    Bucha masacre happened in March 2022. The war started on the 24th of February.

    News of civilians shot, raped started flowing in since the start of the war.

    russians were doing this while swaths of them were indoctrinated into thinking they will be welcomed with open arms. As saviors.

    Stop whitewashing russia.

      this is not what i’m talking about. these cases of wholesale destruction and ethnic cleansing happened after russians controlled territory, not as a prerequisite to advance. it’s also quite possible that these units were explicitly ordered to do that, and it’s not a result of poor discipline or anything like this
