A Ukrainian resident of the Russian-controlled city of Kherson said the occupying troops have “already started to rape our women.”
Svetlana Zorina, 27, who lives with her grandmother in the Black Sea port city of about 290,000 people captured Wednesday, spoke with CNN about the dire situation and accused the invading forces of sexually attacking women.
She added: “We try not to go outside because it’s dangerous. Today, for the first time, I realized to check near a store like a hundred meters from me, if they have some food, but there was nothing because we are surrounded by Russians, and it’s impossible to deliver here food or medicine.” “Our mayor is in contact with us, and city administration is in contact with us. There are Telegram channels. There is a website of our mayor’s office, and they share information, spread information with us,” she told CNN.
