''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported on March 28, 2022 that the Ukrainian military has a responsibility under international law to remove their forces and equipment from civilian-populated areas, and if that is not possible, to move civilians out of those areas.  If they don’t do that, that is a violation of the laws of war because what they are doing is they are putting civilians at risk. All that military equipment are legitimate targets. Andriy Kovalyov, a spokesman for the Ministry of Defense's [[Territorial Defense]], whose forces and equipment are positioned in Kyiv, scoffed at that reasoning.  Alexei Arestovich, senior adviser to Volodymyr Zelensky, told the ''Post'' that "international humanitarian laws or the laws of war don’t apply in this conflict."<ref>https://archive.ph/wip/IUpIM</ref>
