It comes as reports emerge of Russian soldiers deliberately targeting hospitals and killing innocent Ukrainian civilians in broad daylight. A one-year-old boy died from his injuries after being raped by Russian soldiers, Ukraine claimed. The sickening claim comes as over 60 cases of rape have been reported in the past two days, including two 10-year-old boys in Kharkiv. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence said in a tweet yesterday: “Today, in just one hour, 10 reports of rape by the [Russian] occupiers, including 8 children, were received from newly liberated villages in the Kharkiv region. “Yesterday – 56 reports. Among the children: two 10-year-old boys and a 1-year-old boy who died of his injuries.” The unconfirmed report has been supported by a series of tweets by Ukrainian journalist Iryna Matviyishyn, who included the boy in a list of children allegedly raped by Russian soldiers. The list also included allegations that Russians raped nine-year-old triplet girls in front of their mother and the rape of a two-year-old girl by two soldiers. The journalist said the report had been published by Ukrainian Parliament Commissioner for Human Rights, Lyudmyla Denisova. She added: “According to Denisova, Russians also raped two men aged 67 and 78. And, reportedly, the Commissioner’s Psychological Assistance Line receives calls about such war crimes every day now. “This is a very small part of territory that was liberated from Russians, compared to those towns, villages and cities that are still under the occupation. “We can only imagine the number of such atrocities in Kherson, Melitopol, Mariupol, Berdyansk, and others.” The allegations are added to the long list of horrific attacks Russian forces have launched in Ukraine. Earlier this month, a woman was allegedly raped and murdered by Russian soldiers in war-crime ravaged Bucha. The body of the “beautiful” Karina Yershova, 22, was discovered mercilessly dumped in a garden with “tears” and “wounds”, while all her nails – apart from one – had been torn off.
