    Happened, not happening. Almost a year ago. In a foreign volunteer group. With poor evidence and zero investigation into whether the inquiry was started or who was involved with the cover-up. I didn’t say it doesn’t happen. I said the support for this accusation is extremely limited otherwise the article would have been written more strongly than ‘we think he’s believable’. More importantly, I’m making it clear there absolutely are rules and consequences long ago put in place to prevent it so even if it did occur this is a failure of individuals not reporting the crime or handling the reports of it improperly rather than a systemic one.

    Being almost a year old this should have been written far more concretely than it was. Ie: ‘These individuals witnessed a warcrime and provided the following proof to this Ukrainian officer overseeing their operations. We questioned the officer, or their superiors, and they either refused comment or provided an explanation which follows…’. You should be asking yourself why journalists didn’t investigate far deeper than this surface level trite.
