technically, one could argue Zelensky is confirmed to be doing this with his conscription order whereas russian troops without strong proof that this is so are so far only alleged (I have seen videos of them definitely icing civilians on the roads when feeling threatened, but so did the US in Iraq. none of it seems to be something as systematic as an order - if it's a male ukie, it's a dead ukie.) so I think the 'dead women and kids' angle would work out better for them TBH. not that it really matters if you ask me, both sides are so fucking far into warcrimes territory by now with the prisoner torture and utter disregard for corpses and civilians that getting heated about it for either side's benefit purely makes sense if you're actually there and fighting for said side.
