Russian troops “systematically raped” 25 Ukrainian girls and women as young as 14 after finding them hiding together in Bucha — leaving at least nine pregnant, according to the nation’s human rights commissioner.

Lyudmyla Denisova told the BBC that the victims — between the ages of 14 and 24 — were attacked after being found in “the basement of one house in Bucha,” the brutalized suburb of capital Kyiv where hundreds of bodies were later found in the street.

“Russian soldiers told them they would rape them to the point where they wouldn’t want sexual contact with any man, to prevent them from having Ukrainian children,” the human rights ombudsman told the broadcaster.

On Sunday, Human Rights Watch (HRW) released a report including witness accounts of Russian soldiers raping and executing Ukrainian civilians. HRW said that between February 27 and March 14, a case of "repeated rape" and two cases of "summary execution" have taken place in the occupied areas of Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Kyiv.

"The cases we documented amount to unspeakable, deliberate cruelty and violence against Ukrainian civilians," Hugh Williamson, Europe and Central Asia director at Human Rights Watch, said in a statement. "Rape, murder and other violent acts against people in the Russian forces' custody should be investigated as war crimes."

This week, Ukrainian Internal Affairs Minister Anton Gerashchenko said in a Telegram post that Russian soldiers "tortured and brutally killed" some civilians in the village of Motyzhyn, including mayor Olha Sukhenko and her husband and son, who were kidnapped by Russian troops on March 25. The mayor and her husband had refused to collaborate with the Russian forces, according to local residents.

I read this, and I'm a little skeptical about the pregnancy, even though it's quite possible.

Troops reached Bucha on March 5. A little quick for a pregnancy test in a war torn nation that doesn't even have food/water?
