Former CIA chief David Petraeus:
"The Ukrainian targets are legitimate military targets. They will stand up to any test against the Geneva Conventions, the Laws of Land Warfare. Russia certainly cannot make that claim.
Last month alone, for example, the Ukrainians estimated that they killed or wounded some 46,000 Russian soldiers.
And we know the recruitment is roughly somewhere around 30,000.
Russia has engaged in absolutely barbaric activities, be it the Bocha massacres, killing prisoners, torture, bringing children into the Russian Federation from occupied areas of Ukraine.
Their list of violations of the Geneva Convention is very long."
