Amnesty International reports that Ukrainian fighting tactics violate international humanitarian law

Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion, Amnesty International reported on August 4. Oksana Pokalchuk, head of Amnesty International Ukraine, said in a Facebook post late Friday that the report “became a tool of Russian propaganda”. Similar accusations appeared in many western news, while Russians media reacted with praise and vindication over Amnesty's report. It is worth to note that Amnesty's report strongly condemn the invasion and does indicate that Russia committed war crimes.
