  1. Truth Hurts and Z's reaction only affirms the accusation.

  2. Before you blame Russia for sponsoring AI, it is indeed a Western NGO. AI has also spoken up against authoritarianism in Russia (demanding to free Navalny) as well as condemning Uyghur camps.

  3. I wouldn't expect him to say otherwise…
    Of course he did not mention the 30÷ american biolabs, the 14000 dead russians/ukranians since 2014, nor the now proven fact that the ukranian army set base and operated from… hospitals, schools, civilian housing projects and even… go figure… kindergartens!

  4. Amnesty international has joined the once reputable institutions, like the BBC , .
    Nowadays,they serve their master ,jolly Uncle Sam

  5. More American Propaganda Bull Sh!t
    from the Wall Street Television Network.

  6. just because russia commits warcrimes doesnt mean ukraine should be allowed to

  7. Amnesty International: *Also criticize Putin for the Chechen wars and the imprisonment/death of opposition politicians*

    SJWs: oMg tHeY aRe WorKInG fOr PuTleR DiSgUsTing #CancelAI

  8. У зеленского только кокаин не агрессор и не террорист

  9. This is a joke! this gives Putin a green light to invade whoever he likes what a bunch of morons, and for those people out there that think Putin is a better man has never lived under a dictatorship so why don't you go and find out.

  10. "Send many more billions of dollars and I promise Big Guy gets his 10%."

  11. Evacuate people from danger!
    How can that be a warcrime?

  12. Anyone familiar with Ukraine knows that the Ukrainian military set up camps and bases in the heart of civilian areas to help deter the Russians from attacking. The problem with this that the Russians know this strategy well themselves and do what is necessary to destroy their enemies, wherever they may be. If Ukraine want to reduce civilian deaths, it needs to stop playing games and using their people as human shields. The UN report is correct and based on facts. Zelensky is a propagandist that will say anything to get an edge against the Russians…!

  13. Zelenskyy is a Putin employee – he's willing to fight until the last Ukrainian is dead. Then he will retire to Tel Aviv and write his novels.

  14. Let’s be honest, Ukraine never stood a chance. America is criminal for demanding them to fight until the last man.

  15. Nazi Hitler regime bombed and killed London civilians. Nazi Russia are killing Ukraine children. No less than three hundred killed and much more maimed. Amnesty International justify and support Russian bombings of civilians . What kind of organization A I is?

  16. Oh no we criticised The Hero Zelenskyy such a crime should not go unpunished

  17. Liar liar pants on fire

  18. Zelenskyy is a Bolshevik in every sense of the word. Ukrainians are stupid to follow him.

  19. Of course the dingbats here would take Pootin’s side.

  20. Where's the AI report about Russia kidnapping Ukrainian children and giving them to Russian families to raise as Russians?

  21. Amnesty international must be drying up on funds if they’re taking Russian money

  22. I can see governments seizing the finances and homes of these people, for giving aid and comfort to Russia.
    AI is not wrong.
    Ukraine is commiting War Crimes.
    They just refuse to admit it because the US has PAID THEM TO DO IT.
    Only the semites can be the eternal victim.

  23. Merkel, UN and Amnesty International are Russia's best friends. Some of them are to blame for the war and now they are even starting to "covertly" lol. justify it to save face. Oh, yeah Shroeder also. Such lovely peacebirds…

  24. Amnesty, where is the report about Russia?
    Why the invader is not a subject of your report?
    I find it disturbing (frigging crazy) that Amnesty did not describe the Russian tactics.
    It's like to write BS about Finland in 1939 when USSR invaded this small, but very heroic country.

  25. He was praising them three weeks ago and a month ago about Bucha but now he doesn’t like them because he got called out

  26. So many trolls under this video its utterly amazing. Russia attacks Ukrainian cities and somehow the defenders of those cities are blamed for fighting in those cities as if they should leave them and what? Let Russia take them? Are people insane all of a sudden? Have you all lost your minds?

  27. Who to believe ? The most credible Organisation to stand up for human justice or the actor of one of the most currupt Countries in the world that not even Donald Trump trusted ?

  28. His day is coming…..

  29. Ducking Hitler. At least Hitler didn’t ran and hide 🙈

  30. Ukraine supports Stephan Bandera…..guy that was responsible for 100,000+ Poles and Jews to be brutally killed. To this day it hasn't been acknowledged or apologized to either Poles or Jews. #Volhynia Massacre #WeRemember

  31. Quote by John.F.Kennedy 》"The greater our knowledge increases,the more our ignorance unfolds."

  32. Puppetlensky the clown
    🤡🤡🤡

  33. amnesty international is a Russian collaborator and with this repulsive report they joined the ranks of the russian war criminals and need to be prosecuted.

  34. I bet Zelensky feels so empowered wearing his green camo shirt day in, day out. Like he’s ready to go into battle but not actually going into battle. Except maybe behind a green screen.

  35. This report is the end of Amnesty. The Amnesty lies and is obviously biased and funded by the aggressor Putin

  36. I wonder if stating the obvious was considered a super-power in these days. Or is it a crime?

  37. It seems to me that this war is fought by stupid people against real killers.

    The russians are stupid in this war, because their missiles very often fly where they don’t need to and hurt the civilian population, and also these guys really made trenches in the red forest, you understand? This is really stupid.

    The real killers are the ukrainian government, which once again uses its own population as a human shield, once again asks for more weapons and then sells them on the black market, shoots at a nuclear plant, actually holds the male population hostage aged 18 to 60 years. Can you imagine? No one ever has the right to intimidate a person, and he is not obliged to serve the state against his will, even if the country is at war

    maybe we really should stop constantly giving money to Ukraine from our taxes and we should think about how to force Ukraine to negotiate?

    Therefore, what is happening in Ukraine reminds me of a circus where the former comedian Zelensky is in the title role.

  38. This comment section is full of morons. Russia bombs civilians indiscriminantly, yet Ukraine is somehow supposed to move the battles to a nicer location? What about the risk to civilians that Putin poses? Amnesty International is just so divorced from reality at this point that its a total joke.
    Slava Ukraine!

  39. What to say… strong Ukrain army hide behind hospitals and schools.
    What a brave army.
    But a good tactics to show how Russia is k
    shooting on hospitals and schools.
    This fact is known weeks before, but now some official organisation show the throoth.

  40. Then stop using your citizens as human shields…
    This dude is a real comedian

  41. Thats the only reason Zelensky survived as president and his army is still running. Media liked to spread lies about the Zelensky army heroic defense and bravery. It is actually war crime and Zelensky is a war criminal. But it worked partially around Kyiv and Harkiv, failed in Donbas and Southern Ukraine. Anyway, thats not a winning tactic, soon or late the population is turning against such practice. Remember how the people in Sverodonetsk and Lysichansk met the Russians – as liberators and the only reason was their own army treated them as living shields for so long.

  42. This guy sure got a big mouth now that he's being supplied with an infinite amount of arms. Time to get to the barging table and drop the barvado. Russia needs to do the same. 💯

  43. The truth often hearting…
