Amed Khan to Newsmax: Occupation ‘Miserable’ for Ukrainians

Philanthropist Amed Khan, founder of the Amed Khan Foundation, detailed the misery that Ukrainians are experiencing under Russian occupation, telling Newsmax that sexual violence and torture are commonplace.

Khan, who has been on the ground in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in 2022, organizing refugee evacuations and distributing aid, joined “The Record With Greta Van Susteren” on Friday to discuss what he’s seen.

“Well, right now, the major real issue is the actual length of the front line, the villages that are being overtaken over the last few weeks or months. And life under Russian occupation is just miserable,” Khan said. “I’ve been in many, many villages which have been liberated. I’ve come sort of the day or the day after liberation. And when you talk to the people about what life was under Russian occupation, it’s just miserable. From sexual violence to torture to destroying a culture, to burning library books and changing the spelling of your name.”
