The human rights organization Amnesty International denies that it used the testimony of people from "filtration camps" in the occupied territories of Ukraine to report on the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Earlier, this version was put forward by the Ukrainian Center for Strategic Communications.

“Amnesty International categorically denies these allegations, they are baseless and completely false. None of the people we interviewed to obtain additional evidence were in Russian prisons or "filtration camps" or in Russian-controlled territories to which Amnesty International does not have access. Our researchers interviewed all the witnesses, whose testimony we used ourselves, in the territories controlled by Ukraine. All testimony was given to us voluntarily and in a safe environment,” Amnesty said in a statement.

The human rights activists' report, published on August 4, stated that the UAF's tactics violated international humanitarian law by turning civilian objects into military targets. According to Amnesty, the Ukrainian military carried out strikes from residential areas in at least 19 settlements.

Kyiv criticized the report of the organization. In particular, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba accused her of "creating a false balance between villain and victim."

On August 6, the director of the Ukrainian office of Amnesty, Oksana Pokalchuk, announced her resignation. On August 7, Amnesty International apologized to Ukraine for the report. At the same time, she did not withdraw her conclusions.

On August 10, Amnesty International Swedish co-founder Per Westberg left the organization with these words:

“I have been associated with this organization for almost sixty years. It is with a heavy heart that I end my long association with her because of Amnesty's statements about the war in Ukraine."
