By any objective measure, many of the actions of the Russian armed forces over the last six weeks have clearly amounted to war crimes. Initially there were strong suspicions based on the little information. But now that the Russian army has withdrawn from the Kyiv area, the evidence is damning. Today, a Russian rocket attack on a railway station in eastern Ukraine killed 30 people and wounded 100. Random, widespread, killing of civilians, use of human shields, the systematic targeting of non-military buildings, all these disgraceful activities and more are clearly contrary to the accepted rules of war and deeply offend common decency. Quite properly, there is international outrage but that is not enough.
