And then the calls stopped.&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For those women who do make it to her practice to get help from psychologists, many don&#8217;t want to report the crime to prosecutors.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;And we respect their decision. Often the survivors don\u2019t trust people and don\u2019t want to tell them what happened to them &#8211; it\u2019s difficult to get them to speak to psychologists and even more difficult with prosecutors,&#8217; Ms Orel says.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Ms Orel says that the prosecutor&#8217;s office has changed its approach since the full-scale invasion began in February 2022. Prosecutors now work closely with psychologists and medical workers in an effort to increase the number of women coming forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For those who do, their fight for justice and accountability will be hard. Ms Mykytenko says it&#8217;s imperative to try and prosecute as many types of war crimes as possible &#8216;because hopefully it will take a few really high-level cases to make a difference&#8217;.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>High-level perpetrators could be tried at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague, which has already sought the prosecution of Russian President Vladimir Putin.<\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;But this is going to take years and years,&#8217; Ms Mykytenko says. &#8216;In an ideal world, justice would be to investigate and prosecute every single crime but that&#8217;s not possible. So let&#8217;s get as many as we can get.&#8217;\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>When asked how she feels about what Russian soldiers are doing to her fellow Ukrainians,\u00a0Ms Mykytenko pauses before saying it&#8217;s hard to put into words her emotions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;This is horrific for the people who have to survive this and it&#8217;s absolutely devastating to think and understand that this isn&#8217;t every other person in a specific village who has been a victim of rape or another war crime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;It&#8217;s every single person living in this country who was and still is a victim of one or another war crime.&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>For Ukraine&#8217;s women, men and children,\u00a0Ms Orel\u00a0fears that the long-term impact of wartime rape will continue for generations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;Russian soldiers are just pure evil. They are not even animals. They want to destroy women by raping them and destroy their families by forcing them to watch the abuse.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;In this way, the whole family becomes traumatised and this can&#8217;t be cured simply. Pain lives inside a person for many years.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But Ms Orel and the psychologists in her team, one of a very small number of teams aimed at helping survivors of rape in Ukraine, continue to help any survivor who walks through their doors to tell them what the Russians did to them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>&#8216;With all the survivors we speak to, we really do help them. They become our friends,&#8217; Ms Orel. &#8216;We want them to know that they aren&#8217;t alone.&#8217;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>If you are a victim of wartime sexual violence, you can contact Andreiev Family Foundation&#8217;s anonymous hotline at 0800 300166 for help and support.
