Amnesty Report Finds Ukraine is Using ‘Human Shields’

Amnesty Report Finds Ukraine is Using ‘Human Shields’. By Tyler Durden.

The Amnesty report said investigators had “found evidence of Ukrainian forces launching strikes from within populated residential areas, as well as basing themselves in civilian buildings in 19 towns and villages” in three war-torn regions of the country from April through July. …

The report detailed further that in 22 of 29 schools visited by an Amnesty team between April and July, investigators found evidence of prior military activity. Additionally, five instances of Ukrainian troops using hospitals as bases were documented. The report went so far as to stress Amnesty was “not aware” of instances where Ukrainian troops first tried to evacuate civilians from these locations. …

The Kremlin, meanwhile, said the report confirms what Russia has been saying for a long time.
