Law enforcement and human rights activists record cases of rape by the Russian military on the territory of Ukraine. One of them took place in Vorzel, Kyiv region.
A citizen of Kazakhstan, Konstantin Kyastutisovich, who rescued people from the occupied territories, spoke about one of them exclusively to the Channel 24 website.

Konstantin Kyastutisovich saved people from the occupied Vorzel for a month. In one of the districts there was the main concentration of Russians. There were weapons and the invaders lived. There were many requests for help from there, because people were not even allowed to evacuate.
The man said that the inhabitants were kept there like a human shield – women, children, the elderly. People lived without food, so he decided to bring them humanitarian aid.
I drove up and laid out the products from the trunk. At that moment, a girl crawled into the trunk. I didn't even see her. I saw, when I had already driven off, that I had a child clinging between the seats. When I saw her look, she simply said, “Save me.” I experienced such fear then, because I understood that something was wrong, and they could look for her, the man recalled.

Terrible Story of a Girl
According to Kyastutisovich, the 15-year-old girl lay like this until the Ukrainian checkpoint – she didn’t even get up. She subsequently revealed that she had been raped and abused. A 14-year-old boy was killed in front of a child, and his mother was shot. The woman bled for two days and subsequently died. The girl herself sat in the basement for ten days.
When she told me the whole story, I didn't sleep for two days. I didn't go to Vorzel the next day, I just cried. I could not imagine that in the 21st century people can do this. They were 20-year-old guys, Russians, who mocked her. They drank, they raped her, they filmed it on the phone. They actually showed on her all the hatred for Ukraine, on this 15-year-old girl, the man noted.
Currently, the girl was sent to Latvia, where she is undergoing rehabilitation.
