    Amnesty International has in a surprise shift placed its human rights scrutiny on Ukraine in a fresh report released Thursday. It immediately sparked a firestorm of criticism as both Western pundits and Kiev officials themselves blasted the findings as "unfair".

    The Amnesty report said investigators had "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 three war-torn regions of the country from April through July.

    The report detailed that schools and hospitals, as well as people's homes, were put in harm's way, suggesting 'human shields' type tactics utilized by the Ukrainian military.

    "Such tactics violate international humanitarian law and endanger civilians, as they turn civilian objects into military targets. The ensuing Russian strikes in populated areas have killed civilians and destroyed civilian infrastructure," Amnesty continued, saying this resulted in Russian attacks on said civilian infrastructure.

    The report detailed further that in 22 of 29 schools visited by an Amnesty team between April and July, investigators found evidence of prior military activity. Additionally, five instances of Ukrainian troops using hospitals as bases were documented. The report went so far as to stress Amnesty was "not aware" of instances where Ukrainian troops first tried to evacuate civilians from these locations.

    Zelenskyy You criminals give me my money!
    "8 billion euros for Ukraine are currently suspended," he continued, and then charged: "And such an artificial delay of macro-financial assistance to our state is either a crime or a mistake, and it is difficult to say which is worse in such conditions of a full-scale war."

    this was an interesting read

    It is a fluff piece.
    It says in short...
    "Every Ukrainian soldier is 100% dedicated and loves their country, send more weapons especially artillery. They can learn any system and put them to good use instantly because they are magical"

    Then goes on to blame the USA because we have not given our artillery pieces,MLRS,and ATACMS to Ukraine since they are just "They are used U.S. Army weapons out of our Army’s excess stockpile, which means they can ship as soon as the President signs the approval." as if they could be easily given and then replaced.
    Not even a mention of ATACMS likely causing a full blown war in Eurasia as they could strike Moscow from Ukraine and immediately involve all Russian allies including China. For the same reason Russia has not hit a NATO ally we should not give Ukraine weapons that can reach Moscow. It would make for a much wider war.

    Revolver news? it starts with R and you know what else starts with R. Also, they use red in their color scheme. When oh when will the Putin sponsored propaganda ever end. Time to send troops over and show them dirty commies who's boss.

    Seems like all the videos I saw ( or at least the majority ) Ukrainian soldiers are running suppressors. Anyone have any intel on these? Are the homemade like the body armor or are they being supplied?
