#ukraine #ukrainewar #ukraineconflict In Donbass fields the peonies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.

@GloOouD @Quacksalbe ICC The rules of war clearly set the boundaries of combat. A soldier who has surrendered or who is wounded is outside them. Attacking a combatant who has surrendered is murder and the same also applies to attacking a combatant who has been wounded and has ceased to pose a threat.

@anders_aslund What's almost more interesting is how counterproductive it is militarily. It floods all Russia's defenses at the head and down to the sea. They win a week to a month of wetlands then advance will be relatively unobstructed for Ukraine. It's complete panic to buy a small pause.
