Are Russian soldiers RAPING Ukrainian women? Foreign minister makes shocking claims
Ukraine's foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba has made the shocking claim that Russian soldiers are raping Ukrainian women in captured territories across the country. Speaking at an online event hosted by Chatham House, Kuleba alleged, "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 the international law."
Barely days before the war started, Ukrainian women in the city of Kharkiv reported that Russian soldiers were bombarding them with flirty messages on Tinder. In fact, the Red Army Commanders were sharing their locations and photos in uniforms to woo the "enemy". Dozens of Russian soldiers are on their Tinder around the same time Putin ordered an influx of troops into the country. At present, the situation is more grim and dangerous, as Russian troops are indiscriminately bombing and killing Ukrainians on Putin's orders.

Russians have laid siege to several regions in Ukraine including the major city of Kherson. Ukrainian media recently reported eleven cases of rape in the city, which is currently occupied by Russian soldiers. Kuleba shared the same information to the media, adding that he wishes to "spread the truth about Russia's crimes against Ukraine."
"Sorry I may not look like a foreign minister," Kuleba said, adding, "We are fighting against the enemy who is much stronger than us. But international law is on our side, and hopefully it will help us. It will make its own contribution to help us prevail."
He further noted, "'But this is the only tool of civilization 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 also be held accountable for its deeds."
Incidents of violence by the Russian forces have surfaced online, as Putin's troops rained gunfire on a family trying to flee Kyiv, killing the children Polina and Semyon. Another viral video showed the soldiers firing at a young man and his father, who were trying to escape the borders with their three rescued dogs. Eventually, the father was killed while the son desperately begged for his life on video.
Several video clips also show Russian bombs and missiles striking apartments, schools, and public buildings in Kyiv, Mykolaiv, Kharkiv, and other cities in Ukraine. In fact, barely 24 hours ago, Russia sparked global concerns when they attacked the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, the largest active nuclear facility in Europe.
