Ukraine Using Civilians As Human Shields Says Amnesty International

Amnesty International has been very critical of Russia, not only for the initial invasion of Ukraine but also for human rights abuses committed during the six months-long conflict. Now Amnesty has turned a critical eye on Ukraine, and documented widespread evidence that the Ukrainian military has routinely been intentionally operating in civilian areas, putting non-combatants at risk and leading to many of their deaths. Not surprisingly, Ukraine apologists have accused Amnesty of doing pro-Russian propaganda while President Volodymyr Zelensky has described Amnesty’s allegations as “intolerable” and “victim-blaming.” Jimmy and his panel of The Dive’s Jackson Hinkle and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the report and the response to Amnesty’s efforts at evenhandedly judging all sides in every conflict.
