A UN official claimed Russia is using rape as its “military strategy” in Ukraine — providing soldiers with drugs to sexually assault civilians.
“When you hear women testify about Russian soldiers equipped with Viagra, it’s clearly a military strategy,” Pramila Patten, UN special representative on sexual violence in conflict, told the AFP.
Patten added that the UN has verified “more than a hundred cases” of rape or sexual assault since the invasion began in February. Victims have largely included girls and women, but boys and men have been raped, too.
In September, the head of the organization’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry into Ukraine wrote that Russian forces were committing war crimes against civilians, including rape, torture and unlawful confinement.
The commission head noted that victims of sexual and gender-based violence ranged from four to 82, and in some some cases, family members have been forced to watch the acts.
“Reported cases are only the tip of the iceberg,” Patten told the AFP, but added that it is difficult to maintain accurate statistics during an active violent conflict. “The numbers will never reflect reality, because sexual violence is a silent crime.”
Russia has denied war crime allegations.

The UN would say Putin had fathered a space alien child if they thought it would further their globalist cause.
Are the local Putin crew going to deny just the Viagra part? That would be rich. Or the rape part too, including raping Ukrainian men and boys?
And the UN knows a lot about raping children.

Who believes this bs?
the motto on my 1st sub was “even the crack of dawn aint safe”
any word on the UN raping civilians?
... Weird report. I mean, Stalin told the Red Army to take everything they wanted - literally. He was a rapist himself.
It’s hard to tell what’s true, but this is just downright strange. No pun intended.
Wow...
Gulag culture in Russia.
Multiple people that will be posting on this thread.
They’re Africans, so they don’t count. /s
They need viagra ??
Good question. The USSR certainly did plenty of that in 1945 as they rolled east through Germany. Revenge is never pretty.
Over fifty yo guys?
Must be written by the same creative writing team that came up with the babies tore off the incubators and the terrorists are killing puppies stories.
The Western/US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media is utterly pathetic.
