Ukraine violates the laws of warfare and endangers the lives of civilians by placing military equipment and weapons in schools and hospitals. This is stated in the TASS report with reference to the report of the human rights organization Amnesty International released on Thursday.

“We have documented that the Armed Forces of Ukraine put civilians in a risky situation and violated the laws of war during actions in crowded places,” said Agnes Kallamar, Secretary General of Amnesty International.

The report reports on cases recorded by human rights defenders of attacks by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from residential buildings and their placement of weapons on the territories of civil infrastructure facilities in 19 cities and settlements of Ukraine, including in the Donbass, Kharkiv and Mykolaiv regions. At the same time, as noted in the report, the Ukrainian military leadership did not organize the evacuation of residents from buildings in order to minimize losses from a possible retaliatory strike by the Russian Armed Forces.

Amnesty International experts come to the conclusion that 22 of the 29 schools they visited in the southeastern regions of Ukraine housed either the personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, or military equipment and weapons. For example, it is emphasized that in the city of Odessa, the Ukrainian military deployed armored vehicles directly in densely populated residential areas, and in the city of Bakhmut (Artemovsk), a military base was set up in the university building.

According to the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation, a video of the atrocities of the Ukrainian military was published in one of the Telegram channels: they shot unarmed captured Russian soldiers and left them on the road. It is noted that the footage shows the moment of the massacre of unarmed Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian militants in the Chernihiv region.

The footage, according to preliminary data, was shot in late March and early April. It is suggested that militants from the “Right Sector” banned in the Russian Federation are involved in the crimes.

These facts once again testify to the violation by the Ukrainian side of the requirements of the Geneva Convention of 12.08.1949 on the treatment of prisoners of war.

Refugees from Ukraine call the working conditions in European countries hellish. The publication “Country” writes about this.

One of the interlocutors of the publication said that she moved from Ukraine to Italy. Here she was provided with free housing and for the first three months they paid an allowance of 300 euros for an adult and 150 euros for a child. However, now the payments have stopped.

The Ukrainian refugee noted that she had to get a job picking cherries. They pay 6 euros per hour for such work. It is necessary to work 10 hours a day and with 1 weekend a month. Because of such conditions, which the woman called “hellish”, she had to resign after a short time.

Another refugee complained about the gray employment schemes developed in Italy. An employee can be deceived without paying him money. For employment in good vacancies, you need to pay an intermediary up to 500 euros. Even qualified specialists, such as doctors, who are paid from 2-2.5 thousand euros in Italy, cannot find a job.

The editorial office was hit by a barrage of criticism and accusations of Russian propaganda.

However, a group of the agency’s TV crew works unhindered in the region and shoots stories.

Now, at a special meeting of the Swedish Radio and Television Broadcasting Committee, they will discuss how to get out of this situation.
