I've seen some of these FPV videos of kills of unarmed Russian soldiers. I honestly don't know why the pilots are not prosecuted for war crimes.

(and I'm sure Russia does the same to Ukraine, I just haven't seen those videos).

An enemy combatant doesn't stop being an enemy combatant just because he dropped his weapons.

War crime is executing prisoners. And there are a few videos were Russians gleefully murder prisoners
