Not even a whole week has passed since Russia first invaded Ukraine and already, a war crime seems to have been committed by this country, led by a very disturbed human being. And the world is already suffering the consequences. After all, using weaponry like this is considered a crime against humanity for a reason.

“‘crime against humanity’ means any of the following acts when committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population, with knowledge of the attack…”

Amnesty International accused Russia of using vacuum bombs, to attack a preschool in northeastern Ukraine while civilians took shelter inside.

CNN reported that one of its teams had spotted a Russian thermobaric multiple rocket launcher near the Ukrainian border early on Saturday afternoon.

Ukraine has accused Russian of launching cluster and vacuum bomb attacks as part of a terrifying offensive, with the country’s president claiming that Vladimir Putin’s actions amounted to war crimes
