Just want to point out the mass rape claims were fabricated. Ukraine even fired Lyudmila Denisova over the ordeal:

No, there are credible and quite horrifying reports[1]. Also some of the actual rapists were found out and victimes stepped forward. Please don't spew Russian propaganda.

How is it Russian propaganda? It's been widely reported by western sources that Denisova was fired by Ukrainian officials for lying specifically about the mass rape claims.

I'm not suggesting there have been no rapes or that Russians are the good guys. Just that the reports of mass rapes were fabricated (Denisova admitted she thought it would help Ukraine obtain more sympathy and weapons from the west).
