New laws in Ukraine will see convicted paedophiles and rapists forcibly castrated by chemical injection.
The legislation will potentially apply annually to thousands of men aged between 18 and 65 found guilty of raping or sexually abusing minors.
Paedophiles will face "coercive chemical castration" under the the new system.
This "involves the forced injection of anti-androgen drugs consisting of chemicals that should reduce libido and sexual activity", reported Ukrinform news agency.
The law will apply to all child rapes including "unnatural" rape and sexual abuse of children above and below the age of puberty.
In 2017 official figures showed 320 child rapes in Ukraine but the numbers of paedophile sex abuse cases are believed to run into the thousands.
New legislation could apply annually to thousands of men aged 18-65 found guilty of sex crimes against youngsters.
