[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] A video showing a Russian soldier sexually abusing a one-year-old baby in Ukraine has spread on the internet, shocking the international community.

On the 10th (local time), according to the British media outlet 'Mirror' and others, Alexey Bichkov, a soldier belonging to the Russian army, was arrested by the police after posting a video of sexually assaulting a baby on his social media account.

Bichkov, from Krasnodar in southern Russia, is known to have shared various obscene photos and videos filmed in Ukraine in addition to the video of sexually assaulting the baby. The photos and videos taken by Bichkov were initially posted on 'Telegram,' a closed Russian SNS, and reportedly spread to other internet sites.

As this incident became known, overseas netizens were deeply shocked. Hashtags such as 'RussianWarCrime' appeared on various SNS platforms, and some netizens even engaged in doxxing by revealing Bichkov's photos, hometown, age, and other personal information.

Alexander Serva, a Ukrainian diplomat, strongly criticized the incident in a post on his Twitter account, saying, "Look at this monster who sexually assaulted a baby. Someone sent me a link to the crime he committed, but I could not bring myself to open it."

Meanwhile, evidence of war crimes committed by the Russian army in Ukraine has been reported one after another recently.

According to 'Mirror,' Marina Veshastna, deputy mayor of Ivankiv in northern Ukraine, testified in an interview with a Western media outlet on the 6th, saying, "The Russian army dragged women out of basements by their hair," and "15- and 16-year-old sisters were sexually assaulted."

Lesia Vasylenko, a member of Ukraine's Holos Party, claimed that some girls suffered severe injuries to their bodies, and some female corpses were found with burn marks in the shape of Nazi symbols, stating, "Russian soldiers sexually assaulted and murdered them."

On the 3rd, numerous civilian bodies brutally killed were discovered in areas such as Bucha, Hostomel, and Irpin, which had been occupied by the Russian army.

Regarding this, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned in an interview with the US media outlet 'CBS News,' saying, "(Russia) is trying to eliminate the entire Ukraine," and "They are destroying and massacring because we are Ukrainian people and do not want to be ruled by the policies of the Russian Federation. This is happening in 21st-century Europe."
