Human Rights Watch presents release about situation in Ukraine

Human Rights Watch (HRW) presents an official release about the situation and events in Ukraine. 

So, according to the release, Ukrainian goverment forces used cluster munitions in populated areas of Donetsk in October.

“During a week-long investigation in eastern Ukraine, Human Rights Watch documented widespread use of cluster munitions in fighting,” the release presented on Monday states.

“It is shocking to see a weapon that most countries have banned used so extensively in eastern Ukraine. Ukrainian authorities should make an immediate commitment not to use cluster munitions and join the treaty to ban them,” senior arms researcher at Human Rights Watch Mark Hiznay was quoted as saying.

HRW also stated that an employee of the International Committee of the Red Cross was killed on October 2 in an attack on Donetsk that included use of cluster munition rockets.
