significant civilian suffering, but this kind of severe violations of the laws of war is not universal, it is specific to certain conflicts,\u201d Maynard told Al Jazeera.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe evidence so far would suggest that this has been much more widespread in areas of Russian occupation particularly against civilians but there have been a few isolated crimes that appears to show Ukrainian
