Ukraine: ’He treated me like a prostitute, not a woman’

Vika, a Ukrainian woman who claims she was raped by a 19-year-old Russian soldier the same age as her son, calls on other survivors of sexual violence to speak out. She was one of two women attacked by Russian solders when troops occupied their village in March. Another woman, Natasha, who was also raped says that her husband was shot dead before she eventually escaped to Austria with her son.
