The Shadow of Dehumanization in Ukraine's War Graphic footage of a drone chasing down and wounding a market vendor in Kherson, Ukraine has sparked outrage and accusations of war crimes against Russia.
Beneath this incident lies a disturbing pattern of dehumanization that threatens to engulf the conflict. For months, civilians have been caught in the crosshairs of Russia's military campaigns.
Drone strikes have become increasingly brazen and targeted. President Volodymyr Zelensky described the Kherson attack as a "drone safari," where Russian forces deliberately hunt down and kill civilians for sport.
