For the first time, the UN placed the Russian army on blacklist for conflict-related sexual violence.
The UN's annual report on sexual violence in conflict has documented hundreds of confirmed cases of violence against prisoners of war and civilians.
The report covers the period from January to December 2025. A total of 77 government and non-government organizations from 12 countries were added to the blacklist.
▪️The UN managed to verify 310 cases of conflict-related sexual violence within the territory of the Russia and in the occupied Ukrainian territories.
▪️The violations included rape, gang rape, genital mutilation, and electroshock forced administered to the genitals.
▪️As a result of the cases of sexual violence committed by the Russian armed forces and security forces mentioned in the report, 280 men, 26 women, and four girls were affected.
"Of these, 52 cases were committed during 2025, mostly against male prisoners of war and civilian detainees. The remaining cases, although verified and documented in 2025, occurred between February 2022 and December 2024," said Pramila Patten, the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, who presented the report.
Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, Nebenzya, stated that the UN report on sexual violence is aimed at discrediting Russia.
