Will a film of Ukrainians shooting Russians lead to Russian war crimes?

It's very likely this film was staged by Russians as part of their disinformation campaign.

But, real film or not, will Putin use this to justify the use of chemical or biological weapons?

A fake film, in fact, might be part of the overall strategy "giving Russia the right," according to Putin, to use chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.

If the film is real, the same applies. Putin might capitalize on it and use it for justification to commit further war atrocities.

I find it strange no one is mentioning this.

What do you think?

Read the post. Geez.

The subject line is not made for nuance. You're right factually about the subject line, of course, but wrong about the post and childish in temperament.

I saw that video here, the poster said there was no identification visable to see who was shooting who, but I think it is assumed it was Ukrainians shooting captured Russians in the legs after they got out of the back of a pickup truck.

Is it a harbinger of Russian chemical, biological, or nuclear attacks?
