Raped by the Russians for days in front of her 6-year-old son, she died of her wounds & trauma. The little boy’s hair turned gray with shock. The latest horror in chronological order took place in the hell of Mariupol and was denounced by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry on Twitter so everyone everywhere knows. A few terse words to say, “This is not a horror film. Rape, violence, murder: That means the “snoring world”.
In Ukraine, since February 24, The day of the invasion of ukraine, people have been dying not only from bombs. Four million, mostly women and children, are refugees but safe in Europe. The others, especially the others left, are at the mercy of the barbarism that is increasingly becoming the armed wing of expansionist nationalism.
War, rape, murder. The terrible reality has always and seemingly forever confirmed in the number of conflicts at all latitudes and in every context, even this one. On the 35th day of the war, There have already been numerous reports of Ukrainian women being raped by Russian soldiers eager for the quick and easy victory they thought they had in their pockets, They wield another violence: All-too-easy violence against the remaining women because humanitarian corridors are insufficient and not all can flee.
Natalya, 33, had the strength to tell the Times about the nightmare that unfolded in her home. Raped repeatedly by two drunk Russian soldiers who first killed her husband while their four-year-old son cried nearby. She survived, but others could not. Some committed suicide, others were hanged by rapists. Four Ukrainian MPs visiting London in recent days told reporters. “Most of them were murdered after being raped” said Olena Khomenko, Maria Mezentseva, Alona Shkrum and Lesia Vasylenko, who were welcomed to the House of Commons. Olga Stefanishyna, 36-year-old Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, promised in an interview that “every single soldier who committed this war crime will be held accountable.”
The Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine, also a woman, Iryna Venediktova, created the website https://warcrimes.gov.uà to report abuse and violence by the invaders with detailed evidence. However, the time it takes to get to the result is nearly infinite. And there is no judgment that can heal the survivors’ wounds. The Germans in Marzabotto, the Maghreb Goumiers following the French troops and the many Ciociara, even the ethnic rapes of the Bosnian War seemed to be history. And instead, stunned again, we have to deal not with these ghosts, but with the unexpected return of a primitive war on the ground and without smart bombs from the sky.
