“Instead of flowers from local residents, Russia faced a strong, freedom-loving nation that did not want to surrender. In response, Russian troops are waging a brutal physical and psychological war: bombing, rape, torture, and deportation. Oleksandra Matviychuk, a 39-year-old lawyer and human rights defender, devotedly documents evidence of war crimes in Ukraine through the Center for Civil Liberties, which she heads,” the FT wrote.

Among others, the FT put Sanna Marin, Serena Williams, Meghan Markle in the rating.
