CONTENT WARNING: 'The commission has documented cases in which children have been raped, tortured, and unlawfully confined.' 9News

"In the cases we have investigated, the age of victims of sexual and gendered-based violence ranged from four to 82 years," Erik Mose, chair of the Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine, told the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva.

The three human rights experts on the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine travelled to Kyiv, Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Sumy, visiting 27 towns and interviewing more than 150 people. "These acts amounted to different types of violations of rights, including sexual violence, torture, and cruel and inhuman treatment. There are examples of cases where relatives were forced to witness the crimes," it added.

Speaking at the UN Security Council, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov dismissed the "increased activity of international justice," calling it "undoubtedly a put-up job".

Russian war crime victims included children, UN investigators sayUnited Nations experts have said that Russian forces committed war crimes during the conflict in Ukraine, including cases of rape and torture of children. How terrible Cause this is such a rare find during war. Raping and torturing kids demonstrates the lowest of the low in humanity and Russia. They'll lie and deny. Dishonourable, corrupt and with no moral compass. Yeah do yourselves a favor and don’t report on what the UN says happened… because the UN aren’t to be trusted.

China ‘needs to play a responsible role’ in Russia-Ukraine conflictSky News host Chris Kenny says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent defensive moves and threats of nuclear warfare in the conflict in Ukraine is “deeply disturbing”. “One thing we have learned about world leaders, especially autocrats and despots, is to believe their threats, they often follow through on their threats, no matter how crazy they sound,” he said. “Just as Putin followed through on his threats to invade Ukraine, we need to take Beijing's sabre-rattling over Taiwan seriously, and likewise, this underscores why the free world needs to be very calm but cautious about the Russian president's latest overtures.” Mr Kenny said Foreign Minister Penny Wong met with her Chinese counterpart in the United Nations with the aim of “putting pressure on China over the situation in Ukraine”. “Yes, China needs to play a responsible role here, its pressure on Russia could be critical – but the West can't afford to rely on Beijing being a responsible global citizen,” he said. “Standing up for what's right is always important but predicting the behaviour of nuclear armed despots in East Asia and Eastern Europe is a fraught business.” Wait, didn't the new UK prime minister also issue that same threat? Chris Kenny is deeply disturbed just by being Chris Kenny. The acts of a sinile wanker in another country is not china's problem...they have voiced thier concerns ..that's the end of it!!!!

Putin’s ‘weak and desperate’ nuclear threats underline the ‘danger nuclear weapons pose’Foreign Minister Penny Wong says Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “weak and desperate” nuclear threats underline the danger nuclear weapons pose to everyone. “Australia has always pursued a world without nuclear weapons, and we will redouble our efforts towards this goal and to strengthening the non-proliferation regime,” she told the UN General Assembly in New York on Saturday. “The death and destruction in Ukraine reminds us all how much we have to lose if we fail to protect the UN Charter. “It reminds us that each nation must make its own choices and exercise its own agency.” What a load of utter lies! stop it CNN 🤣🤣🤣 Wow, silly wong vomitting lies because of her low self-esteem in prostituting herself to the Elites. Oh the poor addict she is. Don't be like Wong get the truth. If you follow low self-esteem, that's the pattern you will create in your own life. Love yourself enough.
