As if war did not suck enough. 
Russian civilian treatment should be blamed on every single Russian soldier that does not stand against it, no matter what the cost because the ultimate price is being paid by people that are not even choosing to be involved.
Scum. >

Buddy, they have a lot of climbing to do before they reach that level. >

I know this is a war crime, but it also meets the UN standard for genocide, I believe. >

Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
Killing members of the group;
Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. >

At the very least they definitely have been transferring kids… >

Conscripting people in occupied territory sure seems to line up with the second and third items here. >

Yeah… and we know that the first item has already been committed in occupied territories. The only one I haven’t seen explicitly done is imposing measures on births, but idk how you’d even do that unless you have full control over the region. >

Hey, the Nazis did this too. >

I'm guessing that, in light of this, the Luhansk/Donbas separatists will never be welcome back to the place they started their revolt for.
If some idiot from my town mounted an insurgency that ultimately led to my hometown being occupied and me or my friends drafted.......well that idiot wouldn't be welcome back in town no matter how things shook down. >

They'd be welcome back. And I imagine they'd have a very special party waiting for them. >

With free neckties. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 75%. (I'm a bot)


The Russian army has been accused of forcibly mobilizing Ukrainian citizens living in temporarily occupied regions to fight alongside Moscow's troops, according to a report.
Speaking at a briefing at Media Center Ukraine - Ukrinform, Olha Skrypnyk, Chairperson of the Board at the Crimean Human Rights Group, said men in the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk were "Simply kidnapped" and used as a human shield by the Russian army.
The human rights group's report echoes that of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in which they accused Russia of covertly mobilizing local residents of the city of Sevastopol.
