Genocide of Russian-speaking civilians during shelling of towns and villages in SE Ukraine

[Stratford57]

Last Sunday millions of people were marching in Paris against terrorism. The people of all the world were watching them and were with them with their hearts and souls. Journalists of all the world did their best to carry information about those tragic events literally to each home in the world and we all thank them for that. Compare: 15 civilians in Paris were killed and in a few days all Europe stood up. In Donbass (rebellious SE Ukraine) since last June thousands of civilians have been killed already and several are killed every days by Ukrainian Army, which is shelling Donbass from Grads, Uragans, ballistic rockets etc.? Where are those journalists? Except for Russian Journalist who take risk of their lives to present the true picture from Donbass , there are NO OTHERS! (Last June-July six journalists were killed in Donbass: four Russians, one Italian with his interpreter). All the West receives the “information” (technically: disinformation) from official Kiev, who is obviously not interested to look bad and tell the world what it’s doing to its own people. My question is: how the Western world can even buy that information without any confirmation (videos, pictures) from the scene of the actual events? If anybody from the Western world bothered to come to Donbass, make videos of thousands of ruined houses and just ask civilians (women, seniors and even children know!!) one simple question: who keeps ruining your houses and killing your people, everybody would answer as one voice: “Ukrainian army does!”, however the world stays uninformed...

Here is a 22 min film with English subtitles, which shows some events in SE Ukraine which Western Media will probably never inform their audience about. Subtitles are hard to read, but for those who are interested to know another side of the story, should not be a huge problem.



Criminal investigation launched in new cases of genocide of Russian-speaking civilians during shelling of towns and villages in Donbass

13 january 2015 15:10

The Main Investigations Directorate of the Russia’s Investigative Committee has launched a criminal investigation in mass shelling from Grad, Uragan, self-propelled artillery Akatsiya (Acacia) and Gvozdika (Carnation) and other heavy weapons, including using incendiary shells, which took place between 01.01.2015 and 12.01.2015 in the towns of Donetsk, Gorlovka, Dokuchayevsk and Olenovka and other towns and villages. The shelling attacks claimed lives of 40 people and over 120 more were wounded, destructed or damaged houses, facilities of social structure and communications in Donbass.

In all, since the beginning of the so-called antiterrorist attack in southeast of Ukraine over 4,800 people have been killed, over 10,500 more were wounded, over 1,000 houses, facilities of social structure and communications were destroyed or damaged leaving over 500,000 citizens homeless and forcing them to seek refuge in the Russian Federation.

Actions of top political and military leaders of Ukraine that are commanding that so-called antiterrorist operation in southeast of Ukraine and their subordinates commanders of nationalistic battalions Aidar, Azov and Dnepr are qualified no other than genocide (article 357 of the RF Penal Code), that is killing the Russian-speaking group of the population. The said criminal case will be joined with the one opened earlier over use of prohibited means and methods of war.

It should be noted that such actions of Ukrainian military clique are classified as very serious crimes not only in Russia, but under international law as well. Namely, in Protocol on cease-fire in southeast of Ukraine (Minsk, 05.09.2014) and Memorandum to it (Minsk, 19.09.2014), as well as provisions of the Convention on Protection of Civilian Persons in Times of War (Geneva, 12.08.1949) and Additional Protocol II to it, Convention on Prohibitions or Restrictions on the Use of Certain Conventional Weapons Which May be Deemed to be Excessively Injurious or to Have Indiscriminate Effects (New York, 10.10.1980), Convention on Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Paris, 09.12.1948) and others.

This is not the first criminal case opened by the Russia’s Investigative Committee regarding killings civilians in Donbass, including old people, children, journalists and Russian citizens. Apparantly, trying to hide the names of military men from wider public, Ukrainian commanders hoping that nobody will know them have made rotation. But they are deeply wrong about that! There are no doubts that in this case as well Russian investigators will do their best and exert every legal means at their disposal to not only find out the names of those newly-made “fighters” with civilians of Donbass and add to the list of those under investigation, but to give publicity to them so that the whole world would know who are to be blamed of all those unlawful actions and atrocities in southeast of Ukraine. It looks most cynical that the whole world stood as one in response to the tragedy in France and in the same way all as one do not see more cynical and barbarian crimes committed daily by Ukrainian authorities in Donbass.

as for legal bases for prosecution of Ukrainian military men and mercenaries, Russian law in accordance with the part 3 of article 12 of the RF Penal Code gives us the right to prosecute foreign citizens who have committed a crime outside the Russian Federation in cases that crime was directed against a Russian citizen and cases provided for by international agreements of the Russian Federation, if foreign citizens were not convicted in a foreign state and are prosecuted in the Russian Federation.

A Torture Survivor on Ukraine s Tortured Ceasefire - The Daily Beast

“Forget about this peace agreement,” Budik told The Daily Beast. “You will see, Russia will attack us in a week or two. When was the last time Russia kept promises?”

Budik’s Georgian experience is one source of his distrust: “I was in Abkhazia in 1993, when Georgia agreed to a ceasefire deal with Russian-backed Abkhaz forces, but the Abkhaz attacked us two weeks later together with Russian and Chechen military, the same way they are attacking us today in Ukraine.”

After Budik had been held for about a month by the separatists, his body was covered with wounds and infections were setting in. One day the pro-Russian rebels tortured him for over four hours, asking, “Who are you?” the whole time. Through most of that session he was lying on a bench, his hands and feet bound with tape. “There were eight interrogators around me demanding I tell them which intelligence service I worked for, NATO or the Mossad,” Budik said. “Two of them stuck knives into my hips and shins.”

But that was not the end of Budik’s suffering. On May 23, Denis Pushilin, one of the separatist commanders in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, decided he might be able to exchange Budik for an apparently very valuable woman in Ukrainian custody: Olga Kulygina is a 40-year-old pro-Kremlin political analyst working for ANNA-news. She is [URL='http://www.donbass-info.com/content/view/14098/14109/']reported to be a close friend of Igor Strelkov, one of the key leaders of the Kremlin-backed push in what Russian President Vladimir Putin likes to call Novorossiya.

The interrogators wanted Budik to help them negotiate his own swap with Kiev. The rebels were willing to give first 10, then 14 prisoners in exchange for Kulygina, but Kiev was still asking for more prisoners. So Bes, “The Demon,” lost his famously short temper. On June 3, the rebel leader announced he would execute Budik and another captive, a secret police colonel. In the video posted on YouTube and elsewhere, the two Ukrainian officials are shown standing with their faces to the wall in the half-lit basement of the former police station, waiting for their execution. In the foreground a rebel in a camouflage uniform addresses the Ukrainian leadership: “The death of these men is your fault,” he says.

Oh, if forgot to mention one important thing. If anybody wants to know how to stop the war in Ukraine: USA and Europe should just stop sponsoring official Kiev, it's pretty easy and it's worth of trying, isn't it?

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Yes, does this look like war in Ukraine depends on the USA and Europe?

Jeremiah, do the nurses know you are using their computer?
