From the UN report:

"The Commission investigated two incidents in which women were raped in the

Beryslav District of the Kherson Province. It previously documented ten other cases of rape

in the same district. In April 2022, a Russian soldier came to the house of a 68-year-old

woman, locked her 25-year-old son in a room, threatened her and raped her. She stated that

she did not resist, as she feared for her son of fighting age and also did not want her son to

know what had happened. In August 2022, Russian soldiers conducted a search of a house

where a 69-year-old woman lived alone. One soldier returned, hit the woman several times

and raped her twice. The victim did not report the case and did not consult a doctor, as she

did not want to burden her son and grandson, who were both on the frontline."
