- kbelder 5y agoUkraine has claimed to have caught Russians disguised as Ukrainian soldiers, which I think actually qualifies as a true war crime under international treaty.

The distinction between some war crimes and some ruses de guerre is somewhat blurry (for example, doing the same thing with a warship would not be a crime as long as you identify yourself properly before attacking). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruse_de_guerre https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruse_de_guerre
