There are others who have feeds of up-to-date news coming out of #Ukraine. This is not one of those #threads. I am building up a thread of reports of potential #warcrimes (regardless of which side is allegedly to have committed them) so that there is a record for the future.
Don't know for sure what is happening in this video, but logging it for potential evidence.

Video in tweet above 👆 seems to be confirmed by @amnesty as an attack on a civilian area.
It is being alleged that Russian propaganda is saying #Ukraine may attack Russia with a dirty bomb - although Ukraine does not have any nuclear weapons. Is something like this does happen, flagging for Putin regime killing own civilians for false flag op.
Reported unexploded Russian missile in residential area in Ukraine.
Reports of driver narrowly escaping during a shelling barrage in the city of Kharkiv.
Probably not a war crime, but flagging for more potential instances of criminal intent from Russian regime.
There are reports that some did not even know they were invading. It has been alleged that they were on exercise, and then ended up in Ukraine.
Russian troops firing at houses in Kharkiv.

Flag for record of potentially indiscriminate attacks involving residential areas by Russian troops.
A tweet in a thread by @euronewsgreen on the fate of animals in Kyiv Zoo highlighting the Russian troops' increasing attacks on residential areas.
Adding this to my thread of potential #warcimes by the Russian regime.
Although perhaps lying to your own people isn't a war crime, it serves as a a dire background to the Russian regime's criminal enterprise in invading #Ukraine.
Its so sad that this #thread of potential #warcrimes just keeps growing, but I'm determined to gather a record of what happened in one place so we can look back and hopefully learn the real meaning of "never again".
"Vladimir Putin resorts to brutal bombardments after ‘Western’ approach to Ukraine invasion fails"

We have seen reports of Russian troops attacking residential areas in #Ukraine. Here is a pilot alleged to have been bombing civilian areas who has been captured and being interrogated.

A possible (probable?) translation of the video in the tweet above 👆. I do not speak Russian so cannot verify, but offering as a potential reference for viewers as to what is being said.

WARNING: some may find footage distributing.
Alleged incident of fleeing civilians shelled by Russian troops.
It is the people in the background who were the fleeing civilians, not the guy in the foreground climbing the fence.
Russia wants humanitarian corridors to only lead to Belarus or Russia. Basically a "humanitarian corridor" to be held hostage.
This is NOT a humanitarian corridor, ignoring the fact that they promised one and continued to attack fleeing civilians.

It's been reported by @KyivIndependent that Russian troops have been ordered specifically to attack civilians.
