Russian troops raped and tortured children in Ukraine, U.N. panel says
The findings by the United Nations experts are the latest allegations of war crimes against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.
The findings by the United Nations experts are the latest allegations of war crimes against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.
Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.
Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings Friday in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities in four regions.
“Based on the evidence gathered by the commission, it has concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine,” Erik Mose, the chairman of the three-member commission, told the U.N. Human Rights Council.
No wonder the Republicans side with Russia.
174And the Democrats with israel, which has been accused by the UN of the same things three days ago.
The IDF rapes women, sexually violates children, and executes them.
-38Republicans also side with Israel.

Fuck russia, including the republican traitor filth.
84In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from 4 to 82 years.
Absolutely disgusting. I hope these bastards die the most painful death imaginable.
54Fuck russia
54Lovely. Thanks for that Russia. I really needed reminding on how abhorrent humans can be, to get me through my day
39If you hated that, wait until you see the shit Israel is doing in Gaza.

14I've seen a lot of terrible footage out of Gaza but the absolute worst shit I've ever seen was done by Russian assault groups in the early days of the invasion. Justice for all.

Sounds very Russian.
38Fuck Russia
26My Grand-Grand-Grandmother offered herself to soviet soldiers so they didn't rape her daughter (around 30 back then) and grandchildren (2-10). The Soviet War Memorial in Berlin is nicknamed "Memorial of the Unknown Rapist".
My Grand-Grand-Grandmother sacrifice didn't help and therefore one of my ancestor is a raping soviet soldier. And if you learn that your Grand-Aunt just can't remember being raped because she was too young...

“There are examples of cases where relatives were forced to witness the crimes," he added. "In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from 4 to 82 years."
Children also have been killed and wounded in “indiscriminate attacks” by Russian forces using explosive weapons, he said.
It's frightening how easily people can lose their moral compass, and behave so disgustingly.
18It’s frightening how easily people can lose their moral compass, and behave so disgustingly.
The Russians didn't lose their moral compass. They never had one.
12That's not completely true. Putin just sent the ones without a compass to the front lines.
13I don't know much about this but I think it's a psychological thing encouraged by commanders.
When soldiers behave this way it reinforces a belief that the enemy will show no mercy if they surrender. Something like that.

Very disgusting to see.
18We live in a shitty simulation right guys? This isn’t real….right?
12Hey, when it gets dark, just remember:
Humanity, on the whole, has been on its best behavior ever in the last fifty years, even with this!
We're literally the peak of civility so far!

"Traditional russian values"
11So nothing has changed since the world war. As I gathered you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10, and to make things worse you weren't allowed to talk about what happened in the following 50 years if your country was liberated by them because the Soviet soldier doesn't do things like that so you'd get in trouble
11you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10
Even that doesn't save you. In the Article they say that they have identified victims with the age ranging from 8-82.
10So they just got worse

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.
Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings Friday in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities in four regions.
Mose, a Norwegian judge, said the commission has documented cases in which children have been "raped, tortured and unlawfully confined."
The update from the commission follows other allegations of war crimes from international human rights groups, Western governments and Ukrainian authorities, including the recent discovery of a mass burial site in the eastern town of Izyum.
The commission focused on the regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy, visiting 27 towns and settlements and interviewing 150 victims and witnesses.
As it continues its investigation, it will examine the forced transfer of people and the alleged expedited adoption of children, Mose said.
The original article contains 466 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
7UN likes to state what already has been said like 2 years ago and then proceed to do nothing like always. Dumb useless corrupt org.
-3What’s the point of articles like this? We know soldiers rape and commit war crimes. Do they think we are unaware? Or are they trying to stoke our emotional fires?
Never forget that the media Manufactures Consent.
-3Probably deserved
-47They deserved this? No one deserves this, let alone children. As a father, you get a hearty fuck you from me you shitty propaganda troll.

8Which part? The verdict or the rapings?

do you think any country in existence actually gives a shit about war crimes
-51Nope. We'll talk about it though!
25Is that good enough reason to excuse them?
23I'm surprised you genuinely believe this. Western sensibilities absolutely value this centrally.

1Yeah yeah, sure. When it comes to the side they have monetary or material interests with.
Not even going to argue over this when their hypocrisy on response to human suffering has been completely 180° different between Ukraine and Gaza. They have been quick enough to send all aid to Ukraine and sanction Russia as much as they can because that conflict is the floodlands preventing west's personal losses, while they were quick on ceasing any established (albeit blocked) aid to Gaza because their regional lackey Israel has claimed there were a dozen UNRWA aid workers that had dealings with Hamas, which is not even supported with any form of evidence so far.

Generally yes. It's the ability to prosecute the war crimes that people don't have much faith in. Putin will more than likely never step foot into The Hague. He'll nuke the planet before he gets hanged for war crimes.
15As long as it ain't Israel they for sure give a shit. Everyone is commiting war crimes, but only Israel is "just" defending themselves
