U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Russia’s invasion of Ukraine had forced millions of women and children to flee for their lives. As of June 3, the U.N.’s human rights office had received 124 reports of sexual violence in Ukraine, mostly against women and girls.
But Russia’s U.N. ambassador, Vasily Nebenzya, said there is no evidence that Russia troops committed sexual crimes. Patten said a national hotline in Ukraine had received reports of sexual violence crimes “ranging from gang rape to coercion to watch[ing] an act of sexual violence committed against a partner or a child.”
“In the current context, many allegations of conflict-related sexual violence are difficult if not impossible to verify, making it challenging to assess the violence,” Patten said.
