   Bombing schools, hospitals, and refugee columns, summarily executing   
   non combatants in occupied territories (unless you count a Russian   
   soldier saying "You're a Nazi" before shooting a trial and   
   sentencing), taking Ukrainian children far behind the Russian lines,   
   etc. are definitely violations of the rules of war.  (Not to mention,   
   the unprovoked invasion the country and annexation of captured   
   territory, in the first place.)
