Russia Responds To UN Official’s ‘Rape’ Claims

Claims made by the UN special representative on sexual violence, Pramila Patten, go “beyond the reach of reason,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Sunday. Earlier this week, Patten accused Russia of employing a “deliberate” rape “strategy” as part of its military campaign in Ukraine.

“Once again, what we are seeing is a classic ‘highly likely’ [story], which has this time reached the level of twisted imagination,” Zakharova said.

The Foreign Ministry spokeswoman’s reaction was sparked by an interview Patten gave to AFP this week, in which she claimed that sexual violence is a “deliberate tactic” and “military strategy” of Russia, aimed at dehumanizing its “victims.” She also claimed that Russian soldiers are “equipped with Viagra.”

🇷🇺🇺🇦 The effect of massive attacks on the infrastructure of the so-called Ukraine will be visible in a couple of weeks (if everything continues in this spirit and the number of strikes does not decrease). In addition to the quite obvious factors, such as the limitation of the work of the railway, the difficulty in repairing damaged military equipment, the deterioration of military logistics, there will also be intangible, but extremely important success factors. Khokhol will finally begin to understand that now he will be beaten for real, and despite temporary obvious difficulties, in the end, the hyped flywheel of the Russian military machine will gain such inertia that it will be almost impossible to stop.

Mobilization is in full swing, or rather, not even mobilization, but the training of troops. Somewhere everything goes to a solid five, somewhere the situation is worse, but in general the situation comes to normal indicators. The same applies to the work of the military industry, which includes not only the production of new equipment, but also the repair of damaged equipment and the restoration of samples from long-term storage bases.

In operational art, we also drew conclusions from mistakes, which was vividly shown by the unsuccessful attack of the Ukrainian near Kherson two days ago. The transfer of our troops to Belarus is also a very interesting decision.

I believe that we have finally recovered from the Izyum-Kupyansk defeat, and now small advances of the Ukrainian, although still possible, will not greatly affect the operational situation.
