A Russian soldier who allegedly filmed himself having unlawful carnal knowledge of a one-year-old baby in Ukraine and shared the horrific video on social media has been arrested.
Alexei Bychkov is accused of being the man behind the assault, with reports in the Russian media saying he was detained by local police.
The arrest comes after Lyudmila Denisova, commissioner for human rights in the Ukrainian Parliament, alleged on Saturday, April 9, that Russian troops have r*ped children during the war.
In a statement on Telegram, she said a 14-year-old girl in Bucha was r*ped by five soldiers and as a result is now pregnant.
Also, an 11-year-old boy in the same town was allegedly r*ped in front of his mum, who was tied to a chair and forced to watch.
Three soldiers also allegedly r*ped a 20-year-old woman in Irpen.
An earlier statement shared on Friday, April 8, said Russians had r*ped a 16-year-old girl and her 78-year-old grandmother in a village in the Kherson region.
