It cites credible reports of abuses committed by Israeli and Russian forces, particularly in detention facilities. Israel has rejected the allegations, calling attention to the violence committed by Hamas, while Russia has not commented. The UN has documented 209 cases of sexual violence in Ukraine, including against prisoners of war.
