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.
Based on the evidence gathered by the commission, it has concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine, Erik Mose, the chairman of the three-member commission, told the U.N. Human Rights Council.
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."
