Men in Russian military uniforms lie bloody on the ground, stunned, with mangled legs. More men, their hands trussed behind their backs, step from a teal van, kneel to the ground and are shot behind the kneecap at point-blank range, screaming in pain.
Seems like there is at least some truth to this. And while against the Geneva convention and acts of war Ukraine did not enter a war. They are being invaded. I personally wasn't bothered by this.
Funnily enough, war crimes are bad even if you agree with those carrying them out.
I don't view these as war crimes. This is more akin to shooting someone breaking into your house, killing some of your family and then you shoot them. These Russians are invaders. They are murdering families.

You not viewing it as a war crime doesn’t change the fact that it is, in fact, a war crime.
POWs are no threat to anyone. Abusing and torturing them is utterly despicable, period. It also gives the other side an incentive to do the same to the guys on your side who surrender.
We were invaders in Iraq and Afghanistan. By that “logic”, there would have been nothing wrong with the Taliban or ISIS torturing Americans they captured. Are you starting to see the problem yet?
No, I have no problem with invaders being executed. These are the same people destroying their country and murdering their families. Not their military members, they are bombing civilians. Intentionally. I am fine with any thing that happens to them. Wearing a uniform doesn't change that.
The US didn't do that in Iraq. The US targeted Isis areas, while there were some unintentional civilian casualties which are unfortunate, it is the not same as bombing hospitals, and schools to kill civilians.
