Ukrainian forces have been accused by Amnesty International of endangering civilians by basing themselves in residential buildings, schools, and hospitals, sparking a strong response from Kyiv.
Amnesty International Secretary-General Agnes Callamard said the group’s researchers documented “a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas” as it released its report on August. 4.
The report, which the Kremlin and Russian media have already quoted extensively, is an attempt to “shift responsibility from the aggressor to the victim,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.
