Rhetoric transmitted in Russian state and other media may constitute "incitement to genocide” as rape and torture by Russian forces in Ukraine continue, UN report finds

"Russian soldiers raped and committed sexual violence against women of ages ranging from 19 to 83 years”, says Erik Møse, chair of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine told the UN Human Rights Council.

Often these crimes are committed together with threats or commission of other violations. “Frequently, family members were kept in an adjacent room, thereby forced to hear the violations taking place,” Mr. Møse added.
