At the same time, the organization did not abandon its conclusions

LONDON, August 7. /tass/. The human rights organization Amnesty International apologized for the "painful" report on violations of the laws of warfare by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, but did not abandon its conclusions.

"Amnesty International deeply regrets the stress and anger caused by our press release on the tactics of warfare on the part of Ukraine," the organization, headquartered in London, told Reuters on Sunday. - The priority for Amnesty International in this and any other conflict is to ensure that civilians are protected. Of course, the latest release on the topic was subordinated to this single goal. Although we fully adhere to our conclusions, we regret the pain caused."

On August 4, Amnesty International published a report stating that Ukraine violated the laws of warfare and placed military equipment and weapons in schools and hospitals. After that, the head of the Ukrainian bureau of the organization Oksana Pokalchuk said that she had decided to resign from her post. As a justification for this step, she pointed out that she "disagreed on values" with the leadership of Amnesty International.

On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request from the leaders of the Donbass republics for help. After that, the United States, the EU, the United Kingdom, as well as a number of other states imposed large-scale sanctions against the Russian Federation and increased the supply of weapons to the Ukrainian authorities.
