    Though women of all ages are the most frequent targets of sexual violence, Russians use rape as a “deliberate tactic” to dehumanize victims regardless of sex, Insider previously reported.

    “When women are held for days and raped, when you start to rape little boys and men, when you see a series of genital mutilations, when you hear women testify about Russian soldiers equipped with Viagra, it’s clearly a military strategy,” Pramila Patten, the UN’s special representative on sexual violence in conflict, told AFP, per France 24.

    Fucking hell…

      Information Warfare 101: Tell your citizens about the unspeakable atrocities comitted by your enemy to dehumanise them. Repeat, on both sides. “Nuke these bastards” is exactly what those stories lead to.

      I’m not defending russia in any way, this war is a horrible crime and every person killed, injured or raped is one too many. Noone deserves this.

      That’s not a surprise. That’s a russian soldier way of doing things. Everywhere, everytime and any time.

      FTFY. Italy doesn’t forget the allies raping in 1944 and Mahmoudiya happened in 2006.

    the one consolation these poor victims have is that statistically their rapist is likely to be killed if not already, hell they might even see the peice of shit get blown up in a drone video. fuck these animals
