Not much mention, I'll grant.
Now Kiev’s forces are reinforcing their defenses in the city of Mariupol, in southeastern Ukraine. http://rt.com/news/183368-ukraine-novoazovsk-kiev-troops/ But the story I posted had an embedded link to a video where you could confirm with your own eyes and ears what happened. I'll take video over reporting from either side. ;0) |

Did you get to see the Ukranian soldiers being marched throught streets..
so they could be humiliated and battered by the locals? In violation of the Geneva Conventions, by the way. Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

Geneva Conventions? So there's legitimacy to Донецкая народная республика?
Actually, until you posted that, I had heard a report of it but then did look up the video. It is disgusting. Not entirely unpredictable, but disgusting nonetheless. I sincerely wish both sides would stop shooting and find a peaceful solution. I recall about half of my classmates in Kiev were Russians. We, of course, were children and immune to the hatred of our elders. My best friends then were Sasha (Russian), Borya (Ukrainian), Artur (Ukrainian) and Alexei (Russian). There were others, of course, and we played football (not our abortion of a game, the real one) every single day after school in front of the Hotel Europe. I think about those kids today and am horrified that they (or their children) might be trying to kill each other. |
