Human rights organization Amnesty International said Ukrainian forces endanger civilians by setting up bases and deploying weapons systems in residential areas, including schools and hospitals, in an attempt to stop Russian troops.. The report is published on the website of the organization. Adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mykhailo Podolyak and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba have already reacted to this statement..

“Ukraine’s tactics violate international humanitarian law because they turn civilian targets into military targets.. The ensuing Russian strikes on populated areas led to the death of civilians and the destruction of civilian infrastructure,” the report says..

Amnesty International said that from April to July, representatives of the organization investigated Russian strikes in the Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions, as well as in the Donbass, for several weeks..

“During these investigations, Amnesty found evidence that Ukrainian troops were striking from residential areas and were also based in civilian buildings in 19 towns and villages in the regions,” the report says..

The organization also added that they do not know if the Ukrainian military asked or helped civilians to evacuate from nearby buildings in order to protect civilians..

“Many of the Russian strikes that Amnesty has documented in recent months were carried out with inherently indiscriminate weapons, including internationally prohibited cluster munitions or other wide-range weapons.. The Ukrainian military's practice of placing military installations in populated areas in no way justifies Russia's indiscriminate attacks,"

An adviser to the head of the OP, in response to an Amnesty International report, said that “the only thing that poses a threat to the lives of Ukrainians is the Russian army of executioners and rapists that came to Ukraine to commit genocide. He added that the Ukrainian military protect their people and families, and also stressed that the lives of people for Ukraine are an absolute priority, which is why the Ukrainian side is evacuating residents of front-line cities.

“Today, the Russian Federation is making every effort to discredit the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the eyes of Western societies and disrupt the supply of weapons, using the entire network of its agents of influence.. It's a pity that an organization like Amnesty International is involved in this disinformation and propaganda campaign,” Podolyak tweeted..

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba also reacted to the report of the organization. He believes that Amnesty International's statement is not aimed at finding and reporting the truth to the world, but at creating a false balance between the perpetrator and his victim..

“I, just like you, saw the statement of Amnesty International. I, just like you, am outraged, I consider it unfair,” the Foreign Minister said in a video message..

" This behavior by Amnesty International is not about finding and bringing the truth to the world, but about creating a false balance between perpetrator and victim. Between a country that destroys hundreds and thousands of civilians, cities, territories. And a country that defends itself, saving its people and the entire continent from this invasion,” the Foreign Minister added..

Kuleba urged Amnesty International to stop “creating a fake reality in which everyone is to blame for something” and start reporting the truth about what Russia is today.
