Nah, just mostly Russians and other non-Westerners.

[@Sunshine-xx1wm]

It happens only because the side doing " this inhuminity" always gets away from punishment or the similar pay back, and like that in everything.

[@earthlingYT]

Horrible crimes happen in western countries every day. Look up the crime reports from any city, anywhere. An apt expression from the TV show CSI: NY a character in the story, a forensic scientist, Danny Messer said The first thing I learned on this job is anybody can do anything to anybody.

[@darrellgeorge5852]

I am so sorry for all your suffering. The Ukraine people are such obviously good people, educated and contributing to the good of the world. I hurt for you, I hope it ends soon but I fear Putin will continue to send the sons of Russia to fight and die and do so until many hundreds of thousands more have died. I don’t understand the void that exists in the Russian spirit; no desire, no passion for life. Slava Ukraine - ❤ - You will win, that’s the only acceptable result.

[@grmpEqweer]

I hope for a free Ukraine, all Russian troops either home or surrendered.

Please continue telling their stories. Justice will find them. Even in a war zone, there is such a thing as basic human decency. What the RuZZian soldiers did is a disgrace , to put it politely. ⚖ 🦅🇺🇦 The wheels of justice turn slowly. And to the young FSB officer reading. You are educated. You understand that your military is struggling. You can be a hero of Russia by standing for peace. Resist VVP and this war in whatever ways you can. Doing so will make you a hero that Russians and the world will honor.

It seems that during their basic training, Russian soldiers must do a course on advanced looting. They are very good at it.

[@robertmaybeth3434]

i wonder if they teach that before or after the torture course and the mock executions classes ?

Ruzzia world leader in alcoholism

[@hcrun]

The only perceivable reason that Russian murderers (they are not "soldiers" - soldiers don't behave like this) are destroying civilian structures and homes and behaving as they are towards civilians is to demoralise the population. To attempt to get them to become anti-Ukraine and push for the nation to capitulate. There is no other reason that makes any sense out of this trauma.

@@user-zd9ux5jv7u It is RuZZia who is behaving just like the n@zis did! Rape, and murder of civilians and POWs alike. Theft, installing illegal governors. Annexation and bombing cities flat! Running concentration camps. All irrefutable and all things that the n@zis did. Those that support this behaviour must also be n@zis!

Also, war is sanctioned and practiced by every country. People agree that some things are "war crimes" but why isn't war itself considered a crime?
