A military escalation of the conflict in Ukraine could be devastating for the rights of millions of people, rights group Amnesty International has warned.
Some 100,000 Russian troops have amassed on Ukraine’s border, prompting the United States and its NATO allies to warn of impending sanctions and using political manoeuvres in an attempt to deter a possible Russian attack on Ukraine. Moscow says its actions are purely defensive and accuses Kyiv and the West of provocative behaviour.
