Antagonism Over Ukraine Conflict

On Tuesday, Dai Bing, China's deputy permanent representative to the United Nations (UN), warned that antagonism within the international community over the conflict in Ukraine is disrupting UN work

"For some while, with the conflict in Ukraine unraveling, antagonism has been permeating the international community, seriously disrupting the work of the United Nations in various fields, and calling into question the authority and effectiveness of the Security Council," said Dai.

Such a political climate is not conducive to the proper settlement of the Ukraine crisis, and may lead to the failure of global governance mechanisms, plunging the world into greater division and turmoil, which is not in the interests of any party, he told a Security Council meeting on Ukraine with the theme of "incitement to violence leading to atrocity crimes."

Hate speech between countries can poison the international political climate to the detriment of world peace and stability, he warned, adding that "we must substitute dialogue for confrontation, consultation for coercion, partnership for alliances, and win-win for zero-sum."

The Security Council, in particular, should shoulder its responsibilities, manage differences, and be an active force for the facilitation of peace talks, mediation, and good offices, he said.

Sending in more lethal weapons will only fuel animosity, exacerbate conflicts, trigger a wider humanitarian crisis, and claim more innocent lives, said Dai.

Prolonged and enlarged conflicts will bring greater security risks and spillover effects, from which no party can benefit. The international community should work together to de-escalate the situation, put out the fire, and facilitate peace talks, thus creating conditions for the parties to resume negotiations and achieve a cease-fire without further delay, Dai said.

    "We advice certain countries not to continue adding fuel to the fire to serve their own geopolitical self-interest, not to mention force other countries to take sides, thereby intensifying division and antagonism within the international community."
Social media must never become a lawless space for spreading hatred and inciting violence. Certain social media platforms have adapted their policies for political ends, allowing one-way hate speech. Such a practice is extremely dangerous. It is imperative to strengthen government oversight of social media platforms. They should not be given a free rein, he said.

The Ukrainian conflict has lasted for nearly four months. The rising casualties and displacements are heart-wrenching. The circumstances and causes of violations of international humanitarian law must be ascertained. Any allegations should be based on facts. Pending the final findings, all parties should avoid unwarranted accusations, Dai stated.

US and UK Do Not Allow Peace Talks

The Russian Foreign Minister said during an interview that while European countries urge Kiev to resume peace dialogues with Moscow, "the Anglo-Saxons" - referring to the United States and the United Kingdom - prevent it from doing so. So, he expressed skepticism about a possible return of Ukraine to peace negotiations

"Currently, I do not see any possibility for Ukraine to propose [negotiations], we are not going to propose anything. We proposed everything a long time ago. The ball is on their court. I don't see any possibility that [the Ukrainians] will be allowed to return to negotiations," Lavrov said Thursday in an interview with the Belarusian National State Radio and Television Company.

The Russian FM said, however, that whenever Ukraine decided to return to negotiations, Russia would study the situation "on the ground", specifying that it would take into account the refusal of some regions of the Slavic country, liberated by Russian forces, to return to the control of a pro-Nazi government.

Since the beginning of the Russian military operation in Ukraine at the end of February, the Ukrainian and Russian delegations have held several rounds of talks. The parties reached an agreement in talks held on March 29 in Turkey. However, Putin announced last Tuesday that Kiev went back on its agreement, so the peace process has entered a dead end.

    Remember it was the Kiev government going back on the Minsk agreement, Minsk 2 and constant attacks on the Donbass region, that has caused the current situation

    We must NOT forget NATO and the US breaking their agreement not to move any closer to Russian borders
The Russian authorities have assured since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine that it does not seek the occupation of Ukrainian territory, but the “demilitarization” and "denazification" of the country and to prevent the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), led by the United States, from turning Ukraine into an anti-Russian base.

They have also stressed that they will only stop their operations if Kiev accepts their main conditions, including recognition of Russian sovereignty over Crimea, demilitarization of the Ukrainian state, Ukraine's neutral status and renunciation of the desire to join NATO.

Kiev is still trying to wipe out the Russian language and culture in Ukraine, including the banning of Russian Books and Music

Recently the Pro Nazi Ukrainian government in Kiev has illegally banned the non-Nazi opposition party and it's legally elected MPs

Syria Recognizes Donbass

On Wednesday, Syria's Foreign Affairs Ministry announced that its country recognizes the sovereignty of Lugansk and Donetsk People's Republics, which are located in the Donbas

Syria decided to recognize the independence and sovereignty of Luhansk and Donetsk "embodying the common will and desire to establish relations in all fields."

The Syrian Foreign Ministry will contact the authorities of each of the self-proclaimed Russian-speaking republics to formalize the establishment of diplomatic relations in accordance with established international standards.

The Syrian recognition of the republics located in the Donbass region constitutes a step to facilitate the formation of states that have their own distinctive histories and cultures.

    Social organizations, environmentalist collectives, anarchists & people against imperialist wars march together this weekend in the streets of Madrid to shout “No to NATO!” One banner reads, “Military: Death & profit .”✊������:@festivalesgt #NoToNATO pic.twitter.com/exTPXfKpwd
    — Voices in Movement (@VIM_Media) June 29, 2022
In the light of international law, the unilateral action of a State that recognizes another as its equal is a legitimate action. In this case, it will make it possible to make viable the aspirations of those who inhabit the territory attacked by Ukraine.

On February 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized the independence of the self-proclaimed republics of Lugansk and Donetsk after approval by the Security Council.

Three days later, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine aimed at the demilitarization and denazification in the Donbas region

Russian, LPR now control Lysychansk

The allied Russian and LPR forces have taken the city of Lysychansk, and they now have full control of the strategic city, a Sputnik correspondent reported on Saturday, following weeks of fighting over the key region

As they were leaving the city, the Ukrainian militants who had just lost their last stronghold in the Lugansk People's Republic blew up and destroyed some of the important administrative buildings, including the mayor's office,

Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Marochko of the LPR forces earlier Saturday said the Ukrainian military still had some centers of resistance in the city, though they had no significance.

The cities of Severodonetsk and Lysychansk, separated by a river, were the final sections of Lugansk still under Ukrainian control. With the allies' liberation of both cities, the Lugansk People's Republic is fully under the control of the LPR and Russian forces.

Severodonetsk is home to the Azot chemical plant, where the Russian armed forces had hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers holed up for weeks in light of the confrontations in the area. The plant also had up to 500 civilians who had been hiding from shelling in its bomb shelter, and despite the site having more civilians than Ukrainian soldiers, they were concentrated in other parts of Azot.

The Russian armed forces liberated Zolotarivka, the Russian Defense Ministry said on Saturday, and all that was left was Bilogorivka, which is six kilometers away from the then-surrounded city of Lysychansk.

"Over the past three days, [the Russian Armed Forces] have taken control of the oil rig in Lysychansk, the Matrosskaya mine, and the village of Topolivka," the ministry said.

The head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, said Lysychansk was completely surrounded by the allied forces of Russia and the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR).

"The plan to liberate Lysychansk from the Ukrainian invaders, which was developed by officers, is being executed without adjustments. In the near future, the city will be fully liberated from the Bandera Nazis," he added. "A full-scale attack on the city would soon begin," Kadyrov noted.

"More than 2,000 Nazis from Kiev's forces and foreign mercenaries are holed up in Lysychansk, their last stronghold in Lugansk," LPR deputy interior minister Vitaly Kiselev said.

Russian Defense Ministry spokesperson Igor Konashenkov told reporters that three battalions stationed near Lysychansk lost over 50% of their troops in one day of combat.

Ukraine guns in criminals hands

The EU expresses concern about weapons smuggled out of Ukraine and ending up in the hands of criminal gangs in Europe

The EU is creating a hub in Moldova to battle organized crime, particularly arms smuggling from neighboring Ukraine, an official said Monday.

EU home affairs commissioner Ylva Johansson announced the EU Support Hub for Internal Security and Border Management at a meeting of EU interior ministers which was expanded to include counterparts from non-EU countries Ukraine and Moldova.

The meeting in Prague focused on the threat of weapons - many of which are supplied by the West - being smuggled out of Ukraine to equip crime gangs in Europe.

"By experience from the previous war in former Yugoslavia, we still have problems with firearms being trafficked from there to the organized criminal groups, feeding into violence in the criminal networks in European Union," Johansson indicated on arrival.

The commissioner mentioned that the hub will be a "one-stop shop" allowing Europol to share information and for the EU's border guard agency Frontex to support border management and detection of firearms trafficking.

It will also aim to counter the trafficking of human beings.

Swedish Migration Minister Anders Ygeman claimed that most of the weapons supplied to Ukraine were staying in the hands of the Ukrainian military, and "just a limited number of those weapons used in the war that can actually be used by organized crime later on."

But "we have to have measures of controlling weapons flow after the war in Ukraine," he said.

The interim head of Frontex, Aija Kalnaja, pointed out that Moldova was chosen for the hub "because this is where the trafficking of weapons can come mostly."

The Guardian reported in June that Interpol Secretary-General Jurgen Stock asserted that weapons provided to Ukraine will reach a global hidden economy and criminals after the war ends, calling on Interpol member states to work in cooperation on finding arms.

Stock said criminal groups try to exploit the "chaotic situations", warning from the resulting challenges.ls weapons on black market due to limited ability to use.

It is noteworthy that a couple of days ago, former senior Pentagon advisor Karen Kwiatkowski told Sputnik that Ukraine is selling weapons it acquired from the West on the black market due to the Kiev forces' limited ability to use them because of their lack of training, logistical challenges, and the diminishing size of the Ukrainian armed forces.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu had previously said the arms supplied by the West to Ukraine were ending up on the black market and spreading across West Asia.

The statements by Moscow and the Pentagon are not just claims, as Kiev itself backed them by admitting that foreign aid meant for Ukraine was already being sold.

Ukraine's Bureau of Economic Security Director Vadym Melnyk told Ukraine 24 that the agency had identified repeated cases of the sale of Western military and humanitarian aid.

Similarly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov had pointed out that Stingers and Javelin missiles, supplied by the West to Kiev, were already being sold at a discount on the black market and have surfaced in Albania and Kosovo, which Russia has warned from for so long.

Ukraine has received billions and billions of dollars in donated arms from the United States and its allies such as the United Kingdom and other NATO states in the past few months. The Biden administration alone, as of July 1, has committed nearly $7 billion, the US State Department said last week.

Just last Thursday, the White House announced that the United States was sending a new batch of military supplies to Ukraine. The new batch of arms supply is worth $450 million in shipments.

Europe damaged itself with Russian sanctions

The European Union has "shot itself in the lungs" with imprudent economic sanctions on Russia, which risk destroying the European economy if not rolled back, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said on Friday

Since the start of the war in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions by the West, gas supplies to Europe have tightened and fuel costs have increased, leaving countries scrabbling to refill storage and look for other supply channels.

The surge in prices pushed Orban on Wednesday to curtail a years-long cap on utility prices for higher-usage households, removing one of the prime minister's signature economic policies.

"Initially, I thought we had only shot ourselves in the foot, but now it is clear that the European economy has shot itself in the lungs, and it is gasping for air," Orban told public radio in an interview.

The prime minister said European leaders should rethink their strategy, due to the widespread damage caused to the European economy.

"The sanctions do not help Ukraine, however, they are bad for the European economy and if it goes on like this, they will kill off the European economy," he said. "What we see right now is unbearable."

"The moment of truth must come in Brussels when leaders admit they have made a miscalculation, that the sanctions policy was based on wrong assumptions and it must be changed."

Re-elected in April, Orban said that without Wednesday's curbs, which would lead to a rise in energy costs for households consuming energy, the entire utility price cap regime would have to be scrapped.

US weapons in deadly strike

Commenting on the Ukrainian strike, a senior Russian diplomat says that the delivery of US-made heavy weaponry to Kiev enabled the deadly shelling of the city of Nova Kakhovka in southern Ukraine

A Ukrainian strike was carried out on Nova Kakhovka in Kherson, on Monday night, causing explosions at warehouses with saltpeter, leading to several civilian deaths and tens of injuries.

According to the military-civilian administration at Nova Kakhovka, the Ukrainian strike carried out in the city was done using multiple rocket launchers HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) supplied by the United States.

Local authorities have also affirmed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky personally gave the order to target the city.

The city's administration chief, Vladimir Leontyev, reported Tuesday that seven people were killed and up to 70 were injured.

    — Francesco Comito (@FrancescComito) July 11, 2022
He previously stated that the shelling caused a fertilizer storage warehouse to detonate and that multiple houses, as well as other civilian sites such as a market and a hospital, were damaged.

Furthermore, Leontyev compared the strike to the 2020 Beirut port blast, in which and nitrate ammonium exploded.

It is worth noting that additional ammunition for the High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), that the US administration had previously promised to Ukraine, is also part of the latest military supply package.

The HIMARS constitute the centerpiece of a $700 million military aid package that was unveiled on June 1, which includes "Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger antiaircraft missiles, powerful artillery and precision rocket systems, radars, unmanned aerial vehicles, Mi-17 helicopters and ammunition," Biden said in his op-ed published in The New York Times.

“Pure Nazism”

Commenting on the Ukrainian strike, a senior Russian diplomat said Tuesday that the delivery of US-made heavy weaponry to Kiev enabled the deadly shelling of the city of Nova Kakhovka in southern Ukraine.

The deputy head of Russia’s mission to the UN Dmitry Polyansky said, as quoted by RIA Novosti, that “such strikes on civilian sites can only draw resolute condemnation. It is a direct consequence of the delivery of weapons by the [United] States to Kiev.”

On his account, the deputy head of the Kherson regional military-civil administration Kirill Stremousov has called the Ukrainian attack on Nova Kakhovka a "terror tactic" and "pure Nazism."

The United States provided heavy weaponry which enabled the deadly shelling of the city of Nova Kakhovka. However, Washington’s role did not end at this point. The US commercial satellite Worldview-2 reportedly photographed the town of Nova Kakhovka in the Kherson Region just three days before Ukraine attacked it.

What are the odds: the US satellite took pictures on Friday, and Nova Kakhovka was hit on Monday night.

The precision strike caused a massive explosion, killing at least seven people and injuring about 70 others, with the death toll expected to rise as the rubble is cleared.

Commercial satellites from the US have a track record of photographing areas a few days before Ukraine targets them with airstrikes.

This was also evident prior to the attacks on the Russian city of Belgorod, an oil refinery in the Rostov Region, Zmiinyi Island, not to mention the Black Sea area with drilling platforms.

Head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin said, as quoted by Sputnik last June, that Kiev was using data provided to NATO by private Western satellite operators, including the US space company Maxar Technologies, which allegedly works with the Pentagon.

Moscow had sent a formal diplomatic note to the United States warning that Washington and Brussels' arms shipments were adding fuel to the fire of the war in Ukraine, stressing that this matter could bring upon "unpredictable consequences".

Ukraine shells prison holding POWs

Dozens of people were killed after Ukrainian forces attacked a prison containing POWs in Donbass.

Donetsk People's Republic Deputy Information Minister Daniil Bezsonov tweeted on his Telegram channel that the Ukrainian military shelled a prison housing POWs in Yelenovka early Friday morning.

“There was a direct hit at a building with prisoners,” Bezsonov wrote. “The results as of now: 40 killed, 130 wounded.”

The minister went on to say that he believes Kiev employed HIMARS multiple rocket launchers supplied by the US for the attack.

According to reports, the facility housed Ukrainian fighters seized by Russian and coalition forces during the siege of the Azovstal steel factory in Mariupol.

The bombardment occurred as Russian and DPR troops attempted to push Ukrainian troops out of the republic's western territories.

The DPR has repeatedly accused Ukraine of shelling Donetsk and other locations with HIMARS. Authorities stated on Sunday that the Ukrainian military had attacked an oil plant in Donetsk.

Earlier this month, three activists of the Molodaya Respublika organization were killed on July 10, and 11 were injured by the shelling of the Ukrainian armed forces against the Shakhtyorsky district in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR), according to DPR head Denis Pushilin.

"This morning, the Ukrainian militants fired at the Shakhtyorsky district, where activists of the Molodaya Respublika were on a volunteer mission. As a result, 11 people were injured, and three were killed. Search work is underway for four people," Pushilin wrote on Telegram.

Donetsk clearing Ukrainian mines

Central Donetsk is undergoing some mine clearance works, according to the TASS news agency. Russian bomb specialists and rescuers from Donetsk are using specialized Uran-6 robots to carry out the mission

According to earlier reports, Ukrainian troops used prohibited anti-personnel mines of the Lepestok type against civilian targets. The mines were scattered across central streets in the city by means of rockets with cluster warheads.

One rescuer from the DPR was wounded, according to Alexey Kulemzin, the city's mayor.

On Saturday, the speaker of the DPR's legislature, Vladimir Bidyovka, condemned the use of the mines in Ukraine as an act of terrorism.

Bidyovka recalled that using such mines without a self-destructing mechanism was prohibited by the Geneva Convention of 1996 - Russia has removed such mines from its operational use whereas Ukraine continues to use them.

Yesterday, Saturday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that his government was ordering the mandatory evacuation of people who were still in eastern Donetsk after which Kiev began its shelling campaign in the region.

Yesterday, the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Territorial Defense Headquarters reported the death of eight people and the injury of 15 after Kiev's forces shelled the city of Donetsk.

"Over the past 24 hours, from 08:00 on July 29 to 08:00 on July 30, eight people were killed and 15 more civilians were wounded as a result of shelling by the AFU [armed formations of Ukraine] on the territory of the Donetsk People's Republic," the DPR headquarters said on Telegram.

In the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian forces shelled the Donetsk People's Republic 75 times, firing 632 shells, 15 of which targeted the city of Donetsk, according to the DNR mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime.

The Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant (HPP) in the Kherson region was also shelled by the Ukrainian forces using the HIMARS missile system, the head of the city's military-civilian administration, Vladimir Leontyev, said on Saturday. However, he added, the strike was repelled and did not affect the HPP's operation.

Amnesty International on Ukraine

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.

Launching strikes from populated civilian areas

Survivors and witnesses of Russian strikes in the Donbas, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions told Amnesty International researchers that the Ukrainian military had been operating near their homes around the time of the strikes, exposing the areas to retaliatory fire from Russian forces. Amnesty International researchers witnessed such conduct in numerous locations.

International humanitarian law requires all parties to a conflict to avoid locating, to the maximum extent feasible, military objectives within or near densely populated areas. Other obligations to protect civilians from the effects of attacks include removing civilians from the vicinity of military objectives and giving effective warning of attacks that may affect the civilian population.

The mother of a 50-year-old man killed in a rocket attack on 10 June in a village south of Mykolaiv told Amnesty International: “The military were staying in a house next to our home and my son often took food to the soldiers. I begged him several times to stay away from there because I was afraid for his safety. That afternoon, when the strike happened, my son was in the courtyard of our home and I was in the house. He was killed on the spot. His body was ripped to shreds. Our home was partially destroyed.” Amnesty International researchers found military equipment and uniforms at the house next door.

Mykola, who lives in a tower block in a neighbourhood of Lysychansk (Donbas) that was repeatedly struck by Russian attacks which killed at least one older man, told Amnesty International: “I don’t understand why our military is firing from the cities and not from the field.”

Another resident, a 50-year-old man, said: “There is definitely military activity in the neighbourhood. When there is outgoing fire, we hear incoming fire afterwards.” Amnesty International researchers witnessed soldiers using a residential building some 20 metres from the entrance of the underground shelter used by the residents where the older man was killed.

In one town in Donbas on 6 May, Russian forces used widely banned and inherently indiscriminate cluster munitions over a neighbourhood of mostly single or two-storey homes where Ukrainian forces were operating artillery. Shrapnel damaged the walls of the house where Anna, 70, lives with her son and 95-year-old mother.

Anna said: “Shrapnel flew through the doors. I was inside. The Ukrainian artillery was near my field… The soldiers were behind the field, behind the house… I saw them coming in and out… since the war started… My mother is… paralyzed, so I couldn’t flee.”

In early July, a farm worker was injured when Russian forces struck an agricultural warehouse in the Mykolaiv area. Hours after the strike, Amnesty International researchers witnessed the presence of Ukrainian military personnel and vehicles in the grain storage area, and witnesses confirmed that the military had been using the warehouse, located across the road from a farm where civilians are living and working.

While Amnesty International researchers were examining damage to residential and adjacent public buildings in Kharkiv and in villages in Donbas and east of Mykolaiv, they heard outgoing fire from Ukrainian military positions nearby.

In Bakhmut, several residents told Amnesty International that the Ukrainian military had been using a building barely 20 metres across the street from a residential high-rise building. On 18 May, a Russian missile struck the front of the building, partly destroying five apartments and damaging nearby buildings.

Kateryna, a resident who survived the strike, said: “I didn’t understand what happened. [There were] broken windows and a lot of dust in my home… I stayed here because my mother didn’t want to leave. She has health problems.”

Three residents told Amnesty International that before the strike, Ukrainian forces had been using a building across the street from the bombed building, and that two military trucks were parked in front of another house that was damaged when the missile hit. Amnesty International researchers found signs of military presence in and outside the building, including sandbags and black plastic sheeting covering the windows, as well as new US-made trauma first aid equipment.

“We have no say in what the military does, but we pay the price,” a resident whose home was also damaged in the strike told Amnesty International.
Military bases in hospitals

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.

Military bases in schools

The Ukrainian military has routinely set up bases in schools in towns and villages in Donbas and in the Mykolaiv area. Schools have been temporarily closed to students since the conflict began, but in most cases the buildings were located close to populated civilian neighbourhoods

At 22 out of 29 schools visited, Amnesty International researchers either found soldiers using the premises or found evidence of current or prior military activity – including the presence of military fatigues, discarded munitions, army ration packets and military vehicles.

Russian forces struck many of the schools used by Ukrainian forces. In at least three towns, after Russian bombardment of the schools, Ukrainian soldiers moved to other schools nearby, putting the surrounding neighbourhoods at risk of similar attacks.

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.

In Bakhmut, Ukrainian forces were using a university building as a base when a Russian strike hit on 21 May, reportedly killing seven soldiers. The university is adjacent to a high-rise residential building which was damaged in the strike, alongside other civilian homes roughly 50 metres away. Amnesty International researchers found the remains of a military vehicle in the courtyard of the bombed university building.

International humanitarian law does not specifically ban parties to a conflict from basing themselves in schools that are not in session. However, militaries have an obligation to avoid using schools that are near houses or apartment buildings full of civilians, putting these lives at risk, unless there is a compelling military need. If they do so, they should warn civilians and, if necessary, help them evacuate. This did not appear to have happened in the cases examined by Amnesty International.

Armed conflicts seriously hamper children’s right to education, and military use of schools can result in destruction that further deprives children of this right once the war ends. Ukraine is one of 114 countries that have endorsed the Safe Schools Declaration, an agreement to protect education amid armed conflict, which allows parties to make use of abandoned or evacuated schools only where there is no viable alternative.

Indiscriminate attacks by Russian forces

Many of the Russian strikes that Amnesty International documented in recent months were carried out with inherently indiscriminate weapons, including internationally banned cluster munitions, or with other explosive weapons with wide area effects. Others used guided weapons with varying levels of accuracy; in some cases, the weapons were precise enough to target specific objects.

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.

“The Ukrainian government should immediately ensure that it locates its forces away from populated areas, or should evacuate civilians from areas where the military is operating. Militaries should never use hospitals to engage in warfare, and should only use schools or civilian homes as a last resort when there are no viable alternatives,” said Agnès Callamard.

Amnesty International contacted the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence with the findings of the research on 29 July 2022. At the time of publication, they had not yet responded.

Just a reminder:

    It is noteworthy that the Kherson Region and most of Zaporozhye Region of Ukraine are now controlled by Russia's military as a result of the special operation that began on February 24, after the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) requested help from Russia amid intensifying attacks by Ukrainian troops.
I just think some people need reminding it was the Ukrainian Government that broke both the Minsk 1 and Minsk 2 agreements by attacking and killing thousands of innocent people in the Donbass for years and despite many international appeals for help, nobody stopped the slaughter or protected these people X(

I would also like to point out that Russia won WW2

Without Russia we would all be speaking German

Soviet forces account for 76% of Germany's military dead

Many Ukrainians supported the Nazis and helped to kill millions in WW2

Many Ukrainians are still NAZIS

The US employed many Nazi supporters after WW2
