The Russian army is standing on the battlefield of Ukraine.
A United Nations report on the Russia-Ukraine war has sent shockwaves around the world. A UN report claims Russia is carrying out “systematic” torture and rape in Ukraine. This sensational report of the United Nations has come out on the completion of 2 years of war between Russia and Ukraine. For more than two years, Moscow has won ground on the ground in its war against Ukraine. Russia has occupied about 5 territories of Ukraine.
United Nations investigators said on Friday that Russia is committing serious human rights violations and war crimes in Ukraine, including “systematic” torture and rape.
The High-Level Commission of Inquiry (CoI) on the situation of rights in Ukraine since the all-out Russian invasion of Kiev said it had found new evidence of widespread abuses. The COI also expressed concern over the continued use of explosive weapons in urban areas. A “pattern of neglect by the Russian armed forces for potential harm to civilians” has been confirmed.
Russian authorities violated international humanitarian law.
COI chief Eric Moss told reporters that the evidence shows that Russian authorities have committed war crimes in violation of international human rights and international humanitarian law. “Further investigation is needed to fully determine whether some of the conditions identified may constitute crimes against humanity,” he said. Confirming previous findings, the United Nations said torture by Russian authorities had been “widespread and systematic” in both Ukraine and Russia. Investigators said they prepared their latest report after speaking to more than 800 people during 16 separate trips to Ukraine.
Horrible treatment of prisoners of war
The team found that Russia’s treatment of Ukrainian prisoners of war was “appalling”. It “documents incidents of rape and other sexual violence against women that amounts to torture.” It also notes incidents of violence with a sexual dimension and threats of rape against prisoners of war. Details provided.” Investigators also found “additional evidence” that Ukrainian children were illegally transported to Russian-controlled territory.
Also accused of stealing documents
Investigators first focused on Russia’s looting of Ukrainian cultural objects and archival documents, particularly from the city of Kherson, which was captured by Russian forces in March 2022. During the last weeks of the occupation in October and November 2022, “Russian authorities transferred cultural objects from the Kherson Regional Art Museum and archives from the State Archives of Kherson Province to occupied Crimea. More than 10,000 objects from the museum and state 70 percent of the documents have been removed from the archive’s main building, a United Nations report calling this cultural appropriation a “war crime.”
