The Kremlin has no information on the credibility of the report of the Amnesty International human rights organization that has described some Russian airstrikes in Syria as "war crimes."
"We have no information on such possible incidents and on the credibility of these allegations," Russia’s presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday, adding that the Kremlin has not yet seen the report.
Peskov said it is up to the Russian Defense Ministry to speak on this issue during its regular briefings for the journalists. "These are details linked to holding the operation, and only the defense ministry has full information."

„Strom von Lügen“: Russisches Militär antwortet Аmnesty International...
ReplyDeleteDas Verteidigungsministerium in Moskau hat den Vorwurf der Menschenrechtsorganisation Amnesty International, russische Kampfflugzeuge setzten in Syrien international geächtete Streumunition ein und griffen Zivilisten an, zurückgewiesen.
Die russische Luftwaffe setze keine Streumunition in Syrien ein, sagte Militärsprecher Igor Konaschenkow am Mittwoch. Auf dem russischen Luftwaffenstützpunkt Hmeimim im syrischen Latakia, von wo aus Bomber Angriffe gegen Daesh (auch Islamischer Staat, IS) und andere Terrororganisationen fliegen, gäbe es überhaupt keine Streumunition.
Der jüngste Bericht der Menschenrechtsorganisation, laut dem durch russische Angriffe Zivilisten getötet worden sein sollen, bestehe, so Konaschenkow, aus „Klischees und Fakes“. Er rief Аmnesty International dazu auf, ihre Informanten bekannt zu geben. Die Berichte über angebliche Angriffe auf zivile Ziele bezeichnete der General als einen „Strom von Lügen“: „Einige der Krankenhäuser, Angriffe auf die Russland vorgeworfen werden, existieren überhaupt nicht.“............http://sptnkne.ws/at5A
