Rape as a weapon of war: Ukrainian voices

Original: # Rape as a # weapon of # war The voices of Ukrainians Timothy # Snyder Sara # Cincurova Oct 18, 2026 Every now and then

Historian Timothy Snyder has published a guest post by journalist Sara Cincurova documenting rape used as a weapon of war in Ukraine, built on testimony from Ukrainians. The piece presents wartime reporting that includes sensitive accounts of sexual violence committed during Russia's invasion, aiming to keep these crimes visible and on record.

Why now: Ongoing Russian attacks in Ukraine keep attention focused on documented sexual violence as a deliberate tactic of war.
