Ukraine says Russian snipers abused child, raped mother FMTNews FMTWorld
KYIV: Ukraine has accused two Russian soldiers of sexually assaulting a four-year-old girl and gang raping her mother at gunpoint in front of her father, as part of widespread allegations of abuse during the more than one-year-long invasion.
During Moscow’s failed push to capture Kyiv after its Feb 24 invasion, soldiers entered Brovary a few days later, looting and using sexual violence as a deliberate tactic to terrorise the population, the Ukrainian prosecutors said. The family survived, though prosecutors said they are investigating additional crimes in the area including murders during the same period.
When Reuters called a number in online databases for him, a person saying he was Chernoknizhniy’s brother said he was deceased.“That’s all that I can say.”Russian president Vladimir Putin’s government says it is fighting ‘neo-Nazis’ in Ukraine. At another location where several families lived, the soldiers forced everyone into the kitchen and gang raped a 15-year-old girl and her mother, they said.A pre-trial investigation is ongoing into the possible role of superior officials in the Brovary attacks, prosecutors said, in a case adding to growing allegations of systematic sexual abuse by Russian soldiers.
While suspects are unlikely to be surrendered by Moscow, anyone convicted in absentia may be placed on international watchlists, which would make it difficult to travel.
