Elena Zelenskaya raised the topic of mass rape of Ukrainian women by the Russian military/Collage of Channel 24
The wife of the President of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska, gave a long interview to the international news agency Anadolu. The First Lady, in particular, commented on the mass cases of rape of Ukrainian women by the Russian military.
Zelenskaya stressed that it is really more difficult to talk about this than about murders. Rape victims have experienced the horror with which they are now forced to go through life.
The scale of rape is horrendous, it needs to be talked about
Olena Zelenska noted that it is harder for rape victims to speak than for relatives of the victims. Because going out and saying “this happened to me” is like reliving those events again. Therefore, the Ukrainian side discloses such facts with extreme caution so as not to injure people again.
However, according to Zelenskaya, the scale of rape of Ukrainian women by Russians is horrendous, it is simply it is necessary to speak. In an interview, the first lady also spoke about the most high-profile cases of rape of Ukrainian women by Russian soldiers, which have already become known to society.
Murder is a broken life. Rape is also a broken life, but after which a person must somehow live, collect himself piece by piece,” Zelenskaya stressed.
The First Lady noted that the Russian army turned out to be not only marauders and murderers of civilians, but and “collective maniac”enjoying the suffering of others. And, as is typical of a maniac, the Russian occupier demonstrates his “strength” not in a fair fight, but through atrocities against defenseless people.
Zelenskaya said that the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada, Lyudmila Denisova, records all such cases. The relevant authorities already know about 25 women and underage girls in Bucha who were forcibly detained by Russian monsters.
I want to tell all our women, girls who survived like, you are priceless. And what happened to you is the fault of exclusively armed perverts. Please don’t be silent, don’t keep the pain in yourself, talk to us, talk to those you trust,” the First Lady addressed the Ukrainian women.
Thus, Zelenskaya stressed, the victims will help to punish the criminals< /strong>. She promised to do everything possible so that the girls raped by non-humans could recover and live fully, live happily, because Ukrainian women deserve only the best.
