In its annual report on conflict-related sexual violence, the United Nations has for the first time added Russian and Israeli forces to its blacklist.
According to Ukrinform, Associated Press stated this in an article.
The 35-page report, published late Thursday by Israel's mission to the UN, includes 77 governmental and non-governmental organizations from twelve countries suspected of committing or being responsible for sexual violence in conflicts around the world. The report states that the number of such incidents rose sharply in 2025 compared to 2024.
Israeli forces were added to the blacklist for the first time over the treatment of detained Palestinians. Israel rejects the allegations.
"Russian armed and security forces were also blacklisted for the first time this year for sexual violence against prisoners of war and civilians detained during the war in Ukraine," the report states.
