combination of mass displacement with the large presence of conscripts and mercenaries, and the brutality displayed against Ukrainian civilians, has raised all red flags.” Express Uk
