No nyt on kyllä käsittämätön tulkinta ihmisoikeusjärjestöltä. Eiköhän niitä tukikohtia perusteta asutulle alueelle siksi, että suojellaan niitä siviileitä vihollisen terrorismiin rinnastettavalta sodankäynniltä? Sieltä löytyy aika lailla runsaasti varoittavia esimerkkejä, miten venäläiset kohtelevat siviileitä miehittämillään alueilla... Siinä on pieni rikos perustaa tukikohta "väärään paikkaan".
Toivottavasti tämä uutinen lähtee nyt leviämään mediassa. Nyt olisi aika monella kuukausilahjoittajalla paikka pohtia, että mihin rahojaan kantaa. Tuolla lausunnolla Amnesty osoittaa, että se ei tue ukrainalaisten ihmisoikeuksia.
Ukraine: Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians
Ukrainian forces have put civilians in harm’s way by establishing bases and operating weapons systems in populated residential areas, including in schools and hospitals, as they repelled the Russian invasion that began in February, Amnesty International said today. Such tactics violate...

Amnesty sanoo raporttinsa alussa:
- Such violations in no way justify Russia’s indiscriminate attacks, which have killed and injured countless civilians
Between April and July, Amnesty International researchers spent several weeks investigating Russian strikes in the Kharkiv, Donbas and Mykolaiv regions. The organization inspected strike sites; interviewed survivors, witnesses and relatives of victims of attacks; and carried out remote-sensing and weapons analysis.
Throughout these investigations, researchers 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 the regions. The organization’s Crisis Evidence Lab has analyzed satellite imagery to further corroborate some of these incidents.
Most residential areas where soldiers located themselves were kilometres away from front lines. Viable alternatives were available that would not endanger civilians – such as military bases or densely wooded areas nearby, or other structures further away from residential areas. In the cases it documented, Amnesty International is not aware that the Ukrainian military who located themselves in civilian structures in residential areas asked or assisted civilians to evacuate nearby buildings – a failure to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians.
Eli ukrainalaiset sotilaat ovat asettuneet tiloihin jotka ovat asutuskeskuksissa sen sijaan että valitsisivat jotain muita paikkoja kuten sotilastukikohtia, tai metsiä. Koska sotilaita varusteineen on asutuskeskuksissa venäläiset kohdistavat tulitusta enemmän asutuskeskuksiin ja sitten tulee enemmän sivullisia uhreja.
Amnesty International researchers witnessed Ukrainian forces using hospitals as de facto military bases in five locations. In two towns, dozens of soldiers were resting, milling about, and eating meals in hospitals. In another town, soldiers were firing from near the hospital.
A Russian air strike on 28 April injured two employees at a medical laboratory in a suburb of Kharkiv after Ukrainian forces had set up a base in the compound.
Using hospitals for military purposes is a clear violation of international humanitarian law.
En tiedä eikö sotilailla ole muuta mahdollisuutta kuin käyttää sairaaloita ja kouluja tukikohtinaan, mutta niissä oleskelu tuo turhaan venäläisten kiinnostusta alueelle.In a town east of Odesa, Amnesty International witnessed a broad pattern of Ukrainian soldiers using civilian areas for lodging and as staging areas, including basing armoured vehicles under trees in purely residential neighbourhoods, and using two schools located in densely populated residential areas. Russian strikes near the schools killed and injured several civilians between April and late June – including a child and an older woman killed in a rocket attack on their home on 28 June.
Ja joo nyt Amnesty on julkaissut yhden negatiivisen uutisen/raportin Ukrainan asevoimien toiminnasta. Siellä on myös kymmenittäin uutisia siitä kuinka venäläiset syyllistyvät jatkuvasti sotarikoksiin pommituksillaan, raiskauksillaan, kidutuksilla, antamillaan tuomioilla ja muilla.
Otetaan vielä raportin lopusta:
The Ukrainian military’s practice of locating military objectives within populated areas does not in any way justify indiscriminate Russian attacks. All parties to a conflict must at all times distinguish between military objectives and civilian objects and take all feasible precautions, including in choice of weapons, to minimize civilian harm. Indiscriminate attacks which kill or injure civilians or damage civilian objects are war crimes.
