World'Abhorrent acts': UN reports widespread sexual violence by Russian forces in Ukraine
A UN human rights report says Russian forces accounted for 89% of 1,004 verified conflict-related sexual-violence cases in Ukraine between February 2022 and July 2026, while Ukrainian forces accounted for 11%. It describes rape, torture and degrading treatment of civilians and prisoners of war, and says the findings are incomplete because such crimes may be underreported and investigators lack access to occupied territory.
