We know there’s been war crimes. What’s the punishment?

Plus a finger point and wag.

I don't think anyone is hoping for punishment. It's worth it to remind people what we're fighting for.

I'm beginning to get the idea it's impossible to not commit war crimes while engaged in war.

Can you list a couple of war crimes committed by Ukraine?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm sure there must be some. With so many different forces and mercenary groups in this war, it's impossible to keep an eye on everyone.

You are stating that it's imposible to not commit war crimes while engaged in war. A great way to show this would be to list war crimes committed by Ukraine. Russia, as the aggressor, has committed multiple war crimes. I am not aware of any committed by Ukraine.
