2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine/War Crimes
| Type |  legal |
|---|
War crimes in this event have been difficult to report on because of the shooting and kidnapping of journalists, which has become normal in modern warfare.
War crimes
Alleged war crimes (by both sides, although not reported as such) include:
1. Indiscriminate attacks and attacks against civilian objects (bombing hospitals, civilian buildings,[1] mining routes used by refugees fleeing Ukraine [2] and targeting nuclear power plants [3])
2. Killing [4] civilians [5][6] and soldiers[7] already surrendering
3. Using children as human shields by letting them sit on top of tanks [8]
4. Rape [9] (interestingly in this case, the locals reported the Russian officers upon being told of this by them arrested the perpetrators and promised they'd be summarily executed)
6. Deportations [12]
Many of those incidents have not been filmed, only for an aftermath to be shown on TV, making is a useful tool for more propaganda as it's not possible to verify these allegations.
