Rape of girls as young as 4 and women as old as 82. Routine genital electrocution of male Ukrainian prisoners. This is just a fragment of the absolutely nightmarish stuff from the just-released UN report on sexual violence in Russia's invasion of Ukraine: • Violations detailed in the report include rape, gang rape, genital mutilation, electric shocks, and genital beating • Russian forces are responsible for the vast majority of sexual violence in Ukraine • The majority of victims are Ukrainian men. In a common form of torture against Ukrainian POWs detailed in the report, Russian forces electrocuted men's genitals using tasers or a Soviet-era military field telephone known as a 'tapik.' • Women and children, primarily in Ukrainian territory occupied by Russian forces, also fell victim to rapes and sexual assault. The youngest documented rape survivor was a four-year-old girl, and the oldest was an 82-year-old woman, with both cases perpetrated by Russian forces. kyivindependent.com/abhorrent-acts…
