Amnesty International has published a report that Ukrainian troops violate the laws of war by placing military equipment and weapons in schools, hospitals and residential areas.
Ukrainian office director Amnesty International Oksana Pokalchuk leaves the human rights organization. The decision is related to the scandalous publication, which contains accusations against the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On Friday, August 5, she wrote in Facebook.
“It hurts me to admit it, but we are with the management Amnesty International diverged in value. So I made the decision to leave the organization. I believe that any work for the benefit of society should be done taking into account the local context and thinking through the consequences. And most importantly, I am convinced that our research should be done scrupulously and with an opinion about people whose lives often directly depend on the words and deeds of international organizations,” Pokalchuk wrote.
It is known that the speaker quit Amnesty International Ukraine Ekaterina Miteva. She stressed that the Ukrainian office urged the head office of the organization not to publish the scandalous report.
Recall Amnesty International published a report stating that APU allegedly violate the laws of war by “endangering the lives of the population by placing military equipment and weapons in schools and hospitals.”
The Office of the President reacted to the accusations of the organization with the words that only the Russian Federation threatens the lives of Ukrainians, and statements Amnesty International are “participation in Russia’s discrediting campaign against Ukraine.”
Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba said that Amnesty International “creates a false balance between the victim and the perpetrator” with his material, and Agnes Callamard, the secretary general of the organization, believes that public dissatisfaction with the statements in their material about the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly is an “attack of the Ukrainian trolls.”
