Ukraine Inflicts Carnage

Earlier this week, the government in Kiev, which is supported by the West, unleashed violence against what it calls "terrorists" in Lugansk. The Ukrainian "authorities" permitted a ground attack aircraft to fire rockets on unarmed civilians, largely ethnic Russians but some ethnic Ukrainians as well, who were in or near the administration building in this breakaway area that wants closer ties to Moscow than Kiev. The people killed including women were defenseless and most had gone to the municipal building to ensure that no matter who claimed the territory during the strife, that essential services like water, natural gas, and electricity were maintained for all Lugansk residents regardless of ethnic background. The response of the butchers ruling Kiev was to obliterate civic-minded people who were only trying to keep their city functioning with air-launched rockets. This massacre from the air bears the hallmarks of a war crime. The shedding of innocent blood demands justice.
