Russian soldiers have been ordered ‘from the top’ to use rape, castration and sexual abuse of children as weapons of war, the wife of Ukraine’s president has claimed.

‘This is why it’s extremely important to recognise [these] as war crimes and bring all the perpetrators to justice.’ Ukraine’s first lady said intercepted phone calls had even shown ‘their wives are encouraging this, [they say] “go on, rape these Ukrainian women, just don’t share it with me”.
