Tell me about one war commited in the last 50 years were war crimes weren’t commited, tell me about a war crime that had any repercussions in the last 50 years, I can think of a lot of them commited by the West going unpunished. I’m not saying it’s good, only that’s how wars work under the current political system. Yes, what the Russian military is doing right now is something ugly and despiteful, but it is a really good military tactic. They are destroying important infrastructure at a time when winter looms nearer and nearer and energy is a tremendous issue in Europe, generating disorganisation in the chain of command through the whole country, general chaos, disruption of communication, and psychological warfare. I’m not writing about ethics here, but your comment and most of what I’ve seen on Reddit seem to think this is some silly nilly willy attack with no logical warfare thought put into it, while it’s not, precisely at this moment of the war Russia would not attack so far West without some tactical gain.
And Ukraine targeting civilians in the donbass republics for 8 fucking years isn’t? Luhansk has an entire memorial site dedicated to the children and infants killed by Ukraine and their Nazi paramilitaries. Why haven’t you been calling out Ukraine for war crimes for the past 8 years? But as soon as Russia steps in and stops the endless shelling of schools and markets they’re the bad guys.
The war crime there is Ukraine purposefully putting military equipment there. According to international law, as well as the UN speaking on this specifically, Russia has every right to do that once they start putting their weapons there.
Where is there proof that human shields weren’t used? Ukraine has a documented history of using human shields and placing military targets in civilians areas, which itself is a war crime I might add. Where is the proof Ukraine did not commit this crime this time around?
My impression is that there is evidence that Ukranian forces had sheltered in those facilities, which I think is a warcrime as well, while there’s not much evidence of those facilities being used as shelters for pro-russian forces in the previous decade. I’d be happy to be updated with more accurate info.
