New cases of war-related sexual violence are being revieled in the liberated territories.

Joint mobile groups of prosecutors, international experts and psychologists are working there.

"Six Russian servicemen have already been notified of suspicion. Indictments against two people have been sent to court, one person has been convicted," the Prosecutor General's Office says.

Cases of gender-based violence were recorded, when the wives of Ukrainian defenders who participated in the anti-terrorist operation or were related to Ukraine’s Armed Forces were abducted from their families and tortured.

In addition, prosecutors discovered more than 30 cases of genital torture with electric current, which were applied to the local civilian population.

In total, more than 100 instances of torture with the use of electric current against local men have been established.
