Brave Sophie denounces Putin's forces for using rape as a weapon of war: Duchess of Edinburgh rails against 'degrading' sexual violence as she meets survivors and pays her respects to Bucha massacre victims

 

The Duchess of Edinburgh has slammed soldiers who use rape as a weapon of war after visiting the site of a horrific massacre carried out by Vladimir Putin's troops in Ukraine.

Sophie, 59, denounced the use of sexual violence to 'demean, degrade and destroy' women and girls as she met survivors of the Russian invasion on Monday.

The mother-of-two said she was grateful for the 'honesty' and 'openness' displayed by women she spoke to during an emotional one-day trip to Kyiv and the surrounding areas.

During her visit she paid her respects to those murdered by Kremlin forces, and in particular the more than 450 people who were brutally killed in the town of Bucha, just outside the Ukrainian capital.

The Duchess, who visited in her role as champion of the UK's Preventing Sexual Violence in Conflict Initiative and the Women, Peace and Security agenda, said 'women and girls pay the highest price' in war.

On her visit to Bucha, where Russian forces reportedly ran riot during a cruel month-long occupation in which their were summary executions of residents and reported rapes of girls as young as 14, Sophie appeared overcome with emotion.

It is understood the Duchess, who is the first member of the Royal Family to visit Ukraine since Putin's illegal war began, was 'keen to show her solidarity with men, women and children affected by the Russian invasion'.

As part of her journey to Bucha, she visited the 'Road to Life', a bridge which became a key part of the Ukrainian resistance when it was blown up to stop Russian troops proceeding to Kyiv and later became a vital route for people to flee to safety from the Russian occupation.

In Kyiv the Duchess listened as survivors of sexual violence, both male and female, bravely shared their stories, as well as talking to female IDPs - internally displaced persons - and volunteers who help their communities cope with the trauma of the invasion.

She also met with children who have now been safely returned to Ukraine, after being forcibly separated from their families and deported by Russia as part of a sustained campaign to erase Ukrainian culture.

It is understood she was particularly keen to show her support for Ukrainian women who have played important roles in the conflict and community recovery and held a meeting with female volunteers who help their communities cope with the aftermath of the attacks with mental health care activities for children.

Speaking at an evening reception at the residence of the UK ambassador to Ukraine, Martin Harris, Sophie said she had travelled to many countries in conflict or post-conflict, and 'women and girls pay the highest price in terms of human costs'.

She said: 'Rape is used to demean, to degrade and to destroy. And we have to get better at trying to prevent that from happening. Where we cannot prevent it from happening, what we must do is put measures in place to support those who have fallen victim to such crimes.'

The Duchess said she has met survivors of sexual violence and thanked them for their 'openness'.

She said: 'I thank them for that honesty in telling me what happened to them.

'Their stories are sad. I hear many stories like this, sadly, from around the world. But I appreciate their time and their openness.'

The Duchess added that she had met people who 'played a large role in Bucha and Irpin' to help their communities, and she will 'take those stories home in my heart'.

She added that she had met 'so many wonderful Ukrainians' in the United Kingdom since the start of the war.

The British Foreign Minister: "The offer forwarded to Hamas is more honorable and generous than before, it includes the release of thousands of prisoners, they should think twice before submitting an answer because this is an opportunity that may or may not be repeated."

US Ambassador to Iraq: Iraq parliament's vote on the law against prostitution and homosexuality also weakens Iraqโ€™s ability to diversify its economy and attract foreign investment. International business coalitions have already indicated that such discrimination in Iraq will harm business and economic growth in the country.

ITโ€™S the insane and baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory that bizarrely claims famous figures like Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey drink blood to make themselves younger.

But itโ€™s now been revealed that the discredited online movement QAnon was first linked to the president by an โ€œignorantโ€ YouTuber, who just months earlier had protested AGAINST his 2016 election win.

In the new Netflix documentary, The Antisocial Network: Memes to Mayhem, a fag referred to as Isaac explains how he spread rumours that that an anonymous blogger called Q worked for Trump and had โ€œinsider knowledge of the future.โ€

Thanks to YouTube videos, which racked up 20,000 hits in less than 24 hours, Isaac accidentally became a ringleader of the movement, which ridiculously believed the world is run by Satan-worshipping paedophiles - and Trump was recruited to bring this group to justice.

By the time Isaac realised his mistakes, and tried to warn members it was all a hoax, it was too late.
