Sure, TBD, but let's not pretend that Russia has earned the benefit of the doubt.  Given everything we've seen to date, I think it's reasonable to predict that any Russia retreat from the west bank of the Dnipro is likely to involve human rights violations of some sort or another.

Totally agree with that. The question is just how well organized these violations will be. Shooting civilians is just SOP. Organized kidnapping may be beyond Russia's means at this point (if Ukraine is lucky).
