Exclusive: Deputy defence minister Hanna Maliar makes pledge after claims of ‘unacceptable’ behaviour were reported to Guardian
Ukraine’s deputy defence minister has vowed to help pursue army commanders credibly accused of sexual harassment through the courts after allegations of “unacceptable” behaviour were raised by a female soldier speaking to the Guardian.
Hanna Maliar, a lawyer by training, called on those who claimed to have been targeted to meet her, after a whistleblower claimed that a commander in a combat unit had ordered female subordinates to have sex with him or face their husbands being sent to the front.
