    Its kinda hard to understand what it is depicting. Seems like russia is doing a lot of warcrimes according to this site? Ukraine possibly some but seems like russia is leading by far.

    Or did I miss something important here?

      The west accusing Russia of everything under the sun is nothing now. However, acknowledging torture, harsh arrests, and repression against the media happening in Ukraine is something we haven’t seen before. Some notable ones are credible reports of torture, cruel treatment, arbitrary arrests. Restrictions on freedom of speech, media, associations, as well as the use of child labor. Journalists facing violence, threats, arrests, and censorship.

      Some violations are related to martial law, but authorities often did not punish responsible officials. The National Security and Defense Council imposed sanctions against media, including blocking websites and TV channels for criticizing the government or having “pro-Russian views.” The telemarathon ensured state control over prime-time news.

      The UN OHCHR documents arbitrary arrests, including detentions of men for conscientious objection to military service (2–4 days with beatings and suffocation). The Security Service of Ukraine conducted arrests without warrants, held detainees without contact with the outside world, used violence, and forced signatures on documents.

      The report also mentions the Chilean-American filmmaker who was arrested in 2023 for “justifying Russia’s actions.” He died on January 12, 2024, in custody due to deteriorating health, possibly due to neglect or poor treatment.

        Thanks for pointing this out. It is cruel that ukrainians are doing that to their own people. It wouldnt be great towards the enemy but the own population is a different ballgame imo.

          Thye Euromaiden Kyiv coup government was genociding 25% of their population just because those innocent people are in the rebelling states of the Dombass regions. In fact, the terrorist attacks that Pax Americana media oligarchy falsely claimed were caused by Russians were actually attacks by the Azov group that is affiliated with the Kyiv government.
