Russian invasion of Ukraine

The assassination campaign, while cheered by many Ukrainians, nonetheless raises legal and ethical questions about extrajudicial killings and potential war crimes, particularly when the targets are political actors or civilians and not combatants on the battlefield or other military personnel. And those questions cannot simply be waved away by pointing to the illegality of Russia’s invasion.

The civilians are occupiers of their own homes n land?

We'll listen to some of what you say when you condemn any ruZZian war crimes. Any moment now... we're waiting.

Failing to see where this article provides any evidence these killings are being done by the Ukrainian state, as you've been implying.

I fucking hope they're doing it. Good for 'em. It still isn't terrorism or war crimes.

Russia having a partisan issue is a problem for them of their own making with what we know of their conduct towards civilians in occupied regions in this war.

A bully never likes when they get hit back. Infact the bully is likely to cry victim when that happen, just like perpetual lil crybaby ruZZia.

It is not their land, they are not "civilians", they are occupiers.

And just as a reminder, this ruZZki still hasn't condemned any terrorist acts done by ruZZia while he keeps crying about supposed terror by Ukraine.

So it was their land when they were Ukrainian citizens, but when those Crimea civilians became part of Russia, these former Ukrainian citizens are now occupying the land that was previously theirs? So they stole their own land is your point

Lol, just LOL

You had an opportunity once more to condem ruZZian terror acts and war crimes. Yet again you fail to do so.

All I need is one admission, then you will get talked to like an adult.

Wow, 30 seconds passed and that vote held at gunpoint really didn't seem to stick, huh?

This feels like Putin's going to mobilize police to Ukraine, since he's comically out of troops and they are sworn to serve or fall out a window.

Unironically the police might be the strongest troops Russia has right now since tyrants need strong homeland security to keep their citizens in check.

Uhm, bridges ARE civilian infrastructure, last I looked bridges are used by civilians, so targeting bridges is killing civilians, which did happen here, three people died.

So Russia bombing all Ukrainian bridge and power plant is terrorism as well then ?

He has already gone down the rabbit hole of claiming that those were actually Ukraine doing it to themselves. You won't get an honest answer out of this snake.

Ironically the ruSSian police isn't even that strong (or rather strong in numbers) but the opposition is so comically small that it is easy to keep in control.

Collaborators (Those who do it willingly and not under "duress") are basically traitors and strategical assets to be removed.

So you support murdering civilians. Got it.

When they betray their country and assist an invader which murders civilians ? Yes, as it should. You betray ? You have to pay the price for being scum.

But I am not supporting it as much as you do as you support killing indiscriminately civilians which Russia is doing.

So you want to murder civilians if they support another faction? While at the same time complaining about civilian lives

You do not seem to grasp the nuance about all that ? I get it, it is not your fault, you were born like that.

But they are not supporting "another faction", they are supporting a country invading their country on false pretense, while that country (Russia) is bombing civilian infrastructures on a daily basis while Ukraine is showing restrain (mostly due to US). I am not even putting the Russian war crimes in the mix yet.

"we feel like, we have an excuse to murder civilians we feel are inconvenient to our cause"

They are not inconvenient, they paint a target on their back the moment they betrayed willingly. Obviously, bystanders should not get hurt or killed if possible. But a full on traitor ? It is fair game.

Still better than Russia killing civilians in hospitals or residential areas.

Let me guess, Russia did not execute civilians in Bucha ?

Nobody cares about your uneducated and ignorant opinions dude.

Technically that role has been taken over by the rosvergardya, putin's personal "army/guard", and that's also why at least a 1000 refused to go to Ukraine, citing that they were not allowed to go there as their mandate is to protect russia, NOT wage war in another country.

Assassinations by partisans against collaborators is fine.

Occupiers come in, kill/disappear/or dis empower civil servants like existing mayors and then install their own. The guy who was installed is a legitimate target. Sorry if this hurts your feelings.
