Kira said Russian forces used rape as a tool to terrorize people because Ukrainians were resisting the invasion. She said she works on data collection in an attempt to hold criminals accountable.

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky also reported, in a speech to the Lithuanian Parliament, that “hundreds of cases of rape have been recorded” since the beginning of the Russian invasion on February 24. According to Zelensky, among the victims are teenage girls and young children, as well as a baby.

Today, Zelensky receives the Secretary General of the UN (United Nations), António Guterres. On Tuesday (26), Guterres met with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, to whom he asked for a ceasefire in search of an end to the war.

Guterres has already visited cities near Kiev that were occupied by Russian forces until March, such as Borodianka, Irpin and Bucha, which was marked by the massacre of civilians.

“When we see this horrible place, I understand how important it is to have a thorough investigation and establish responsibilities,” Guterres said in Bucha. “I ask Russia to agree to cooperate with the ICC [Tribunal Penal Internacional, que abriu investigação sobre os ocorridos].” The Russians deny killing civilians in Bucha.
