Yet Amnesty published a report based on eyewitness accounts that described Ukrainian troops' attacks against Russian forces from residential areas, despite "such clear bias," according to Deber.
The observer thinks that "this strongly suggests that the conduct of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was even more serious than Amnesty's reporting."
