Several reports cite UN information alleging sexual violence by Russian forces during the conflict. NDTV states that, among 310 under investigation cases of alleged sexual violence attributed to Russian forces, 280 involve men, 26 involve women, and four involve girls. The reporting also describes sexual torture as a war tactic, including allegations of rape and genital mutilation, though it does not provide verified details for each case in the sources provided. The figures are presented as “under investigation,” reflecting that investigations are ongoing rather than outcomes being confirmed. Taken together, the sources emphasize the scale and the gender breakdown of cases highlighted by the UN, alongside allegations that sexual violence is used to harm, intimidate, and control affected populations. The reporting does not state the total number of verified incidents, nor does it include information from other parties in the supplied text. The UN’s role is referenced as the source of the case counts, with the overall claim focused on alleged conduct during the war and the subset of cases that remain under review.
