And Putin, out of the kindness of his heart, sent soldiers in to kill more civilians and rape children, so he could seize territory and strip Ukraine of it's natural resources.

Raped children? I read a lot of western news and I never heard about that.

The report:

In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from four to 82 years. The Commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined. Children have also been killed and injured in indiscriminate attacks with explosive weapons.

According to the report though there have just been some cases of Russian soldiers doing it. There doesn’t appear to be the weaponised use of sexual violence a la Isreal, but ya wars are always like this. I’ll never understand the people who simp for them.

Edit: Before any one wants to call me out for minimising SA

Literally every war ever is full of SA

And the report provides... zero evidence. How come there's plenty of evidence for Ukraine's crimes (always discredited as Russia propaganda) but Ukraine can just say shit and it's up to everyone else to prove they're lying?
