    Bucha was an isolated incident and a horrific war crime but not one that necessarily shows Russian goals of this conflict.

    So the mass graves of dead Ukrainian civilians, including dead children, is also an isolated incident? source

    How about Russian soldiers killing the mother of a baby, leaving the baby alive but wrapping in a live grenade and taping it back to the dead mother? Is that also an isolated incident?

    ““In Chernihiv Region, Ukrainians entered a liberated village, and there lay a murdered mother, to whom the Russians tied a crying baby with tape. Our soldier cut the tape to take the child away, and a grenade exploded between the child and the mother. So my question is, what other level of escalation is needed?” Reznikov said.” source

    You ask why Ukraine still fights. They know this is what russia will do when they have power to do to so to the people of Ukraine.

      Yes, those are isolated incidents. All of your examples also took place in 2022, confirming what William Schabas stated which was that the killings of civilians has became less common than at the start of the conflict.

      And it ain’t uncommon in war unfortunately, see America’s conduct in Iraq 2003 and beyond (where America actually managed to murder more Iraqi civilians than the amount of Ukrainian civilians that Russia murdered).

      Compare with the Sudan regime which explictly wanted to exterminate the Darfuri people leading to the deaths of hundreds of thousands in massacres.

        I realize I’ve been wasting my time with you. I just checked your history. You joined 6 days ago and have been posting russian disinformation and revisionist history nearly nonstop for that entire time. I hope you’re paid well for your efforts. I won’t be seeing it anymore as you’re now on my block list. I imagine you’ll have to cycle your account soon because I won’t be alone in blocking you.
