They ‘got rusty’ and lost reaction?

Orest Sohar, the editor in chief of the Ukrainian publication “Obozrevateli”
said in connection with the study of Amnesty International, which generated harsh reactions in Ukraine, that AI is a weapon in the hands of Putin’s propaganda and its most recent report on the situation in Ukraine confirms this. ‘The international human rights organizations got rusty in Europe during relatively clam decades in Europe. They don’t know to work in conditions of the military aggression staged by a particular state that threatens the whole civilized world,” he stated.

The human rights organization Amnesty International used the “testimonies” of people who were in prisons or filtration camps in the Russian-occupied territories of Ukraine to prepare the highly-criticized report on the Armed Forces of Ukraine allegedly endangering civilians, according to the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications.

In particular, Amnesty International collected the materials on the territory of filtration camps and prisons, the survey was conducted among those “willing” to provide this kind of information. In some cases, according to the Center, a “proper” interview of this kind was the only chance to pass the filtration and leave the occupied territories.

Situation tense at Zaporizhia nuclear power plant

The Russians have begun to openly blackmail the whole world, declaring that they have mined the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant (NPP) and are ready to blow it up, Energoatom reported on its Telegram channel on Monday. According to Energoatom, it was Vasiliev who announced that the Russian occupiers had mined all the important facilities of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant.

“As you know, we have mined all the important facilities of the Zaporizhia nuclear power plant. And we do not hide this from the enemy. We warned them. The enemy knows that the plant will be either Russian or no one's. We are ready for the consequences of this step. And you, warriors - liberators must understand that we have no other way. And if there is the toughest order, we must fulfill it with honor,” Vasiliev told his soldiers.

The contract units are being formed on a territorial basis because that makes it more convenient to work with the "volunteers".
