Human Rights Watch accuses Russian forces of 'apparent war crimes' in Ukraine
LVIV, Ukraine, April 3 (Reuters) - A leading rights group said on Sunday it had do ented "apparent war crimes" committed by Russian military forces against civilians in Ukraine.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) issued a statement saying it had found "several cases of Russian military forces committing laws-of-war violations" in Russian-controlled regions such as Chernihiv, Kharkiv and Kyiv.
The statement, published in Warsaw, came one day after dead civilians were found lying scattered through the streets of the Ukrainian country town of Bucha near Kyiv, three days after the Russian army pulled back from a month-long occupation. read more
Russia's defence ministry denied on Sunday that its forces had killed civilians in Bucha. It said in a statement that all Russian units had left the town on March 30, and that footage and photographs showing dead bodies were "yet another provocation". read more
The ministry did not immediately respond to the specific allegations in the HRW statement.
The Kremlin says its "special military operation" aims to degrade the Ukrainian armed forces and is targeting military installations, not civilians.
Asked about separate war crime allegations on March 1, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told a conference call with reporters: "We categorically deny this." He dismissed allegations of Russian strikes on civilian targets and the use of cluster bombs and vacuum bombs as fakes. read more
The New York-based HRW referred to Bucha in its statement, for which it said it had interviewed 10 people including witnesses, victims and local residents, in person or by phone. It said some had been too scared to give their full names.
“The cases we do ented amount to unspeakable, deliberate cruelty and violence against Ukrainian civilians,” said Hugh Williamson, HRW's Europe and Central Asia director.
“Rape, murder, and other violent acts against people in the Russian forces' custody should be investigated as war crimes.”
These, it said, included one case of repeated rape; two cases of summary execution - one of six men - and other cases of unlawful violence and threats against civilians between Feb. 27 and March 14.
"Soldiers were also implicated in looting civilian property, including food, clothing, and firewood. Those who carried out these abuses are responsible for war crimes," the report said.
Reuters was not immediately able to verify the HRW evidence.
HRW said that, on March 4, Russian forces in Bucha had "rounded up five men and summarily executed one of them".
Reuters journalists visited Bucha on Saturday and Sunday, after being given access by Ukrainian forces who recaptured the area, and saw bodies wearing no military uniforms scattered in the streets.
On Sunday, Bucha's mayor, Anatoliy Fedoruk, showed a Reuters team two corpses with white cloth tied around their arms, which the mayor said residents had been forced to wear during the month that Russian forces occupied the city. read more
Northeast of Kyiv in the Chernihiv region, the report said, Russian forces in Staryi Bykiv rounded up at least six men on Feb. 27, later executing them. It cited the mother of one of the men, who said she was nearby when her son was captured and who later saw the bodies of all six men.
HRW said all parties to the armed conflict in Ukraine were obligated to abide by international law and the laws of war.
“Russia has an international legal obligation to impartially investigate alleged war crimes by its soldiers,” Williamson said.

[QUOTE=HemisfairArena;10712696]Let me make it simple as you are a simpleton.
This thread is about the Ukraine, hater is just brining up non-Ukraine to feel better.
The world class US and China military was in reference to dmc saying russian military was in par with US and China (RG has also used that quote to remind dmc what an idiot he is).
So before you interrupt adults, make sure you know your , idiot.
Now go back to your cuck shed.
Two russian trucks taken out by breakdowns, aka "Deadlined". Russia is running against time as these more and more trucks break down and cannot be replaced.
There is some fair reason to think they may run critically short on arty ammo compounding problems.
"on par with the US"
& nary a one of a Ukr soldier. tee, hee.
Orban, Orban, he's our man!
Stinkpot Biden belongs in a garbage can!
Good read.
With Anonymous still alive and reporting the iden ies of the russian military members in Ukraine (note: all Anonymous members should be all killed by pootin per the board chunko), it narrows the list down of who was involved in the murder of innocent civilians in Bucha.
The russians were not well prepared for the special operation.

Lithuania was having none of Putin's threats against the EU to shutoff gas if payments weren't made in Rubbles for it.
They said they simply wouldn't buy Russia gas ... EVER again.
