A United Nations report says conflict-related sexual violence is widespread in Ukraine, with most cases attributed to Russian forces. The report details serious abuses against civilians and people in detention, including allegations of gang rape and genital mutilation.
Across the accounts, the UN assessment attributes 89% of documented incidents to the Russian side, while 11% are linked to Ukraine. The report also states that victims of sexual violence in detention are often men. Different outlets emphasize different implications of the findings: some focus on the attribution figures, while others stress the specific types of violations and the fact that they continue during the war.
