Cruelty between two opposing armies on a level playing field is one thing, and blatant war crimes against 3rd world unarmed and defenseless CIVILIANS is quite another!
The former we call badly behaved soldiers and the latter we call cowards!
What you see below (your posts and comment) isn't "badly behaved soldiers", it's the cold blooded murder of unarmed prisoners of war and - by your reckoning - a standard Russian practice.
It puts your sneering comments about the chosen BBC article and the Russian Forces' so-called valour and bravery in context.
The BBC article is about an ongoing investigation regarding alleged UK SF atrocities in the past. I put it to you, the idea there would be a similar event in Russia, investigating all the way up to what Putin knew about it and splashed all over the main Russian news is absolutely absurd but typical of the double standards you routinely employ in your worship of all things Russian. Rather, you post videos of such actions (real, not alleged) on their part with relish and approval.
Regardless, you really shouldn't pick and choose which articles from Western sources suit you, whilst condemning anything that doesn't as corrupt, criminal, lying trash. I understand - you have to cover the possibility that somebody might be tempted to post something from a non-Russian source, making it clear that only articles from the Western MSM you approve of are to be acceptable. Better perhaps though to stick to your normal MO of swallowing and regurgitating absolutely anything (no matter how patently ridiculous) which emanates from Russian State controlled media.
This thread stopped being a reasonable and rational discussion/record of events regarding the Ukrainian war some time ago. Instead it's become a bellicose, often ranting organ of Russian propaganda.
Meantime - we're 39 months into a war between the Russian "superpower" and a relatively much smaller place called Ukraine. At which point they haven't even taken all of the Russian speaking bits. Their famous high-tech armaments industry you almost daily boast about has seen the country having to buy weapons and parts from the likes of NK/Iran/China. That, whilst exhausting their convict population and importing thousands of NK troops to make up for manpower losses.
And today - day 1130 of the "Special Military Operation" - the wonderful news of Russia's achievements are................................... as has always been the theme of your daily posts about the entirely avoidable tragedy in Ukraine and its million + dead
