Talk:War crimes in the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Proposal to rename Russian invasion of Ukraine

[edit]

There is a move discussion that affects this article. See the discussion here: Talk:Russian invasion of Ukraine#Requested move 24 February 2025. – Asarlaí (talk) 15:57, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the section "Sexual Violence" omit statistics of Ukrainian crimes?

[edit]

"The alleged perpetrators were from the ranks of Russian and pro-Russian separatist armed forces in 89 cases and from civilians or unidentified individuals in territory controlled by Russian armed forces in 2 cases." The source given says also: "from the ranks of Ukrainian armed forces, including territorial defence, in 9 cases and law enforcement in 1 case". This is omitted from the article. Why?

Regarding verified cases, the article says: "OHCHR reported that 11 cases, including rape and gang rape, were committed by Russian armed forces and law enforcement." The source given also says: "Five acts of CRSV were committed by Ukrainian armed forces, including territorial defence, or other law enforcement bodies." So out of 23 verified cases, 11 were committed by Russians and 5 by Ukrainians. But the latter is just not mentioned. Why? 31.45.44.189 (talk) 07:59, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please give a link to this source? Lazarbeem (talk) 18:06, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mistreatment of prisoners of war

[edit]

Can the "Mistreatment of prisoners of war" section just be a redirect to the Prisoners of war in the Russian invasion of Ukraine article due to the fact that there is too much to cover in just one section of this article Lazarbeem (talk) 01:35, 17 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

No? It's still possible to summarize key information and incidents without going into too much detail, in-depth coverage is what the main article on the topic is for. Mistreatment of POWs has been noted on both sides of the war in relation to war crimes, so I'm not sure why a reader should need to be redirected to a different article for even a basic overview of the topic.

Understood. Also speaking of another war crime that both sides have been accused of, should looting on this article for both sides be summarized in the same way? Lazarbeem (talk) 14:03, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, but proportionally to the coverage in reliable sources. Alaexis¿question? 15:53, 19 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
