Armed civilians without giving them a uniform. Breach of Geneva Conventions

people come to your home to kill you

you give those people a gun to defend themselves

Article 23(b) of the 1907 Hague Regulations] is construed as prohibiting assassination … It does not, however, preclude attacks on individual soldiers or officers of the enemy whether in the zone of hostilities, occupied territory, or elsewhere.

The annotations to [the manual] state that the [italicized] sentence was inserted “so as not to foreclose activity by resistance movements, paratroops, and other belligerents who may attack individual persons”.

Customary international law does not … prohibit belligerents from using saboteurs, secret agents or other irregular forces feigning civilian status to attack legitimate military targets. Wear of civilian clothing during an attack, or during a spying or sabotage mission behind enemy lines, may subject combatants to punishment if captured by the enemy.

So the "law" literally isn't relevant for Ukraine

"I wish I wasn't so gullible at times"

Says it all really. Accepting everything on this list with no sources at all and when you search for these "war crimes" yourself, either you find nothing or Russian state propaganda with zero evidence.

Amazing how hard tankies reach to excuse blatant imperialism.
