I read some of this report. They actually suggest that instead of using civilian buildings in civilian areas, they should use buildings away from civilian areas or, at one point, it actually suggests Ukraine use "nearby woods" as a base of operation.
Absurd.
If Ukraine's military abandons these areas, what do they think russia is going to do to the civilians in those areas? Russia's goal is to capture the cities and you can't defend cities and the people in them from "nearby woods"
I do agree that Ukraine should not be setting up military operations in hospitals. you don't want to make a hospital a target. Though russia certainly has shown that they will bomb and kill ANY target regardless of what is in it.
They also claim:
"In the cases it documented, Amnesty International is not aware that the Ukrainian military who located themselves in civilian structures in residential areas asked or assisted civilians to evacuate nearby buildings – a failure to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians."
Sorry, I don't believe that for a SECOND. Ukraine worked tirelessly to get people out of harms way when Russia invaded and i'm sure the people that CHOOSE to stay behind and defend their homes ARE WELL AWARE that a WAR is going on around them.
Fuck this bullshit, this report is a disgrace. You want Ukraine to stop fighting near civilians? TELL RUSSIA TO LEAVE. If it were me, I'd be happy to know people who want to defend my city are nearby and not "in the woods" since letting Russia roll into those areas is more likely to get me KILLED.
