Noticed that as well on this side of the Rhine. Russia's mouthpiece in Germany, Sahra Wagenknecht, callously (and successfully) planted the narrative in talk shows that "war crimes do simply happen in war", effectivelly putting the lid on that. It's disgusting.
What's even more staggering in this context is that the UN's human rights report on Ukraine firmly lays the blame on Russia and explicitely states that whilst the Russians habitually commit war crimes, almost no war crime allegations have ever surfaced against Ukraine.
