Representatives of an international human rights organization
Human Rights Watch published a report, which presents the preliminary findings of the HRW commissions working in the Donbas, about those responsible for a series of recent tragedies. The report, published on the official website of the organization, states that both parties to the conflict are engaged in active hostilities, refusing to divert heavy equipment and large-caliber artillery systems to the distance stipulated by the agreements.
Representatives of HRW report that, in their opinion, the shelling of a bus near Volnovakhi, as well as the eastern suburbs of Mariupol, was carried out from territories controlled by the DPR militia. Wherein
Human Rights Watch question the statements of the Ukrainian side that the Russian army is involved in the conflict.
From the report:
Ukrainian authorities and other governments say that there has been a significant increase in the number of Russian troops in eastern Ukraine. Human Rights Watch did not determine the presence of Russian troops in the east of Ukraine and involvement in any particular attack.
At the same time, representatives of HRW report that Ukrainian troops were involved in the attacks on Donetsk, including the attack on the trolleybus, which was at one of the Donetsk stops.
From the report:
Employees of HRW identified the presence of a rebel base (DNR militia - approx. "VO") approximately 500 meters from the site. Apparently, this base was the goal of the Ukrainian government troops. HRW documented that the rockets fired from Grad hit the residential area. The presence of a rebel military base in the direction of attack and the location of government forces show that government forces are responsible for the attack.
The mass media of Ukraine, covering the HRW report, selected from it only those paragraphs that refer to the responsibility of the militias. Items in which
Human Rights Watch accuses representatives of the Ukrainian troops, ukropress decided not to offer their readers for familiarization.
