Day after day, in town after town, a police officer and prosecutor go door to door in Ukraine’s Kherson region. Treading muddy streets, past homes damaged by artillery strikes, they look for those left behind.
The two men form a specialist unit that’s traveled from the capital, Kyiv. A mother and daughter come out to their yard. “We are looking for sexual crimes,” the prosecutor, Oleksandr Kleshchenko, says. Until early October, this area of the country was occupied by Russian troops. Burnt-out cars litter the fields. The letter ‘Z’ – a symbol used by Russian forces – marks the walls. The scars of war run deep here.
“Did you report [the damage] to anyone?” the prosecutor asks. “Who would we report it to?” replies a man in the crowd. A man in the crowd tells the investigators that he was held by Russian soldiers and subjected to mock execution. It’s hard to hear, tales of torture like this are common here, but that’s not the subject of their work today.
