International amnesty… for Putin? As in Ukraine responded to the scandalous report of Amnesty International with the prosecution of the Armed Forces

Ukrainian politicians, diplomats and bloggers have almost unanimously condemned the AI ​​conclusions; The authors of the report are accused of conscious or unconscious in Russian propaganda. NV gathered key theses of the report and a reaction from Kiev to it.

The report begins with the fall against the Armed Forces of Ukraine: “Ukrainian troops have threatened the civilian population, creating bases and posting weapons in inhabited residential areas, in particular in schools and hospitals, during the reflection of the Russian invasion, which began in February. Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and jeopardize the civilian population as it turns civilian objects into military purposes.

” "Staying in defense does not release the Ukrainian military from compliance with international humanitarian law," said AI AI AIEES Kallarmar. Further, in fact, it is explained how researchers of the Laboratory of Crisis Evidence AI came to the conclusions about the blame of the Armed Forces in the death of peaceful people and damage to their property.

The organization checked the places of Russian blows in the Donbass, in the Nikolaev and Kharkiv regions, interviewed those who survived, witnesses and relatives of victims of attacks. A whole section of the report is devoted to the stories of civilian Ukrainians. So, the mother of a 50-year-old man who was killed during a rocket attack on June 10 in a village south of Nikolaev, said that her son often attributed food to soldiers who were apartments nearby.

He died in the yard of his own yard, but in the next home, Amnesty International researchers found military equipment and form. Another witness, Nicholas from the Rounted Russians Lisichansk, expressed such a judgment on which human rights activists are based: "I do not understand why our military shoots from cities, not from the field. " Anna from the Donetsk region told how on May 6 Russian cassette ammunition damaged her house, where she lives with her son and 95-year-old mother.

According to the woman, Ukrainian artillery stood near her garden. However, the next phrase, the woman actually refutes Amnesty that Ukraine had to evacuate all civilians if she decided to keep defense in cities. "My mom is paralyzed, so I couldn't escape," Anna explained. The same argument was made by Catherine of Bakhmut, who survived the rocket strike on May 18. “I stayed here because my mom didn't want to go. She has health problems.

” But for human rights activists, it is more important that the Ukrainian troops used the building opposite the divided, and two military trucks were parked in front of another house in the Bakhmut area. Separately, AI draws attention to the facts of the Ukrainian soldiers in schools, near farms, in hospitals ("In two cities, dozens of fighters rested, rolled and eaten in hospitals, one at the hospital").

This, according to the researchers, is a flashy violation of the rules of international humanitarian law, because it was there that the Russians could target.

At the end of the document, Amnesty International notes that the aggressor uses non -selective weapons, including the prohibited at the international level with cassette ammunition, and the conclusion is made: "The practice of Ukrainian military in the deployment of military facilities in settlements in no way justifies non -selective attacks. " Amnesty writes that they have sent their research to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on July 29, but there was no answer.

But this answer was not delayed after publishing the report on the AI ​​site. Minister Alexei Reznikov assures in his Facebook that he will not allow our army to "fond of our army. " “Any attempts to question the right of Ukrainians to resist genocide, to protect their families and homes, to protect their lives and the lives of their children, to resist the actions of Russia as a terrorist state-a perversion that would not be masked by legal constructions.

Any attempts to even briefly equalize Russian aggression and Ukrainian self-defense, as done in Amnesty International, is a testament to the loss of adequacy and a way to destroy his authority, ”Reznikov said. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba does not hide indignation. “I understand that in response to criticism, Amnesty International will say - so we criticize both sides of the conflict. But let's make a clear agreement on understanding simple things.

This behavior of Amnesty International is not about finding and communicating the world of truth. It is about creating a false balance between the criminal and the victim. Between a country that is destroying a civilian population. And the country that is desperately protected, rescuing their people, saving the continent from this invasion, " - he commented, calling on human rights defenders not to" engage in the creation of false reality.

" The Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security believe that the accusations from Amnesty International do not have any benefit to the Armed Forces, but "only play the Russian Federation, which seeks to weaken Western assistance to Ukraine.

" The threat to peaceful Ukrainians is not the Ukrainian army, but the Russian military, whose accounts for many of the most violent war crimes and genocide, wrote on Twitter the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak. “Today, Russia 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 is a pity that an organization such as Amnesty International is involved in this misinformation and propaganda campaign, ”he said. Among the bloggers and commentators in Ukraine, they would not find those who would agree with the conclusions of the international human rights structure.

An expert, Advisor to the Minister of Defense Alexei Kopitko, wrote about it with irony: "AI range of assessments - from left -wing givnoids to useful idiots - demonstrates pluralism, freedom of thought and at the same time a high level of unanimity of Ukrainian society on this issue. " He believes that the material of Amnesty International is "completely put into the West Deviation" - Ukrainians should seem, then everyone will be fine.

“In many institutions, this lacobis is a fundamental basis of all work. There are some rules that the aggressor does not follow. Defiantly. At the same time, the victim of aggression requires strict execution of all letters without taking into account the context. What in practice means suicide. Well, you do nothing here, they say dear organizations. Yes, the aggressor sends us, we cannot influence it. So we will itch you.

So when do you kill yourself? Do you give up? Then you are guilty of everything! ” - said Kopitko. Amnesty International was still noticed in the attempt in no way to offend Moscow, said Sergei Sidorenko of European Truth. “But now they have put a very high bar even at their level. Not so strange, but disgusting. However, the problem is that these scums listen and believe them (as it does not sound wildly) all sorts of governments and other pacifists in the West.

This is the reality with which Ukraine, our Foreign Ministry, etc. We have to work, ”the journalist emphasized. “It is the feeling that AI's goal is to achieve international amnesty for one person - Vladimir Putin. She has not left other tasks at all, ” - said international observer Ivan Yakovina. The editor -in -chief of Public Radio Tatiana Troshchinskaya is surprised that organizations such as Amnesty International still exist as they are now.

“In the very nature of these wild reports and monitoring of both parties, the bug is laid. They proceed from the fact that the war can occur in some enclosed barbed wire of the zoo, where the soldiers of both sides of the conflict kill each other. And civilians on both sides of the conflict "dance in a peaceful garden under the blue sky. At least I think that cinema is scrolling in the head of Amnesty International Anges Callarm, ”she wrote on social networks.

In her opinion, there will be fewer wars in the world, when the Red Cross, the UN, Amnesty International and a "bunch of other helpless international institutions" will stop writing absurd reports and reconciling the rapist and the victim. Blogger Anton Khodza sarcastically proposes the Ukrainian authorities to act as Amnesty proposes: “The General Staff must form a supervisory board of representatives of human rights organizations, which should examine all the command plans of command.

Zaluzhny submits detailed maps, plans, orders, and international experts are carefully examined for compliance with the human right. And during the month they give a conclusion - it is possible to fight or not. Maximum transparency and democracy. Representatives of the Russian Federation should also enter the Council, because this also applies to them. ” Many commentators were waiting for the Amnesty International Ukrainian Office to criticize.

It appeared on the site, however, a scandalous report and no references to the Armed Forces. It is noted that since February 24, the researchers of the organization have documented dozens of war crimes and proved that they were committed by Russian military.
