1/5 On this day, #Ukraine marks the Remembrance Day of #Ukraine's Defenders who died defending the Independence, Sovereignty, and Territorial Integrity of Ukraine, introduced by President of #Ukraine@ZelenskyyUa in 2019.
On August 29, 2014, the Russian army ruthlessly killed the #Ukrainian soldiers who were leaving the besieged #Ilovaisk. The #Russian army in its beastly manner crushed Ukrainian soldiers with their howitzers and shot them in their backs.
In 2021, Viktor Muzhenko, the then Chief of the General Staff, said that on Aug.26 Ukraine unambiguously confirmed that it was fighting with the regular Russian army, not random terrorist groups with Russian nationals in them.
1/41Ukrainian society and beyond slams the latest @amnesty report that alleges that #Ukrainian fighting tactics endanger civilians, dubbing it manipulative and covertly pro-#Russian as it fails to provide the context of what is happening in #Ukraine.
2/4 President @ZelenskyyUa accused @amnesty of an “attempt to grant amnesty to the terrorist state and to shift blame from the aggressor to the victim of aggression. Some 🇺🇦 journalists have also described it as a bid to strike a "balance between the Jews and Hitler".
