Amnesty International Expose Ukrainian Military War Crimes
Manny:
Exactly as Russia has been saying all along:
--- Quote ---Agnès Callamard, Amnesty International’s Secretary General, said:
“We have documented a pattern of Ukrainian forces putting civilians at risk and violating the laws of war when they operate in populated areas.
“Being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law.
“Militaries should never use hospitals to engage in warfare and should only use schools or civilian homes as a last resort when there are no viable alternatives.
“The Ukrainian government should immediately ensure that it locates its forces away from populated areas or should evacuate civilians from areas where the military is operating.”

Many pundits are suggesting that this is the start of the US throwing Ukraine under the bus as they have now realised Russia wont be defeated in Ukraine.
Here is such an opinion with explanation from a thinking bloke.

I wonder when the media will start to mention the indiscriminate targetting of civilians in Donetsk with petal bombs. Also a war crime.

one article by the amnesty people (manipulative media) condemning Ukraine and you all forgot all the previous articles they published condemning Russia :ROFL: let's just pull up the media that fits all our individual narratives.
and that 'thinking' bloke, referencing the amnesty article, figures out from that one article, the U.S. is throwing Ukraine under the bus. do you think that he could be any more wishful? did any one actually read his article, or any of his previous ones? or does it matter to any of you, as long as it fits your wishful narrative?
how about this article?
https://www.zenger.news/2022/08/03/ukraine-accuses-russia-of-scattering-mines-in-donetsk-in-propaganda-move/
But Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol Vadym Boychenko, has accused the Russians and pro-Russian forces of scattering the mines themselves so that they can then accuse Ukraine of the deed before demining the streets of Donetsk.
Andryushchenko said (in Ukrainian): “Russian occupiers and collaborators continue to kill their own population. All week, Russian propagandists have been pushing the agenda of shelling Donetsk with ‘Lepestok’ anti-personnel mines.
“It’s as if the Ukrainian army is doing it (it’s unclear why). Despite the fact that such mines are prohibited by international conventions and are not in service with the [Ukrainian] Armed Forces. However, they have constantly been used by the Russian army throughout the war since 2014.
who to believe?
which fits the narrative that someone wants to spout?
and lest we forget, the Morning Star newspaper, a socialist rag of the first order. comical
wasn't there one article that was purporting the NATO 155mm artillery were shelling cities...someone found some "distinctive" shell fragments....really???
guys (gals) find some actual unbiased information

1st...I believe there are petal mines. is that Donetsk? any one here on the forum from there can verify? I am inclined to believe that it is Donetsk, but would still like to have it verified by someone I think I can trust. you Danchik, if you could verify, would be good enough for me.
2nd...what made the women there the expert on artillery? how does she know where it came from? is she from Donetsk? perhaps she has Donetsk accent?

Eva Bartlett is on the ground in Donetsk.
Here's something else not discussed. Zelensky essentially sold 17m hectares (30%) of Ukraine's farmland to US corporations, Monsanto, etc.
https://infobrics.org/post/36302/
Was Russia going to sit idly by as Ukraine gets sold to the US? Now the picture is starting to emerge why the US has thrown the kitchen sink at Ukraine.
A German paper this weekend has done a big expose of Zelensky's corruption, offshore companies and general grift.
They're pulling the rug out from under him. I predict he'll stand trial in Russia unless the US allows him to escape.
