Report points to ‘wilful killing, torture, rape and other sexual violence, and the deportation of children to the Russian Federation’

A United Nations investigation has found further evidence that Russian forces committed “indiscriminate attacks” and war crimes in Ukraine, including rape and the deportation of children to Russia.

“The collected evidence further shows that Russian authorities have committed the war crimes of wilful killing, torture, rape and other sexual violence, and the deportation of children to the Russian Federation,” a United Nations commission of inquiry on Ukraine said in a report submitted to the UN general assembly.

“The commission has recently documented attacks that affected civilian objects, such as residential buildings, a railway station, shops, and a warehouse for civilian use, leading to numerous casualties.”

    Absolutely sickening, it’s insane there isn’t more pressure we can apply to stop this. I mean, there is but that sort of thing would pop off a very big war that nobody wants or needs

    Unfortunately if you talk to any Russian trolls like my old college friend turned anti-westoid moron, this sort of thing is simply a bridge too far. Can’t confirm it for sure unless you’re physically in ukr or something (but Putin’s propaganda is good to take at face value, makes total sense jfc)
