Threats of rape & unintended pregnancy
Ukraine Under Attack • 1m 31s
Reports of rape and sexual assaults on Ukrainian women have multiplied since the beginning of Russia’s attack on Ukraine on February 24.
Claims of sexual assaults date back to March 4, after Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba accused Russian soldiers of committing rape in Ukrainian cities.
Kuleba did not present evidence supporting the allegations, and Reuters was unable to independently verify them.
Russia has denied that it has targeted civilians.
