I might be out of the loop. Can anyone explain the war criminal part to me?
The article that ClathrateG sent describes a drone attack Ukraine did on an airbase which had MILITARY aircraft and shells. What they did not know was that Russia also was hidding nuclear shells which exploded, which led to the attack doing more damage and unintentionally hurting civilians.
Most likely has nothing to do with that specific woman. Maybe just anti-hair color ragebait? Some are saying Ukrainian soldiers are war criminals for this, probably didn't hear how Russians are INTENTIONALLY bombing hospitals. Of course just saying "the other guys are worse" is problematic, but I repeat Ukrainian soldiers did not try to hurt civilians.
Here is a video about it: https://youtu.be/OODJsg6AyQg
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Perhaps not in that specific strike, but I hope you aren't minimizing the civilian deaths caused by Ukraine over the last decade of conflict. If so, there are a lot of people in Luhansk and Donetsk who would disagree if they hadn't been on the wrong end of Ukrainian artillery.
Unlike Russia, Ukraine mostly only targets military facilities. Of course there could be civilian casualties, like maybe in the oil refineries they bombed inside Russia, but they DON'T target civilians, but the strategic positions which may have civilians. Meanwhile Russia DOES target civilians in hospitals and schools.
I admit there are probably civilian casualties caused by Ukraine, but its an ant. Now lets address the elephant in the room: Russian caused civilian casualties and war crimes.
I am surprised you haven't heard of it, for I constantly see people talking about it.
Well here is the FBI talking about the war crimes Russia has done: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights/international-human-rights-unit/russian-war-crimes-in-ukraine
It doesn't say much, but the title explicitly says Russian war crimes. Though the article does not explain what war crimes Russia has committed, I chose the FBI's government website so that you don't imply its an untrusted source. Of course there are many other sources that cover this, since you can just google it (or Firefox it since we are in the fediverse) and there will be thousands of evidence, but you are just to lazy to research yourself.
I don't think anyone on the anglonet has any room to condemn any other nation.
Russian crimes do not excuse Ukraine's. This is whataboutism.
Yes I already addressed this, if you read my previous comments 'Of course just saying "the other guys are worse" is problematic, but I repeat Ukrainian soldiers did not try to hurt civilians.'
What I am saying is not simply that Russia killed more civilians so Ukraine is ok. I am saying that Ukrainian's attacks are fundamentally different since they target strategic positions (which may or may not have civilians) rather than targeting civilian infrastructure. Ukraine attacks are accepted by NATO and does not violate any international laws. In fact a lot of Ukrainian soldiers were trained by NATO countries and follow their rules.

Children and supermarkets aren't legitimate military targets, for a single example, another https://en.topwar.ru/207174-gde-i-kogda-russkij-soldat-s-izvestnogo-video-otrazhal-ataki-ukrainskogo-drona-.html from geneva convention Article 41 - Safeguard of an enemy hors de combat
spoiler
A person who is recognized or who, in the circumstances, should be recognized to be hors de combat shall not be made the object of attack.(a) He is in the power of an adverse Party;
(b) He clearly expresses an intention to surrender; or
(c) He has been rendered unconscious or is otherwise incapacitated by wounds or sickness, and therefore is incapable of defending himself; provided that in any of these cases he abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape.
many other examples can be found
the I think the title is perhaps a reference to this classic
Explanation: this is an instance full of russian misinformation agents and a couple tankies. Stay away.
Everyone that makes fun of ukrainian fascists must be a Russian. Good god go back to reddit dweeb.
Signed, an anarchist.
Edit: also can we please make that comment a new site tagline that rules
Ukrainians keep recording and posting videos of themselves committing war crimes but I guess they're just Russian agents
It's okay to kill Russian civilians with no other purpose than spreading terror because Russians aren't humans! Not a war crime! Checkmate tankies!
Don't you mean Orcs, or Ruzzians, or the worst of all I have heard is Z****rs

Excuse me I'll have you know the MSS agents here work at least 3x as hard and only get .5 xi bucks per post.
Donโt listen to all the liberals denying our true nature. Of course we are a bunch of
and Iโm tired of pretending we are not 
Spooky theremin musicI love when libs say stuff like this because it's a sure bet that I can discount everything that comes out of their mouths. If they're wrong about me being a Russian agent, why should I believe them about anything else?
