Meanwhile on the other side of the country civilians are also being killed and Russian propaganda is working on new excuses:

The Russian Armed Forces liquidated 93 Ukrainian deserters who fled from Mariupol in civilian clothes, said Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev, head of the Russian National Defense Control Center.

Not sure if they had the supposed deserters in custody, i.e. they executed prisoners of war, or they just shot at civilians from a distance, but either case sounds like an admission of a war crime.

Do they say deserters? That is effectively killing civilians, as they do not have weapons and seem to have given up arms? The only case in which they could potentially be executed is if they were still combatants without uniform (AKA spies / saboteurs).
