Russian troops 'systematically raped' 25 women, girls as young as 14 in a Bucha basement, Ukraine says

The Week

After five weeks of Russian occupation, the suburb of Bucha is a landscape of horrors, according to a graphic photo essay by The New York Times.

The bodies of more than 350 people were discovered in the area, including more than 250 killed by bullets or shrapnel, and are being investigated as war crimes, according to the chief regional prosecutor. There are many cases of torture and sexual violence.

One man who fled his home with his wife when a Russian armored vehicle rammed their fence said when they returned home, they found it had been emptied of trash and beer bottles.

According to the human rightsbudswoman for Ukraine, she has recorded many cases of sexual violence by Russian troops in Bucha and other places, which may have been revenge for stiff Ukrainian resistance.

In one case, about 25 girls and women aged 14 to 24 were raped in the basement of one house. Denisova said that Russian soldiers told them they would rape them if they had sex with a man.

It is incredibly difficult to prosecute war crimes, according to CBS News, which spoke to a woman who said she was raped by a Russian soldier. More than 500 people, including Russian politicians, military personnel, and propagandists, have been identified as being involved in Russian war crimes, according to the prosecutor general of Ukraine.

Russian officials have been accused of moving thousands of people from Mariupol to the Russian border.
