The findings by the United Nations experts are the latest allegations of war crimes against Russia since its invasion of Ukraine.

Russian troops have raped and tortured children in Ukraine, carried out a “large number” of executions and committed other war crimes, according to a United Nations investigation by legal experts.

Set up by the U.N. to probe the conduct of the war, the Independent International Commission of Inquiry reported its chilling findings Friday in Geneva, describing a long list of abuses and atrocities in four regions.

“Based on the evidence gathered by the commission, it has concluded that war crimes have been committed in Ukraine,” Erik Mose, the chairman of the three-member commission, told the U.N. Human Rights Council.

So nothing has changed since the world war. As I gathered you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10, and to make things worse you weren't allowed to talk about what happened in the following 50 years if your country was liberated by them because the Soviet soldier doesn't do things like that so you'd get in trouble

you only had a chance if you were over 80 or under 10

Even that doesn't save you. In the Article they say that they have identified victims with the age ranging from 8-82.
