Russian soldiers are gaining ground in Ukraine… And since the beginning of the war, crimes have multiplied. Last March, a 16-year-old girl suffered the worst. Six months pregnant, the latter was raped by a Soviet soldier. Several weeks after the tragedy, the young woman delivered a chilling account of her assault. ” That morning, they arrive at four, alcoholic “Says Dasha in the columns of Parisian. At the time of the facts, she is not alone. His mother, his 14-year-old sister and his brothers aged 11, 7 and 6 are also present.
Frightened, the little family lives for a few days with the enemy. But on March 19, two soldiers are stamping outside, firing again, bullets are flying through the kitchen windows.

From the kitchen, the victim’s mother only hears the creaking bed…” He ordered me not to make a sound, he was trying to kiss me, he was against me, I wanted to push him away, but he was much stronger, even drunk.

I cried in silence, because all wars are like that “, she added. A moving story.
