Previously: Amnesty International Defends Report Condemning Ukrainian Use of Human Shields
Wait. They’re apologizing for issuing a report saying the Ukraine is using human shields, but not retracting the report?
So they’re saying “yes, they are indeed using human shields, but we shouldn’t have brought it up.”
RT:
Human rights group Amnesty International has issued an apology for the consternation triggered by its recent report, which, among other things, accused the Ukrainian armed forces of violating “international humanitarian law and endanger[ing] civilians.” The organization has, however, refused to disavow its findings.
In an e-mail sent to Reuters on Sunday, Amnesty said that it “deeply regrets the distress and anger that our press release on the Ukrainian military’s fighting tactics has caused,” as cited by Reuters.
The rights group went on to explain that its “sole objective” in publishing the analysis was to ensure that “civilians are protected.” It also made it clear that it “fully stand[s] by our findings.”
In its email, Amnesty insisted that its observers had sighted Ukrainian forces in the vicinity of residential areas in at least 19 towns and villages across the country. According to the organization, by positioning its forces in such a manner, the Ukrainian military endangered the civilian populations there by subjecting them to the danger of incoming Russian fire.
Soon after the findings were published, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky accused Amnesty of trying to shift the responsibility away from Russian troops. Addressing these criticisms, the group stressed that its findings do not suggest that “Amnesty International holds Ukrainian forces responsible for violations committed by Russian forces, nor that the Ukrainian military is not taking adequate precautions elsewhere in the country.”
The rights group added: “Nothing we documented Ukrainian forces doing in any way justifies Russian violations.”
…
Commenting on the group’s findings, Agnes Callamard, Amnesty International’s secretary general, emphasized that “being in a defensive position does not exempt the Ukrainian military from respecting international humanitarian law.”
Zelensky, however, lashed out at Amnesty, proclaiming that anyone who doubts that “Ukraine is a victim” is an “accomplice of Russia – a terrorist country – and a terrorist themselves and a participant in the killings.”
Well.
That’s a pretty weird statement.
I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anything like this in my life.
They aren’t sorry for what they published, they’re sorry for your reaction to it. A non-apology in my book

Sorry I made you feel bad, is not an apology. It’s what politicians do when they fail to see what they did was wrong

I can’t believe @amnesty is apologizing for hurting a few feelings of the most delicate little flowers and the most vicious oppressors on the planet aside from the occupiers of Palestine.

What you forgot to tell is that even though they are sorry about the distress and anger they still didn’t cancel their publication. Pro Ukrainians are just crying because they discovered that their “heroes” are the real villains here.

They got nothing to apologise for, they just told the truth about the Ukrainians and lots of sad asses don’t like the truth.

“We’re sorry we told the truth”
It’s about time someome told the fucking truth. Ukraine’s corruption is so obvious only shills can ignore it.

Many are not alleged, as they were directly witnessed by Amnesty International workers. Russian’s are also incriminated in the report.
This has become a political issue instead of objective reporting on war crimes.
