      It sounds like the way they’re notifying the survivors is unnecessarily antagonistic, but they’re actually providing a very important service that Russia is not providing for the families of its own soldiers.

      It's literally a war crime.

      Notifying next of kin is a war crime? How?

      They’re not publishing these photographs.

      They shouldn't be taking the photos, they shouldn't taunting the families of the dead. This is utterly vile.

      Someone has to keep a record to identify the dead and Russia’s not doing it. Russia is abandoning the bodies of its own troops to rot.

      Are people criticizing them for keeping records or for violating the Geneva Convention and using photographs to taunt the families of the dead? I think this part of the article is instructive.pic.twitter.com/Voz9O6d4gi

      You said that they shouldn’t be taking photographs of them at all and I was responding to your argument. And what’s the textual support for this being a war crime? They’re not holding the soldiers as objects of public curiosity, they’re privately notifying families.

      This story makes it very clear that they’re using the ClearView software to notify next-of-kin. https://reut.rs/3xx9p9C pic.twitter.com/VKomsQGJpt

      Again, the Washington Post story documents that these are not simple notifications of next-of-kins but taunting messages designed to inflict psychological pain on the survivors. This is something that should be tested in court to make clear it's a war crime.

          Your assertion that this is a war crime is based on your belief the Ukrainians are taunting the Russian families. The counter argument is that well meaning people are trying to lessen the pain of distraught families who are unknowing of their son’s fates.
