Mass rapes are not 'routine' for most wars. Its an atrocity that is being committed by Russia against Ukraine. Just like how it was an atrocity when other countries mass rapped people.

This war is purely Russias, it is a war of aggression designed to wipe out a cultural, a people, its genocide.

That Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine is unsurprising they already did this before during the USSR with the holodomor.

Russia is solely responsible for this war.

It's lucky that a lot of Europe is happy to sacrifice both its weapons and some of its economy to stop the authoritarian beast just like they did in WW2.



Are you refering specifically to Lyudmila Denisova's rape accusations? They were pretty serious, yeah.

Genocide has quite a high bar. Biden's opinion is currently that what Russia is doing doesnt meet it.

Genocide is certainly a high bar and the Russians are certainly doing their very best to meet it, its arguable if they are meeting it but per the definition of the UN they are easily meeting it.

Even without anything else Russia is already doing.

That one is notable because she had zero evidence and said she was doing it to ensure Ukraine got more weapons.

Wikipedia refers to her accusations but leaves the part out where she was fired for doing that.

Your team (Azov) committed rape all the way back in 2014, as documented by OHCHR: http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Countries/UA/Ukraine_14th_HRM...


Yeah her accusations are only part of it theirs plenty of independent accusations on their.

Why did you need evidence anyway according to you mass rape is a standard part of war no?. So we can expect the Russian armed forces to mass rape in every war yes?.
