Anger in Kiev after Amnesty International’s accusations that it endangers civilians

by

“I am as outraged as you are by the Amnesty International report. I consider it ‘unfair,'” Kouleba commented in a video he posted on Facebook.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said today he was “outraged” by “unjust” accusations by Amnesty International, which accused Kyiv of endangering civilians in its war with Moscow.

“I am as outraged as you are by the Amnesty International report. I consider it ‘unfair,'” Kouleba commented in a video he posted on Facebook.

In the report, published today after a four-month investigation, the NGO accused the Ukrainian military of setting up military bases inside schools and hospitals and launching attacks from residential areas, a tactic that violates international humanitarian law.

Kuleba in turn accused Amnesty International of “wrong balance between the oppressor and the victim, between the country that destroys thousands of civilians, cities, territories and the country that desperately resists”.

“Stop creating this false reality where the whole world is a little bit guilty of something and start systematically reporting the truth about what Russia really stands for today,” he added.

A little earlier, the adviser to the Ukrainian presidency Mykhailo Podoliak had declared that “people’s lives” are “the priority” and that the inhabitants of the cities located near the front were removed from their homes.

Podoliak accused Amnesty International of engaging in a “campaign of disinformation and propaganda” catering to the Kremlin’s claims.
