This is very vague, and one could easily think it is the separatists committing these atrocities.
None of this violence started until Russia gave some disgruntled Russian speaking people a bunch of tanks and artillery and told them to have a blast (and likely sent in a lot of Russian mercenaries at the same time).
Putin has been untruthful at every step, but while there are countless examples I will only mention the basic when it comes to the invasion.
Putin claimed on Feb 22 that he was sending troops to the Donbass on a "peacekeeping mission". Not even 48 hours later, with zero new provocation, Russia invaded Ukraine on 4 fronts, including using the border of a "neutral" power.
Russia did this to install a Kremlin friendly puppet in Kiev, to intimidate other nations from joining NATO and to flex it's military prowess.
At this point all three of those objectives are laughably unachievable.
