Advocacy group Human Rights Watch called on Ukraine to investigate accusations that its military used thousands of rocket-fired antipersonnel landmines in and around the eastern city of Izium when Russian forces occupied the area

Human Rights Watch noted that it had also issued three reports last year accusing Russian forces of using antipersonnel mines in multiple areas across Ukraine since they invaded the country on Feb. 24, 2022."Ukrainian forces appear to have extensively scattered landmines around the Izium area, causing civilian casualties and posing an ongoing risk," said Steve Goose, Arms Division director at Human Rights Watch.

Ukraine is a party to the 1997 Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction. Russia is not. Moscow has denied targeting civilians or committing war crimes. In response to questions, Human Rights Watch said Ukraine's Deputy Defense Minister Oleksandr Polishchuk wrote in a Nov. 24 letter that Ukraine fully commits to all international obligations in the sphere of mine usage, including "the non-use of anti-personnel mines in the war."

This is another travesty from HRW. Actual what-aboutiZm to switch our attention from ongoing ruzki war crimes..

There is ample evidence of this (which happened last Summer) and several other large scale war crimes committed by the AFU. Simply an extension of their actions in Eastern UA for the last 9 years. It will be paper shuffled until people get distracted by the 'next new thing'

So Advocacy group Human Rights are Russian bots now? :D

As usual Reuters developing pro dictatorship agenda. Not hesitating to censor that fact that Lula refuses ammunitions to Ukraine demonstrating he is pro Putin. Reuters the specialist of misinformation

It is amazing how all these sponsors' money-eaters demand something from Ukraine while simultaneously ignoring the Nazis from Russia. How are Olenivka, Kharkiv, Vinnytsia, Kremenchuk, Dnipro, Kyiv and hundreds of other settlements? Why is no one writing about it?

Because they are going to snitch on themselves? This would be the least of their crimes.

What about the hospital Ukraine flattened in Lugansk using Himars rockets ?

Oh well

Speculation. There is no out for Russia's murderous actions...
