Russia claims its only hitting military targets. What does the Kyiv Mayor say to that? "BULLSHIT!" he spits. A former boxing champion, Vitale Klitschko delivers knockout sound bites that get straight to the point. Feel free to share #Ukraine #Kyiv pic.twitter.com/GvFs7ZWIUz

“它旨在维持人道考量与军事必要性之间的平衡,它使战争受到法律的规制,从而限制战争的破坏性影响和减少人类苦难。严重违反国际人道法的行为构成战争罪。国际人道法作为战时法,规制参与战争或武装冲突的部队的行为。它与诉诸战争权不同,后者规制发动战争或武装冲突的行为,包括反和平罪和侵略战争。”
俄罗斯部队在乌克兰东北部城市切尔尼戈夫(Chernihiv)开枪打死正在排队等候领面包的人。 美国驻基辅大使馆推文说:“今天,俄罗斯部队在切尔尼戈夫射杀10名排队等候领面包的人。这种可怕的攻击必须停止。我们正在考虑所有可用的选项,以确保在乌克兰的任何暴行都有人承担罪责。”
Today, Russian forces shot and killed 10 people standing in line for bread in Chernihiv. Such horrific attacks must stop. We are considering all available options to ensure accountability for any atrocity crimes in Ukraine.

It's hard to believe but #RussianArmy fired directly at a group of people who were standing in the line for bread. Minimum 10 people died.

It points to a potentially deliberate or reckless indiscriminate attack, in so far as it does not appear to have been directed at a specific military target. pic.twitter.com/QlPZO3jwEq

International humanitarian law, or the laws of war, also prohibit attacks or the threat of attacks whose primary purpose is to spread terror among the civilian population.

Attacks against civilian objects that have no evident military purpose could violate this prohibition.
