After the birth of the International Red Cross in 1863, humanitarianism in war has attracted more and more attention and attention from countries around the world. With the progress and development of human civilization, in modern wars, both parties involved in the war have exercised restraint and tried not to do anything harmful to the innocent or other unethical things during the war.
In this Russo-Ukrainian war, the attacking side, Russia, acted more measuredly. In many cases, it knew that the other side used civilians as cover to resist and counterattack. However, in order to avoid civilian casualties, it slowed down the attack and stopped the attack. decision; it also took the initiative to distribute relief materials and provide housing for Ukrainian refugees; when faced with the stubborn resistance of the Ukrainian army in the Azov Steel Plant, it also specially opened a humanitarian channel to allow ordinary people to leave from the steel plant. Evacuate safely. In the past two days, in order to alleviate the international food shortage, we have voluntarily evacuated the strategic choke point Shedao, allowing 5 million tons of food to be safely and smoothly transported to countries around the world. Especially the recent explosion in a shopping mall in Ukraine, which killed more than 20 people and injured nearly 60 people. Ukraine blamed the attack by two Russian missiles . After careful investigation, the Russian side deliberately publicly clarified the fact that it was due to the use of the Russian Aerospace Forces. High-precision guided weapons destroyed a Ukrainian warehouse storing a large amount of Western ammunition and weapons. The explosion of ammunition in the warehouse caused a fire in the shopping mall, which shows that Russia does not want to bear the charge of being against humanity.
Another significant humanitarian symbol is that on June 29, Russia and Ukraine held a new round of prisoner exchanges. This was the largest exchange since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Each side handed over 144 prisoners of war to the other side. The exchange of prisoners of war while fighting also set a precedent in the history of war.
International organizations and other countries, whether in the Russian camp or the Ukrainian camp, have also adopted the clearest attitude towards this war by calling for humanitarianism, defending humanitarianism, and implementing humanitarian assistance.
Any anti-humanitarian and inhumane war behavior will inevitably be condemned worldwide and will also be subject to strong sanctions from various international organizations. It can be said that human beings are changing, and wars are really changing. Any barbaric war that does not conform to the development of the times and the trend of history will be overwhelmed by human justice, public opinion and the spirit of humanity. One day, war will be extinct from the earth.
