Amnesty International has accused Ukraine of war crimes during its ongoing military conflict with invading Russian forces. The humanitarian organization said in a release on Wednesday that the Ukrainian military's tactics "violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians" by operating weapons out of bases established in residential areas while civilians are present.

When being invaded, all bets are off............................
Lets say nothing about the Russians operating a major artillery installation inside the Zaporizhzhia reactor complex.
War is always nasty. To believe that everyone adheres to the “rule book” is pure folly.
No doubt that both Russia and Ukraine have committed war crimes. No one is innocent on the field of battle.
So. Even Amnesty Intl is full of Dirty RuZZians.
Unfortunately reactors aren’t protected by the Geneva Convention on War Crimes.
Exactly. Human rights monitors report this stuff because it’s their job. Seasoned ones know it’s just part of war in these circumstances, particularly in some parts of the world. At the same time, if the other side strikes those same civilian areas, they report that, too, but note there were military targets among the civilians.
Not necessarily, they are likely just doing their jobs. See my #8.
Working out how the White Russians will behave should they enter this war is left an an exercise for the reader.
If you can’t trust corrupt neo nazi terrorists who can you trust ?
This happened in the conflicts in former Yugoslavia in the 1990s, in the war in Libya, etc. It’s happened a lot in this war in Ukraine.
No!!!! They are innocent peace loving people who aren’t Nazis or corrupt Deep State conspirators, just defending their homeland from mean Russian invaders. I read it here.
Such laughable disinfo. Yeah, the Russians want all that radiation blowing over their troops on its way to Russia. Amnesty International, more Putin stooges, right? When you have a corrupt DC oligarch placed satrap calling the shots in Ukraine be prepared to continue making excuses for such atrocities.
Russia, in case you have missed in since Feb, does not give a democrat’s rear end about troops or radiation.
WAR violates international humanitarian law!
The link goes to MSM, not directly to Newsweek.
Send the war criminals more free money to keep the war alive
Ukraine is using their own people as human shields, and have been doing so since the start.
Guess Amnesty International is now “Putin’s Stooge!”
/S
There are no good guys here. But Russia is doing what they said they would, for years and years. NATO and the US kept poking the bear. Now Ukraine is paying for it in blood. With the DOS calling the shots.
We (the US) are not in the right on this at all. I agree with Randand Howley.
Well, that is all we need to know to know who is buttering Amnesty International’s bread !
