From Russia with love..

The Eastern Front is a harrowing film about the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine. It documents, in forensic detail, the war crimes being perpetuated by Russian forces. Putin has already been indicted by the International Criminal Court for forcibly taking children from Ukraine into Russia. After this documentary, you can add torture, indiscriminate attacks against non-combatants, and the use of white phosphorus munitions to burn out civilians. Not in the film, but we can also add the blowing up of the Kakhohka dam. This has rendered vast tracts of farmland useless and left millions without clean drinking water.

Directly attacking civilians is an abhorrent method of warfare. The Russians perfected the contemporary version of the technique in Syria. They saw how the Syrian regime attacked towns and cities conventionally for years, and got nowhere. So the focus then became direct attacks on civilians – first by bombing schools, hospitals and infrastructure. Afterwards, they used white phosphorus and other incendiary weapons in a ‘medieval’ type scorched earth policy to burn them out as if vermin. If all this failed, they finally resorted to chemical weapons.  In Syria, this evil plan worked. All of these acts are illegal and contravene the Geneva Conventions and all the rules of war.

We have only scratched the surface of Putin's war crimes
