KHERSON, Ukraine – On her eighth or ninth day in Russian detention, Olha, a 26-year-old Ukrainian, was tied to a table, naked to the waist. For 15 minutes, her interrogator levelled obscenities at her, then threw a jacket over her and let seven other men into the room.
Russian officials have repeatedly denied accusations of human rights abuses, despite widespread evidence and accounts collected by Ukrainian and international investigators. A spokesperson for Russia’s Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, recently dismissed a report by the UN Human Rights Commission as unsubstantiated testimonies and no more than “rumours and gossip”.
In one formerly occupied village in the Kyiv region, psychologists found one in nine women had experienced sexual violence, she said. Hundreds of people suffered sexual violence and torture in Russian detention, she added. Viktoriya was one of the few survivors willing to talk publicly. She asked that only her first name be used and that her face not be photographed, as did several other women, for fear of reprisals by Russian forces.“They are gossiping about me, and I mostly stay at home,” she said.
“From our experience with domestic violence, we realised victims do not talk about it in principle,” Ms Didenko said. It is even harder in a war when they could be accused of fraternising with the enemy, she said.
