    No war without crime. Not surprised. I bet Ukraine isn’t so guiltless either.

      Probably, however I suspect that the scale had nothing in common with what’s been going on on the Russian side.

        Exactly. War is a crime in itself. We should be talking about that and the crime Putin committed by invading.

      The aggressor is Russia here. That aside, which crimes did Ukraine’s army commit?

        What has this to do with being the aggressor?

        I’m saying “no war without war crimes”. And every country commits them. Look at WW2. The USA also commited war crimes.

        You’re basically saying that humans are not equal, like humans under autocrats are genetically built different to automatically commit war crimes.

        Since you’re asking for Ukraine war crimes specifically:

        Note that independently investigating war crimes while the war is still ongoing is very difficult. Most incidents usually surface after the war.

          What a derailed interpretation.
