The Ukrainian military has angrily spurned a call from eastern Ukrainian rebel leaders for a humanitarian ceasefire, aiming to allow civilians trapped in the sieged city of Donetsk to escape.
The proposal was pushed overnight by Alexander Zakharchenko, the premier of the secessionist Donetsk People’s Republic, saying it was necessary to avert a growing humanitarian crisis in the city, the largest rebel-held city.
Ukrainian military spokesman Andriy Lysenko insisted no offers for a ceasefire would even be considered without a unilateral, unconditional surrender by the rebels.
The Ukrainian military has Donetsk surrounded, and is shelling areas across the city. Large numbers of civilians have already fled, but many more remain, trapped in the ongoing siege.
Yet another genocide paid for by American dollars.
What they really mean is that Kiev Neo fascist government will continue killing people for the natural resource in eastern Ukraine. I am sure that Joe Biden son nor the us state department or Berzinski or fir that matter Rand Corporation have anything to do with the Kiev Neo fascism decision!!,,,,.
I thought the Rand Corporation was 1960s?
They're still around.
Is this another "case of the dog in the night time"? The accident investigators haven't barked yet so does that mean it was an accident or a putschist "mistake", and the accident investigators have been pressured to suppress the results of their investigation until the putschists have used their Nazi thugs to rout the rebels. Given the past history of the USG's approach to Israeli wars, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
Malaysia will isue a report in time. Chill.
This tells us that the Ukrainian military beleive that they have more or less beaten the rebel colonists and that Putin isn't going to invade. Hopefully, they're right on both counts.
> Hopefully
Explain.
Of course, Ukraine will have taken note of the recent events in Gaza and simply tell the world, "Oh, naturally the deaths of civilians in Donetsk are the fault of the separatists; the rebels refused to surrender so there was no possible way we could let the civilians leave the combat zone. If the civilians didn't leave on their own, the separatists are to blame, since we only employ precision munitions and target only military targets."
Yeah, okay- whatever. Just remember, you might not have the US to deflect war crimes charges on this.
