"Hundreds of Ukrainian women and girls have reported sexual violence by Russian troops during the nearly four years of full-scale war in Ukraine, according to Ukrainian authorities and aid groups. The actual number of victims, advocates say, is most likely far higher.
Some of the women say they have been impregnated by Russian soldiers and live with children who will forever remind them of their attackers. Others have told of being forced to serve as sex slaves for entire companies of Russian troops. Still others say their life became a waking nightmare after they were incapacitated and raped by Russian forces.
The New York Times spoke with more than a dozen women who said they had been sexually abused by Russian troops."

@John_A_Ridge Compromise will only lead to the fall of the Iranian regime. A state too weak to defend their existence don't have much time until they become history.
@John_A_Ridge Iran should understand by now that this isn't an operation to degrade Iran, it's an existential threat to the regime. Either go all in on the bomb or become history, there's no in-between.
Dokibird was the victim of a scam. There's is no place on God's green earth that such a pc and labor cost that much money. Did the artist get a lawyer to build the damn thing? That's the only reasonable explanation.
