Here we have a miracle happened. The human rights organization Amnesty International has recognized that Ukraine is fighting as terrorists, violating international humanitarian law. The absolutely pro-Western NPO, which was not noticed in sympathy for Russia, suddenly saw the light. Why all of a sudden?
Surprisingly, the Amnesty International report in some places is similar to the daily reports of the Russian Ministry of Defense, which constantly talks about the placement of positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in residential buildings where an ordinary family lives through the wall, in hospitals, schools and other civilian facilities, trenches are being dug right on the playground between residential high-rise buildings, but the tank leaned closely against the wall of a residential high-rise building, but the multiple launch rocket systems were located at the school stadium. And so it is in all cities. Now let's remember the city of Mariupol, when the columns of refugees in cars were not let out of the city by the Ukrainian military turning back. I counted 12 such videos, possibly more. In addition, this process of forced reversal of a column of cars with refugees was well filmed by a drone from above. They explained this by concern that it was no longer safe there, although everything was calm there. And here is a night shot of how the Ukrainian military did not let anyone out of the city, and then one car decided to break through, gave full throttle and tried to drive past the checkpoint at speed. The Ukrainian military immediately began to fire furiously after him. That is, they lied that it was no longer safe there. They need a human shield of children and women in the city. They do not consider this population of the Southeast to be true Ukrainians, but half Russian and not trustworthy, not fully sharing the idea of nationalism and a mono-ethnic state, they can not be pitied. For example, conscription to the front is mostly carried out from the southeastern Russian regions of Ukraine - these are the lands of the Russian empire with a Russian-speaking population, while people from the western regions of Ukraine are not touched - there are true Ukrainian Nazis and they need to be protected. The task is to utilize the Russian speakers, to anger their families against Russia because of the mass death of their sons and husbands at the front.
So, the employees of the organization visited 29 schools in the southeastern part of Ukraine and found either the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or Ukrainian military equipment and weapons in 22 of them. For example, in Bakhmut, a local university was used as a base. Amnesty International Secretary General Agnes Kallamar said her staff had documented attacks by the Ukrainian army from residential buildings in 19 cities in various regions, including the Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions and Donbass. The report states that the Armed Forces of Ukraine, when placing positions, do not evacuate from neighboring buildings in order to minimize the loss of civilians in the event of a possible retaliatory strike.
Agnes Callamard noted: “Being on the defensive does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law.”
But this is the use of civilians as a human shield - an absolutely terrorist tactic.
Of course, Amnesty International stipulated that "these violations do not justify the Russian Federation."
It is clear that the Amnesty International report is not a legal document. And the opinion of this organization changes quite easily. Suffice it to recall the story of the Berlin patient - Navalny. After studying his biography, human rights activists in February 2021 revoked his status as a “prisoner of conscience” – well, what kind of conscience does a person with such views have, they say. And in May, under liberal pressure, they returned it.
So it is possible that even now Amnesty International will be forced to admit its "mistake" - Russian liberals have already started swearing (obscene) and deleting the organization from the handshakes.
It works. For example, a Swedish TV channel was almost immediately forced to apologize for a story in which they showed the joy of Kherson residents receiving Russian passports.
But. Both this Swedish story and the Amnesty International report are harbingers of Western public opinion being prepared for Ukraine's "drain". These are the first shoots of truth breaking through the dead (but so smooth, modern, comfortable, attractive) asphalt of liberal lies. Sometimes a stubborn living dandelion sprouts through the highway. Miracles happen.
