No, you're not sure. You don't know what happened there, as it was not possible to conduct a serious investigation, and I'm not sure we will ever know. The fact that the west hasn't said a word about this again for a long time is suspicious.

Now about your last paragraph: I've never been to Moscow nor Russia, I'm a EU citizen so don't think I can take my comments anywhere. If it bothers you, maybe you can leave HN. You won't be missed.

Yes, I am 100% sure because the reporting was widespread, accurately conducted, and the Russians were widely condemned.

Sexual violence continues in Ukraine:

In fact, I'll save myself the effort and just give you a full list to read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_violence_in_the_Russian...

I think you should visit, I hear it's lovely this time of year.
