Sorry to disappoint you but you won't find this on Russia Today Ukraine’s ‘Nuremberg Moment’ Amid Flood of Alleged Russian War Crimes 10th June 2022 As Russia continues its assault on Ukraine, top Biden administration officials are working behind the scenes with the Ukrainian government and European allies to document a tsunami of war crimes allegedly committed by Russian forces. But the sheer volume of the documented war crime cases could be too overwhelming for Ukraine’s justice system as well as for the International Criminal Court (ICC), raising questions of how many cases will be brought to trial and how many accused Russian war criminals could ultimately face justice. “This is a Nuremberg moment in terms of just the sheer scale of the breach of the rules-based international order that has been perpetrated by Russia in this invasion,” said Beth Van Schaack, the U.S. ambassador-at-large for global criminal justice. https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/06/10/ukraines-nuremberg-moment-amid-flood-of-alleged-russian-war-crimes/ Ukraine reports 15,000 suspected war crimes Around 15,000 suspected war crimes have been reported in Ukraine since the war began, with 200 to 300 more reported daily, its chief prosecutor said. Some 600 suspects have been identified and 80 prosecutions have begun, Iryna Venediktova told reporters in The Hague. The list of suspects includes "top military, politicians and propaganda agents of Russia", she added. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-61652467 Lets also not forget the 2 British and 1 Moroccan sentenced to death by a kangaroo court which I seem to remember you discussing in a few posts

Yes of course, waste all that precious ammo, grenades and manpads, have bullets whizzing past your head just for a set up. Perhaps the reality is that when they are fighting they use cross bows..............???? Putin also thinks its pointless going on about war crimes, the international community does not including Ukraine

Weren't those helicopters laid to rest nicely on the first day of the invasion when they tried to take the airbase near Kiev and got repelled by the Ukrainians? Not much more to talk about on that front. Since then the the amount of war crimes committed have been one of the sadder aspects of this attack that makes it so notable and forms very much part of the progression of Russia's barbarism. More realities you prefer not to talk about

From just 9 hours ago: Defense Secretary Austin and Gen. Milley hold news briefing after Ukraine meeting This is the full press briefing, 35 mins but covers most items with up to date assessments including the delivery of military aid in responses to the Ukraine requests at a meeting in Brussels with some 50 countries backing Ukraine. For those who lack emotions in this war, bear a thought for the Ukrainians and how General Milley put it. @25.53 General Milley: "For Ukraine, this is an existential threat, they're fighting for the very life of their country, your ability to endure suffering, your ability to endure casualties is directly proportional to the object to be obtained, if the object to be obtained is the survival of your country then you're going to sustain it. As long as they have the means to fight then I think they will continue to fight." Austin: "We can't afford to let up and we can't lose steam. The stakes are too high. Ukraine is facing a pivotal moment on the battlefield," "We must intensify our shared commitment to Ukraine's self defence, and we must push ourselves even harder to ensure that Ukraine can defend itself, its citizens and its territory." If anyone thinks the west or Ukraine is lacking the will or their objectives have changed then watch the vid. Meanwhile Putin's alter ego "Peter the Great" will be giving his annual speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on the 17th June. Its rumored his new world order will again be the rhetoric.

Disregarding your completely irrelevant response to the facts in the post you replied to, without emotions, wars would be decided by the push of red buttons.

Well Arnie may not break it down in stats but he certainly is sending a strong message on western media. This from yesterday

& steel............... Russian Media Confirms Extraction of Grain, Steel From Ukraine's Ports Russia has admitted to taking grain and steel cargoes from Ukraine and removing them to Russian territory, confirming Ukrainian accusations of theft. an initial cargo of 2,700 tonnes of Ukrainian steel would be shipped some 100 miles from Mariupol to the Russian port of Rostov-on-Don. No commercial transaction or payment for the cargo was mentioned; https://www.maritime-executive.com/article/russian-state-media-confirms-extraction-of-grain-steel-from-ukraine

Care to share the link on the alleged Ukraine forces setting light to grain stores? Meanwhile I read credible reports, this from Josep Borrell Fontelles, High Representative of the EU: Russian missile strike destroyed the second biggest grain terminal in Ukraine at Mykolaiv. Another Russian missile strike contributing to the global food crisis. Russian forces have destroyed the second biggest grain terminal in #Ukraine, in #Mykolaiv. In light of such reports, the disinformation spread by Putin deflecting blame becomes ever more cynical.

That figures Really? Your post is all facts and reality is it? I disagree.

Sure, I bet Russia is itching to be exposed with targeting grain trains, not enough the silos but hey, lets show the world the silos were not a mistake because we'll even target any trains moving it with inaccurate missiles which is all they have left.
