Wikipedia says it so it must be true.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/ukraine-investigating-soldiers-committed-war-crime-amid-international/story?id=93743626
I also suggest you read the UN report that wikipedia is citing so lobsidedly and conveniently ignoring the parts where it talks about Ukraine's war crimes https://www.ohchr.org/sites/default/files/documents/countries/ua/2022-06-29/2022-06-UkraineArmedAttack-EN.pdf
PS. Lies are ok, but name-calling is a no no? How civilized of you!
Wikipedia has many, many sources for these war crimes, including the Human Rights Watch, NYT, BBC, CNBC, Amnesty International, Reuters and even the *International Criminal Court *. Nothing you linked to disproves the claims in the wiki article.
Yes and all of these sources also speak out about observing Ukrainian war crimes, which are far better documented by these very organizations. Russian war crimes are not proven and nearly all accusations come from Ukraine, UK and US, which are not impartial to say the least.
Yet the collective West is infatuated by "Russian war crimes". In fact, whenever an organization tries to showcase Ukrainian war crimes (see Amnesty International for example) Western audience are quick to attack them.
Let's just review one of the Russian "war crimes" as an example: https://thegrayzone.com/2023/03/31/iccs-putin-arrest-state-dept-report/
At any rate, the point here is if you care about war crimes, then you should care about ALL war crimes. Not just the ones that are convenient to care about.
Russian war crimes are not provenYou're obviously not arguing in good faith with claims like these. You would claim any source I provide to be untrustworthy unless it came from the mouth of Putin himself. Not even photo evidence, Amnesty International (which you yourself used) or the International Criminal Court is good enough for you.
For that reason, I will not be continuing this conversation.
I can only hope you're young so that you have a chance of growing up from the propaganda you've been fed. I hope you don't yet realize the evil of the machine you're feeding and I hope one day you will.
P. S. At not point did anyone claim that any war crimes Ukraine could commit are OK. If someone commits them, they should be held accountable. It just so happens they are not relevant to whether or not Russia was justified in attacking Ukraine, even if any of them happened. Especially because for war crimes... There has to be a war first.
Interesting way to admit you don't care about war crimes. But then, you have been brushing them off this entire time.
