I think i already said it a few pages ago. In war, both sides commit war crimes, and the worse things get the worse the crimes, thats the reality. it is clearly getting alot worse and its the leading narrative across the planet relating to the war. In the aftermath of the current changing situaiton, more is coming to light.
Israel: UK, Germany threaten new sanctions after alleged Bucha massacre
Ireland: West voices horror as mass graves discovered in Ukraine
England (BBC): As Moscow's forces retreat from areas near Kyiv, evidence of civilian killings is mounting. Reporters in the town of Bucha, outside Kyiv, have found at least 20 bodies strewn in the streets. Germany condemns a "terrible war crime". France's President Macron calls pictures from the scene "unbearable". The UK PM says "despicable attacks" are evidence of war crimes. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken describes scenes of bodies on the street as a "punch to the gut"
Germany (Spiegel): The Ukrainians have liberated the town of Trostyanets following a month of Russian occupation. The occupiers left behind destruction, dead civilians and a shaken populace – who say the Russian soldiers didn't even know why they were there in the first place.
China: Xi: Ukraine peace talks vital
Al Jazeera: Russia-Ukraine live news: UN chief urges independent Bucha probe
Human Rights Watch: (Warsaw) – Human Rights Watch has documented several cases of Russian military forces committing laws-of-war violations against civilians in occupied areas of the Chernihiv, Kharkiv, and Kyiv regions of Ukraine. These include a case of repeated rape; two cases of summary execution, one of six men, the other of one man; and other cases of unlawful violence and threats against civilians between February 27 and March 14, 2022. Soldiers were also implicated in looting civilian property, including food, clothing, and firewood. Those who carried out these abuses are responsible for war crimes.
The Sunday Times: Zelensky accuses Russia of genocide in Irpin and Bucha Massacre of ‘hundreds of civilians’ fuels calls for war crimes case against Putin
The Interceptdotcom: Amid overwhelming evidence that Russian forces have committed war crimes during an unprovoked war of aggression in Ukraine, Ukrainian officials were confronted this week with video that appeared to show Ukrainian soldiers shooting captive Russian soldiers in the legs. Although Ukraine’s senior military leader and its domestic intelligence agency both insisted that the video posted on social networks on Sunday was “a fake” produced by Russia, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy promised that the government would investigate and punish those responsible if the incident did take place. On Monday, a well-known Ukrainian journalist, Yuri Butusov, published graphic video showing the charred remains of three men he identified as Russian soldiers, as Ukrainian forces recaptured the town of Malaya Rohan, outside Kharkiv, over the weekend. Although Butusov made no mention of the video of the alleged war crime, a visual analysis of his footage shows that it was clearly filmed in the same location as the video of the prisoners being shot, some time after that incident.
All of that above should not surprise anyone, but rather it is a product of war. Because there is so much focus on this in our western world, we will hear and see alot more then if it had been somewhere in say, the middle east, or china.
"both sides", huh? well i guess we can't possibly blame russia then, right? i mean it's not like there wouldn't be a war in the first place if russia hadn't invaded ukraine, and it's not like apparently there were some pretty egregious war crimes committed by russians - no, you just HAVE to bothsides the issue...

It is, just like maiming and torturing russian pow's. Difference today is, one is spammed all across the world as a headline meanwhile the other was barely acknowledged by the Ukrainian officials and was not even mentioned in most MSM. I get it though, there's a propaganda war happening right beside the real war. It's like during the Syria war, a dead child on a beach or ruins of Aleppo were constantly spammed in the west, meanwhile Al-Nusra fighters or as the media often called them, 'moderate rebels' were presented as freedom fighters rising up against a tyrant.
yeah right, so a group of young men breaks into a house, they steal all the valuables, rape the wife and daughter, murder them, and set the place on fire. the media reports about the gruesome act, but mr. void is really concerned about how the father tried to stab one of the intruders in the eye - why doesn't media focus more on that part? stabbing people in the eye is illegal! damn mainstream media with their pro-innocent-family propaganda. how dare they?
