    Well if you dump your murderers, sadists, rapists and other criminals to frontlines, this is what you get. It’s pointless to claim that this happens on both sided by equal amount.

    Russians themselves must have paid for this as discipline problems, armed incidents inside thier own ranks, damaged relations with the people living in the occupied areas, etc.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Since Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February last year, Ukrainian authorities, rights groups, international bodies and news organizations have documented an overwhelming body of evidence of alleged Russian war crimes and human rights abuses.

    The reports of alleged torture against children came to light after some Ukrainian territories were retaken from occupying Russian forces.

    A report released in February detailed allegations of an expansive network of dozens of camps where children underwent “political reeducation,” including Russia-centric academic, cultural and, in some cases, military education.

    Since the war began, at least 545 children have been killed and nearly 17,000 injured, though the actual numbers are likely to be much higher, according to Rosemary DiCarlo, UN Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs.

    Ukraine’s representative to the UN Sergіy Kyslytsya said Russia has pursued a policy of mass abduction and forceful indoctrination of Ukrainian children since 2014.

    Last week, the US State Department rolled out new sanctions targeting more than a dozen individuals and entities involved in the forcible transfer and deportation of Ukrainian children.

    Why did this CNN article not address the issues with falsified rape reports from Ukrainian officials? Seems like they didn’t bother to do a proper job exploring the issue. This isn’t to deny that sexual assault is occuring in the conflict, it is instead meant to counter the broad painting of racist tropes being spread about Russian “Orcs” raping everywhere they go.

    Rape tends to go hand-in-hand with war no matter which country is the invader. Something you’ll need to contend with at the personal level is that if you are war-mongering, you are indirectly supporting sexual assaults among the people involved in the conflict. Maybe you should reconsider your justifications of war.
