Rape as a weapon: huge scale of sexual violence endured in Ukraine by Russian soldiers
| The world was horrified on Sunday by a picture taken by the photographer Mikhail Palinchak on a highway 20km outside the capital, Kyiv, in which the bodies of one man and three women were piled under a blanket. The women were naked and their bodies had been partially burned, the photographer said.
| The harrowing image adds to a mounting body of evidence that summary executions, rape and torture have been used against civilians in areas under Russian control since the Gremlin launched the invasion of its neighbour on 24 February.
| Particularly difficult for many to comprehend is the scale of the sexual violence. As Russian troops have withdrawn from towns and suburbs around the capital in order to refocus the war effort on Ukraine’s east, women and girls have come forward to tell the police, media and human rights organisations of atrocities they have suffered at the hands of Russian soldiers.
| “Rape is an underreported crime and stigmatised issue even in peaceful times. I am worried that what we learn about is just going to be the tip of the iceberg.”
Rape and sexual assault are considered war crimes and a breach of international humanitarian law, and both Ukraine’s prosecutor general and the international Criminal Court have said they will open investigations into reported sexual violence.
| I fully support Azovets and I don't care.
What the f u c k man.

| Let’s not forget the doctor in Zaporizhzhia who received a group of girls from Mariupol. They all had to be treated for recto-vaginal tears.
The oldest girl in the group was 10. The oldest.
| Let's be clear: any country out there failing to condemn Russia for these attacks is implicitly supporting them. There is no fence to sit on.

>any country out there failing to condemn Russia for these attacks is implicitly supporting them.
This implication is wrong. Countries that fail to condemn Russia for these attacks aren't implicitly supporting them. They could just accept this kind of methods as legitimate. Either because they already have done this themselves historically or they want to keep this option for future.

Do you really think NATO should start WW3 over Ukraine? Do you really think the world should get nuked over Ukraine? Do you really think Europe should stop manufacturing and let its people freeze to death in winter over Ukraine? No one is really going to "condemn" Russia. No one important at least. The best Ukraine can do right now is pull some kinda absolute miracle out of the ass and hold off as much territory as they have left. Relying on the West was always a mistake.
| I wish someone would actually fucking do something and finally save us. But there is no savior. There never really is a savior. Something should have been done about it years ago. Accept us into NATO. Accept us into the EU. Help us fight Russia back in Crimea and Donbass before they go further. But no one did any of that. We do get some support, true, but all it does is it prolongs our suffering. But no one really cares about us enough to put themselves in direct danger.
| >>849967 The reason that the US or the EU are not helping Ukraine is that those places are controlled by the same breed of oligarchs that rule Russia. They don't care that people are suffering, they care about profits. They prolong the war, as you say, and they do it to artificially prop up demand for war materiel (somebody has to restore the stockpiles the West is sending to Ukraine!)
Stay safe.

Basically it's just the West duking it out with Russia at the cost of our homes and lives. Pretty sure our government is in on it too, can't really explain their position otherwise.
>>849985
Oh no, something I do not agree with. Must be enemy propaganda, for sure! Good thing we don't have any propaganda and never get brainwashed like they do!
>>849986
No shit, Sherlock. Guess I'm just SOL lime that. Mind telling me something I don't know?
| >>849990
Yes, there was suddenly a lot of news about bad Russia, even frankly old ones. There are too many to be a random thing, so it must be propaganda.
| We have child rape apologists on this board.
Let that sink in.
We have child rape apologists on this board.
Remember this the next time they open their mouths to spew their pro-russia/ anti-western propaganda.
| >>849967
Don't worry. NATO countries don't really care about freedom and democracy in other countries. They will suck any autocrats dicks (probably even putins) as long they can offer cheap ressources and labour.
Western values are built on violating them elsewhere.
| this happened in Chechnya, like, twice I think? at least once. the Russians must have a severe rape problem.
| >>850655
In Chechnya it wasn't only russian federal troops that committed this kind of crimes. The chechnya separatist were very brutal too.
And you shouldn't forget about the crimes commited by pro-kyiv troops against pro-russian separatists in the donbass, only because they are now ignored by western politics and media.
| >>850732
heh
My phone tried to autoinsert propoganda when I quoted you.
I guess that's really all that needs to be said, when even the ai is recognizing it.
| >>850738 >>850813
Any propaganda includes some truths. It's the presentment, context and weighting which makes it propaganda.
In this case:
It's true that Chechnyian separatists and pro-kyiv troops commited war crimes against civilists. This is no propaganda. It would be propaganda if it was said to justify or play down russian war crimes. Was this the case? I think not.
| Propaganda isn't about if an information is entirely true or false. It's about gaining interpretation supremacy by over-emphasizing information that fits to your agenda and minimizing information that doesn't. It is irrelevant if this information is true or false. For westerners it's very easy to see how and where pro-russian propaganda works. They have more problems seeing through their own propaganda machinery, because it works better and way more subtle.
| The phrasing here made me think the Russian army just started combat rape squads because they're failing so hard. Like they get into cqc and go for the bunghole instead of the ak.
| >>850960
This isn't so far from reality. Even military experts in western media say, that russian aggression intensifies because they face unexpected resistance.
They thought that they're welcomed as liberators that only need 3 days to remove a nazi junta that was placed there by the USA. But they weren't welcomed and faced massive resistance instead - not only from ukrainian army veterans that fought in the donbass (which actually HAVE a naziism issue) but also by civilists.

>Any propaganda includes some truths.
So if I coded a bunch of bots to spam twitter/fb/4chin etc with articles about how you and Pitler enjoy having ball-slappin' gay sex with eachother, you'd be forced to accept that there's at least some truth to it?
K, time to get to work lmao
| Yesterday a ruSSian soldier raped a 1 year old toddler in Ukraine. The moron filmed himself and posted the video to Telegram. His fellow Russians identified him immediately and shared his identity with the rest of the world.
His name is Alexey Bychkov. His adress is Pobedy Street 22/1, Afipsyk, Krasnodar region.

Honestly, I think the theory that Pitler (like many other of his kind) has massive issues with his sexuality (maybe even a suppressed homosexuality) isn't that unlikely.
However, this speculation wouldn't be enough to make your story count as propaganda. Propaganda is never entirely made up.
What you did is gaslighting (trying to make me believe I did stuff I never did) with a puritanical and slightly homophobe undertone - having (gay) sex=bad

| Women and girls have recounted the abuse they have suffered at the hands of Russian soldiers.
In the city of Bucha, gang-rapes, assaults at gunpoint, and rapes in front of children are among the grim testimonies collected by investigators.
