6. Rape used in Ukraine as a Russian `military strategy`, says UN
• Rape and sexual assault attributed to Moscow`s forces in Ukraine are part of a Russian `military strategy` and a `deliberate tactic to dehumanise the victims`, UN envoy Pramila Patten said in an interview.
• `All the indications are there,` the UN special representative on sexual violence said on Thursday, when asked if rape was being used as a weapon of war in Ukraine.
• `When women are held for days and raped, when you start to rape little boys and men, when you see a series of genital mutilations, when you hear women testify about Russian soldiers equipped with Viagra, it`s clearly a military strategy,` she said
