The Ukrainian president himself is hurled against the humanitarian association after their latest report published yesterday, 4 August. Here both the army of Fly than that of Kiev for endangering civilians and thereby violating international humanitarian law. But Zelensky doesn’t fit. «Today we have seen a relationship that unfortunately tries to to amnesty the terrorist state and to shift the responsibility from the aggressor to the victimHe said in a video message accusing Amnesty of equating oppressed and oppressor.

If some data about the victim is analyzed and what the attacker was doing at the time is ignored, this cannot be tolerated. There is no condition, not even a hypothetical one, for any Russian attack on Ukraine to become justified. If you post such manipulative relationshipsso you must share with them the responsibility for the death of people.
