Russia had a pre-hatched plan for its troops to torture, rape and execute civilians in Ukraine who refuse to capitulate, Ukraine's top prosecutor tells Sky News
Ukraine's prosecutor general claims Putin is using his forces to torture, rape and execute civilians as part of his war plan
"I will give you the evidence when I have access to this territory", she told Sky News in an interview at her offices in the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv.The prosecutor general revealed there are a"huge number of cases" of Russian troops killing Ukrainians simply because they did not like them. Asked whether she thought the shooting of civilians, execution-style, had been pre-planned by Russia before the invasion, Ms Venediktova said:"I think it is a strategy of their chief of commander, because we see the same strategy in other countries.
She fears far more brutality is yet to be uncovered in parts of the country that are still fully or partially occupied by Russian forces - most notably Mariupol.
