Some 124 cases of sexual violence have been recorded in Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's all-out invasion of the country.

That's according to Pramila Patten, Special Representative of the Secretary-General on Sexual Violence in Conflict, Ukrinform reports, citing the UN News Center.

According to Patten, the available data are only the tip of the iceberg and do not reflect the scale of sexual violence amid Russia's war against Ukraine.

Ukrinform reported earlier that since the beginning of the all-out invasion, Russia has committed more than 22,500 war crimes and crimes of aggression against Ukraine.
