Russian War Crimes.
The article below is from last year. Since then, Putin's attack on Ukraine's civilians has continued unabated. The West should help send as many Russian soldiers home on body bags or left shredded in the streets of Ukraine as possible until the Russian people make Putin stop this war.
IMO, the best solution is for the Russians to depose Vladimir Putin out of a 10 story window.

Here are Russia’s alleged war crimes in the Ukraine invasion
Russia is under international fire over alleged war crimes committed during its invasion of Ukraine.
Days after the war began, the International Criminal Court opened an investigation into alleged war crimes by Russia.
And this week, as Russian troops left communities around Kyiv, photos and videos of civilians dead in the streets — seemingly targeted by Russian troops — have circulated widely.
President Biden has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “war criminal” for the actions of his country’s troops.
Russia has denied all accusations of war crimes and targeting civilians.
Here are the alleged crimes Russia has committed in Ukraine.
Targeted killings of thousands of civilians
The United Nations has recorded at least 1,626 civilians killed since the war began but has repeatedly said that number is likely a severe underestimate.
The dead include a man from Minnesota, reportedly shot by the Russian military while waiting in a bread line.
In the town of Bucha, Ukrainian citizens were found executed with their bodies lying in the streets.
“The Ukrainian city of Bucha was in the hands of [Russian] animals for several weeks. Local civilians were being executed arbitrarily, some with hands tied behind their backs, their bodies scattered in the streets of the city,” Ukraine’s defense ministry alleged.
Targeted destruction of civilian buildings
Thousands of Ukrainians have been forced into bomb shelters by Russia’s bombing campaign in residential areas not connected to the Ukrainian military.
A movie theater in Mariupol was attacked in March while hundreds of families with young children were using it as a bomb shelter. The word “children” was written in big letters on the ground on both sides of the theater.
Dozens of hospitals have been destroyed since the invasion began, including a maternity and children’s hospital in Mariupol.
The World Health Organization previously said it has verified 43 attacks on health care facilities and patients in Ukraine.
Other targeted buildings include residential homes, apartment buildings, shopping malls and schools.
Russian soldiers raping women
Ukraine opened an investigation at the end of March after a civilian women said she was raped by two Russian soldiers.
The woman said the soldiers killed her husband and then raped her while her son was in another room crying.
“He told me to take my clothes off. Then they both raped me one after the other. They didn’t care that my son was in the boiler room crying. They told me to go shut him up and come back,” the woman told The Times of London.
Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dmytro Kuleba previously said there have been multiple allegations of rape against Russian soldiers during the war....
