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.

"Report: Russian missile hits Japanese freighter in Black Sea"

Fair warning: have not found any other verification of this, but logging just in case.

Marker for potential indiscriminate attack on civilian areas.

The town of Starobilsk after being shelled by Russians. Marker for potential indiscriminate attack of a civilian residential area.

Marker for attempted murder / murder of civilians.

Russian troops alleged to be using PFM-1 "Butterfly mines" in Ukraine.

Use of weapons that do not distinguish between combatants and civilians, for example mines, are outlawed under the Geneva Convention.

Alleged reports of Russian soldiers opening fire at civilians in cars.

Reported aftermath of Russian missile attack on residential suburbs of Mariupol'.

Reported incident of Russian jet firing missiles at residential area.

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.

Putin threatening the world with nuclear war.

Putin does not deny that Russian forces have been attacking civilian targets.

Just says they won't do it again. Image
The @WSJ reporting on Russian troops firing indiscriminately at residential areas of Ukraine.

Not a war crime alert, but @KarimKhanQC highlighting that possible war crimes will be looked into - proceeding with opening an investigation.

More reports of Russian troops using indiscriminate cluster bombs.

On @LBC homepage at time of posting:

"Blast rocks Kharkiv as Russia 'takes child hostages' amid claims Putin used vacuum bomb"

lbc.co.uk/news/putin-lau… Image
Marker for potential Russian plans to also invade #Moldova according to Lukashenko's map.

Russian troops have indicated they are using high-precision weapons. A school in Kharkiv is reportedly hit by the Russian "high-precision" strikes.

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"

twitter.com/i/events/14993…
Marker for potential false flag operation to justify the occupation of #Ukraine by Russian troops.

Reports coming in of sexual abuse of Ukrainian women by Russian troops.

One of the tweets above 👆 in this thread of potential #humanrights abuse and #warcrimes mentions sexual abuse of women in #Ukraine by Russian troops.

Here is another report of the same.

There are reports of Russian troops continuing their attacks in #Ukraine despite arranging a cease fire for a humanitarian corridor.

twitter.com/i/events/14832…
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.

Although wonder if this breaches Geneva III on "public curiosity".

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.

Footage has emerged of Russian troops not only shelling the #Zaporizhzhia #NuclearPowerPlant, but also shooting INSIDE #ZaporizhzhiaNPP.

@ZelenskyyUa has described the attack on #ZaporizhzhiaNuclearPowerplant as "nuclear terrorism".

The Kyiv Independent (@KyivIndependent) also reporting on the shooting INSIDE the #Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.

Reports of an alleged incident where Russian soldiers fired on civilians.

"Death squads who are attacking civilians as they flew in cars..."

Very disturbing images from @SkyNews team allegedly attacked by one of these "death squads".

Russian troops again alleged to not honour an agreed humanitarian corridor ceasefire.

news.sky.com/story/ukraine-…
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.

news.sky.com/story/ukraine-…
Russian state approved media suggesting that the invasion goes beyond the borders of Ukraine.

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