HRW Report Reveals Torture and War Crimes Against Ukrainian Women by Russian Forces.

Survivors of Russia's occupation of Kherson in Ukraine have described systematic torture, including rape, electrocution, and forced chanting of patriotic Russian songs and slogans. The torture was carried out by Russian forces and agents from the Federal Security Service, with the aim of forcing victims to embrace their new "Russian world." The accounts are part of a growing list of war crimes allegations, including extrajudicial killings and a genocidal campaign to wipe out the Ukrainian identity. Human Rights Watch has released a report detailing the torture sites throughout the region.
