Ukraine's ombudswoman for human rights, Lyudmyla Denisova, spoke to the BBC and highlighted the alleged sexual violent crimes committed by Russian soldiers in Ukraine.
She also alleged that soldiers intended to commit these acts in hopes of traumatizing these women to the point they would not want children in the future.
"About 25 girls and women aged 14-24 were systematically raped during the occupation in the basement of one house in Bucha," Denisova said, according to a BBC report.
"Nine of them are pregnant. Russian soldiers told them they would rape them to the point where they wouldn't want sexual contact with any man, to prevent them from having Ukrainian children."
Denisova was asked about the scale of alleged sexual violence Ukrainians have faced following the Russian invasion and said that, at this stage, it was impossible to know.
