Amnesty International Stands by Report That Ukraine Is Putting Civilians at Risk
In the initial report, which was published last week, Amnesty found that many Russian strikes were provoked by Ukrainian units firing from civilian areas. Investigators also claimed that they were using hospitals, schools, and populated residential buildings to house soldiers and military equipment and hide military vehicles. Ukrainian leaders expressed outrage over the report.
Amnesty investigators, in a statement over the weekend, said they “fully stand by our findings,” though they “regret the pain caused.”
