A Ukrainian woman has claimed that her husband was shot dead by Russian soldiers and then raped. Her four-year-old son was crying in the adjoining room, frightened by the incident. Officials will now investigate his allegations. He told The Times, “I heard only one shot. I heard the gate opening. Then footsteps were heard in the house.”
She said that on March 9, Russian soldiers first killed her pet dog, then shot her husband. The woman said, “I cried a lot. Asked about the husband. Then I looked outside and he was standing at the door of the house. A soldier pointed a gun at my head. He said I shot your husband because he was It’s Nazi.
She was then raped by Russian soldiers at gunpoint and threatened with death if she “not kept quiet”. The woman said, “She said you better keep quiet or I will bring your child and show him.”
Recalling the alleged incident, the woman said, “He asked me to take off my clothes. Then they both raped me one after the other. They didn’t care that my son was crying in the boiler room. He told me to shut up and come back. All the time he pointed a gun to my head.”
The woman has now run away from the house leaving her husband’s body. “We can’t bury him, we can’t go to the village, because the village is still full of Russian soldiers,” he said.
