Ukraine told critics of the pace of its three-month-old counteroffensive to "shut up" on Thursday, the sharpest signal yet of Kyiv's frustration at leaks from Western officials that say its forces are advancing too slowly.
OHCHR estimates that between mid-April 2014 and 31 May 2016, at least 9,404
people, of which up to 2,000 are civilians, have been killed as a result of the conflict. The
vast majority of civilian casualties, recorded on the territories controlled by the Government
of Ukraine and on those controlled by armed groups, were caused by the indiscriminate
shelling of residential areas, in violation of the international humanitarian law principle of
distinction.
Na better believe Prigozhin, that guy never told a lie or said anything that was totally wrong.
You do realize that direction of the shelling wouldn’t be hard to determine? If you look at the side of a shelled building you know roughly which direction the shells are coming from. In your worldview OHCHR was duped by some elaborate conspiracy of repeated false flag attacks. That doesn’t even pass the sniff test. Also, why bring MH-15 into this? You cannot discredit my OHCHR source by bringing this up, what’s the connection there?
I don’t think I can go any more official than the OHCHR, and I don’t think I can convince you of your good vs evil narrative with any source. People got shelled, it’s obviously implied they got shelled by the other side, and no theory to the contrary is put forward in the report.
I’ll let you ponder this: This would be the first conflict in which one side commits all the war crimes. Even more curious, the side which commits no war crimes has a bunch of volunteer units literally using Nazi, SS and Bandera iconography. You know, the guys that marched hundreds of thousands of civilians into the woods and murdered them. Does that seem plausible to you?

Yes it says that exactly, unless you think the “armed groups” shelled themselves.

You’re talking about the side that has the Wagner group, right?
