(4 years ago)The United Nations says the Ukrainian Armed Forces hold a large, possibly equal share of guilt for an attack on a nursing home in Luhansk, where dozens of elderly and disabled patients were blocked in without water and electricity two weeks after [...]
According to the AP, Ukrainian authorities blamed Russian forces, accusing them of killing more than 50 civilians in an unprotested attack. At least 22 of 71 patients survived the attack, but the exact number of people killed remains unknown, according to the United Nations.
Now, however, the United Nations says the Ukrainian Armed Forces bear much of the blame for what happened in the village of Stara Krasnyanka, writes The Guardian.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights's Office report does not conclude that neither side has committed war crimes, but said the battle in the home of the elderly is an example of concerns about the possible use of “human savings” to prevent military and operations in certain areas.
