In a television interview, Maria Mezentseva referred to a case in Brovary, an eastern suburb of Kiev, where a woman was raped in front of her child. On Wednesday, Attorney General Iryna Venediktova said the attack was being investigated by the authorities and that Ukraine had informed Russia that an arrest warrant had been issued for the soldier. Speaking to Sky News on Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Mezentseva said: “There is a case that has been widely discussed recently because it has been recorded and has progressed. [by] the prosecutor’s office, and we do not go into details, but it is a very scary scene when a citizen was shot and killed at his home in a small town next to Kyiv. “His wife – I’m sorry but I have to say – was raped many times in front of her minor child.” After the attack, the soldier is believed to have threatened the child. Mezedseva, head of Ukraine’s permanent delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, said the cases should be recorded, as “justice must prevail”. Rape and sexual assault are considered war crimes and a violation of international humanitarian law. He said cases were being raised and added that he hoped the United Kingdom could provide expertise on how to support victims after crime. “There are many more victims and not just this case that has been made public by the attorney general,” he said. “And of course, we expect a lot more from them, which will be made public as soon as the victims are ready to talk about it. “That’s why you know, when we talked to Boris Johnson, when we talked to your Home Office, when we talked to UK MPs, we also raised the issue that this result, which we are facing right now, has an echo. war, must be taken very carefully, very seriously, and take into account the experience of the United Kingdom and the experience of other countries, which can help us in dealing with psychologists and how to help these people really live above these cases. , to continue after, to continue to live “. He added: “We will certainly not be silent.” Her remarks echoed those of fellow Ukrainian lawmaker Lesya Vasilenko, who addressed British lawmakers earlier in March and said Russian soldiers had sexually assaulted and raped women. He said: “We have reports of women being gang-raped. These women are usually the ones who can not go out. We are talking about the elderly. “Most of these women have either been executed after the crime of rape or committed suicide.”
