The general secretary of the organization, Agnes Kallamaree, believes that the public dissatisfaction with the statements in their material about the Armed Forces of Ukraine is allegedly an “attack of Ukrainian trolls.”
Public criticism of the Amnesty International report, which accused the Ukrainian Armed Forces of “setting up positions in schools and hospitals,” was allegedly “an attack by Ukrainian trolls.” About that stated Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Callamard Twitter on Thursday 4 August.
“Ukrainian and Russian mobs (slang for a group of people – ed.) and trolls (slang for an Internet provocateur – ed.): they are all attacking Amnesty International’s investigation today. This is called war propaganda, disinformation. This will not undermine our impartiality and will not change the facts,” he said.
The material of the organization spoke about the “placement of firing positions” by the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly directly near residential areas.
The human rights activists themselves referred in their report to unnamed residents of Donetsk, Nikolaev and Kharkiv regions, who allegedly suffered from Russian strikes as a result of the proximity of the Ukrainian military.
Note that the authors of the material called the war a “conflict.” At the same time, Russian attacks are not directly mentioned here.
Human rights activists Amnesty International advised the military to be “placed in the fields” and not near civilian homes to repel enemy attacks.
Recall that Amnesty International published a report stating that the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly violate the laws of war by “endangering the lives of the population by placing military equipment and weapons in schools and hospitals.”
The President’s Office responded to the organization’s accusations by saying that only the Russian Federation threatens the lives of Ukrainians, and Amnesty International’s statements are “participating in Russia’s campaign against Ukraine.”
In this regard, Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Amnesty International “creates a false balance between the victim and the perpetrator” with its material.
