Speaking on Sky News’ Sophy Ridge on Sunday, Mezentseva said: “There is one case which was very widely discussed recently because it’s been recorded and proceeded with [by] the prosecutor’s office, and we’re not going into details, but it’s quite a scary scene when a civilian was shot dead in his house in a small town next to Kyiv.''

‘Affected first and worst’: Ukrainian women and girls at increased risk of sexual violence (brusselstimes.com)
''The war in Ukraine is putting women and girls at increased risk of sexual violence, both in the country and when fleeing to find temporary shelter in other countries, according to the United Nations.
The current situation in Ukraine, which was invaded by Russia on 24 February, and
the displacement of millions of Ukrainians as a result, puts all people in Ukraine at risk, but the threat is stronger for women and girls, according to Dagmar Schumacher, Director of the UN Women Brussels Office on the occasion of International Women’s Day.''
''Abusing support initiatives
Various initiatives have been set up in Belgium to help Ukrainian refugees who fled their country find shelter; however, one person in charge of such an initiative said
he has received inappropriate messages from single men using the Facebook group he operates as if it were a dating site.
Andy de Schipper from Zelzate, who set up the Facebook group ‘Support Ukraine’ to share initiatives to help shelter refugees,
told Radio 2 that
various men were applying to take in Ukranian women, but only wanted to receive a “beautiful, intelligent and well-groomed” woman.''
