The United Nations condemned a widespread pattern of sexual violence by Russian troops in Ukraine, including gang rape and genital mutilation against civilians and prisoners. Russia was added in May to the UN Secretary-General's list of countries credibly suspected of committing sexual violence in conflict, which constitutes war crimes and crimes against humanity under international law. A UN report found that 89% of documented cases of sexual violence in the war were linked to Russian forces, though Ukrainian authorities were also responsible for a smaller number of similar abuses.
