"Rape is used to demean, to degrade and to destroy, and we have to get better at trying to prevent that from happening," she added. She met with survivors of conflict-related sexual violence and survivors of torture, the ministry said, and children who had been returned to Ukraine after being separated from their families and taken to Russia.

Britain has been one of the most vocal and active backers of Ukraine since Russia invaded, and has pledged more than 4.7 billion pounds in non-military support.
