No wonder the Republicans side with Russia.
Birds of a feather
Fuck kids together.
Fuck russia, including the republican traitor filth.
In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from 4 to 82 years.
Absolutely disgusting. I hope these bastards die the most painful death imaginable.
Fuck russia
Lovely. Thanks for that Russia. I really needed reminding on how abhorrent humans can be, to get me through my day
Sounds very Russian.
Fuck Russia
My Grand-Grand-Grandmother offered herself to soviet soldiers so they didn't rape her daughter (around 30 back then) and grandchildren (2-10). The Soviet War Memorial in Berlin is nicknamed "Memorial of the Unknown Rapist".
My Grand-Grand-Grandmother sacrifice didn't help and therefore one of my ancestor is a raping soviet soldier. And if you learn that your Grand-Aunt just can't remember being raped because she was too young...
Unfortunate username for the situation
Very disgusting to see.
“There are examples of cases where relatives were forced to witness the crimes," he added. "In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from 4 to 82 years."
Children also have been killed and wounded in “indiscriminate attacks” by Russian forces using explosive weapons, he said.
It's frightening how easily people can lose their moral compass, and behave so disgustingly.

The Russians didn't lose their moral compass. They never had one.
That's not completely true. Putin just sent the ones without a compass to the front lines.
I don't know much about this but I think it's a psychological thing encouraged by commanders.
When soldiers behave this way it reinforces a belief that the enemy will show no mercy if they surrender. Something like that.
We live in a shitty simulation right guys? This isn’t real….right?
Hey, when it gets dark, just remember:
Humanity, on the whole, has been on its best behavior ever in the last fifty years, even with this!
We're literally the peak of civility so far!
Ehh I guess. We are just killing the planet and other humans so the rich can get richer and the poor get poorer as well as the food is being worse.
We are becoming more aware of our flaws and evils. Which is a good step forwards.
We are having this conversation is proof of this.
We have known of our flaws yet this stuff still happens. Humans are an imperfect species with more flaws than good. I always considered ourselves parasites of the earth.
A sentiment i know all to well and cant honestly disagree with. I do however consider one addition and that is that over time we have improved in many ways and many people like myself keep searching for ways to improve ourselves and those around us even further.
“Changing the world” (or human society) is a task so immense one can not reasonably experience that is need while also expecting to still be alive to see the fruits of that intention.
I dont believe i will ever live in a world Free of human evil, but i also dont believe humanity will disappear without some mass extinction event. Now there is a good chance a mass extinction will happen but it may also not while humanity carries on and that will last quite alot longer.
As i am a parent this leaves me with 3 choices
accept the evils and teach my kids this is normal and the world they will live in.
not accepting the evils and try to improve things any way i can, teach my kids to pass it forward till eventually we have humans that truly are more good then bad.
family activity introductions to the church of euthanasia. (Nope, been close there myself, wont go back, wont decide that for my kids either)
So nothing has changed since the world war. As I gathered you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10, and to make things worse you weren't allowed to talk about what happened in the following 50 years if your country was liberated by them because the Soviet soldier doesn't do things like that so you'd get in trouble
you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10
Even that doesn't save you. In the Article they say that they have identified victims with the age ranging from 8-82.
So they just got worse
"Traditional russian values"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.
Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings Friday in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities in four regions.
Mose, a Norwegian judge, said the commission has documented cases in which children have been "raped, tortured and unlawfully confined."
The update from the commission follows other allegations of war crimes from international human rights groups, Western governments and Ukrainian authorities, including the recent discovery of a mass burial site in the eastern town of Izyum.
The commission focused on the regions of Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy, visiting 27 towns and settlements and interviewing 150 victims and witnesses.
As it continues its investigation, it will examine the forced transfer of people and the alleged expedited adoption of children, Mose said.
The original article contains 466 words, the summary contains 167 words. Saved 64%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
UN likes to state what already has been said like 2 years ago and then proceed to do nothing like always. Dumb useless corrupt org.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
