See bit about all working age men in LNR/DNR being thrown poorly equipped into battle. There is also evidence of farmers being forced to work occupied land for free. What do you call that if not slavery?

Already mentioned this elsewhere in thread.

That's not deathcamps. Same argument could be made for Ukrainian conscripts being thrown into battle just as poorly equipped. And it still wouldn't be deathcamps.

A solid one? I've already seen enough "evidence" of Russians eating babies and stealing asphalt and toilets.

Sorry, if there are no specifics, I won't be trying to guess.

Post-Soviet military frictions due to completely idiotically handled dissolution process are so full of myths and legends and are such a complex topic, that in practice most people have no actual idea.

Take for example Georgia of 2008, for which the "common knowledge" is so vastly different from the UN investigation conclusion.
