11. Burning and burial aren't coverups, they're a sanitation necessity

Leaving corpses out to rot is not a good idea for anyone who is dug in close by. Likely the people in the streets were killed in the last week or so, when the army knew they'd be retreating back into Belarus soon.

Cremating or burying some of the bodies isn't the crime. Rolling into a village and opening fire on all the houses is the crime. Tossing grenades into those houses to wreck them is the crime. Shelling apartment houses is the crime.Destroying hospitals with bombs and shelling is the crime. Rounding up male civilians and shooting them in the legs before executing them is the crime. And I won't mention what they did to any women and girls they caught.

Putin and his undisciplined rabble of an army are butchers. It looks like even Russia's allies are sickened by it. Instead of voting against removing Russia from the human rights committee, they abstained.
