smells like genocide
a devastating military response would be justified by these barbaric acts against civilians while this also reminds us of just who and what nato is .
they should have retaliated against the ukra nazi junta long time ago
nato should have retaliated, i agree.
so after a year of russian operations in the theater ukraine is still able to shell the city of donetsk with artillery ??? something is wrong here
whats wrong with that? after 8 years russia is still fighting terrorists in syria.
next time kiev do it, kremlin will start defending our slavic brothers in donetsk. next time kiev do it, if they do it again then kremlin will start to do it.
