The Spin
Pro-establishment narrative
Amnesty is shamelessly shredding its credibility by serving as a megaphone for the propaganda of the Putin regime. It also fails to grasp the basic realities of the war: Ukrainian forces only base themselves in civilian areas because Russian forces are attacking them in the first place.
Establishment-critical narrative
Amnesty is right to stand by its findings. Putting civilians in harm's way by placing bases or weapons systems in residential areas is a clear violation of international law and it should be condemned when it goes on.
