Asymmetric warfare is one thing; streaming an apparent violation of international law is another.
I’m no expert, but isn’t there a rule against targeting disabled fighters?
If I were commanding forces, I would hoard my rule-breaking opportunities and use them to gain decisive advantage, not engage in harassment. I hope something was gained here. Otherwise, Russia gets to point a finger and pretend to justify their own, far worse, barbarism.

There are videos that show a clear violation, but this is not one of them.
Nice; thank you for the analysis.
