documentation of Ukrainian war crimes and atrocities
"Meanwhile Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday there was information that Kiev forces were getting ready for an assault.
'We have rather worrisome information ,which we are checking right now, that Ukrainian law enforcement is getting ready for another attempt to settle problems by force in the near future. It will be a catastrophe,' Lavrov said..."
Death squads of the Kiev regime have executed NAF fighters that were taken POW - slitting their throats and then wrote the name of their battalion in their victim's blood... and then taking pictures of themselves and posting them online as online terrorism.
Killing POWs and writing in their blood ...
Warning: Gruesome atrocities by barbaric Ukrainian regime
There will be no help from here. Canada supports the Nazis.
21-1-2015: An Appeal From Igor Martynov The Mayor of Donetsk To The World
https://twitter.com/JohnDelacour/status/557948063877443584
"Today, 21st January, as the result of deliberate barbaric bombardment by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, two water conduits from the Upper Kalmius reservoir were damaged at Donetsk. The Kirovsky, Petrovsky, Kubyshevsky and South pumping stations will not be able to supply water to their customers.
On behalf of the city administration and on my own behalf, I wish to say that we regard leaving inhabitants without water in the winter as direct genocide of the people of Donetsk.
At this critical juncture, I appeal to the international community to call for immediate assistance and adequate reaction to what is happening in our land, owing to the looming threat from the authorities of Ukraine to destroy us."
... we regard leaving inhabitants without water in the winter as direct genocide of the people of Donetsk.
Silence from the usual babbler suspects, silence from the "human rights" organizations in the West, silence all around.
Because the people of the Donbass .. should just die. That is what the West, with all its noisy human rights talk, believes.
Summary of Combat Operationsfor January 21, 2015
Some modest gains by the resistance. The junta has admitted they have lost control of the Donetsk airport and the fairy tale of the "cyborg" soldiers is in the trash can. The front line now runs through Peski.
To avenge the battlefield failures, the junta carried our particularly strong bombardments of Donbass cities, and according to preliminary data the number of killed in Donetsk, Gorlovka, Stakhanov, and other cities exceeds 100 people.
Just to be clear, these are civilians the Kiev junta is bombing.
We have seen and are seeing a sophisticated war crime being perpetrated, the responsibility for which is borne not by some self-willed volunteer battalions, but by Poroshenko personally, for he gave the order to destroy the Donbass, and by the Ukrainian military leadership which uses tube and rocket artillery for terror bombardments of peaceful civilians.
But surely the West is criticizing this?
European hypocrites are naturally ignoring the mass killings, and are endorsing the “carte blanche” issued to Poroshenko to carry out any and all atrocities in the name of fighting “Russian aggression.” That most of the killed are Ukrainian civilians does not seem to bother any “true democrats,” they don’t consider the victims to be human. Therefore Ukrainian fascism is wholly consistent with the European doublethink.
Silence from the usual babbler suspects, silence from the "human rights" organizations in the West, silence all around.
Because the people of the Donbass .. should just die. That is what the West, with all its noisy human rights talk, believes.
No. Apparently they have negotiated a corridor and are fixing it.

And if some of us don't bother to keep up with everything in your perennial streams, there's a reason for that . Kind of begs the question of why you didn't find that updated information and post it yourself.
Smith, why are you quoting an article that uses a representative of the junta, Oleksandr Lukyanchenko, who's living in Kiev and has been since the summer, to speak for Donetsk? Or didn't you know?
Lukyanchenko refers to the bombing of civilians as an anti-terrorist operation. See link.
The new mayor under the resistance is Igor Martynov.
But he's not the elected mayor (and how is the mayor a representative of the junta? He was elected by the people of Donetsk) and what does it have to do with the actual point in the article, which is that contrary to your claims, Ukraine has allowed a corridor for it to be fixed.
And evidently this isn't the first time. The water has been knocked out and restored several times since summer, most recently in late November. This stuff about letting the residents die is just nonsense.
'Je Suis Donetsk': Ukraine Army Attacks Bus and Trolley in Center of Donetsk. 13 Killed Including Children - by George Eliason
http://www.globalresearch.ca/ukraine-army-attacks-bus-and-trolley-the-ce...
"The latest attacks on civilian targets in Donetsk show a blatant pattern of criminal murder that has come to define the Ukrainian government in Kiev. Why is this openly Nazi government instead rewarded?"
dp
Graham Phillips has had his YouTube videos exposing the war crimes and atrocities of the Ukrainian junta censored and blocked.
But he has a facebook page, too bad CIA-Tube!
Cluster munitions used by the Kiev junta on Gorlovka civilians.
Human Rights Watch notes also GRAD multiple launch missiles by Ukr military (and criticizes self-defense forces for locating in densely populated areas).
Fair enough. This is what has held up the resistance from taking Mariupol - too many civilian casualties likely. Why can't the Ukrainian regime show the same respect for human life?
Ukraine Government: “We Target Civilians.” Separatists: “Their Targeting Maps Prove It.
The pro-regime Ukrainian TV station Hromandske TV — which is funded by the U.S. Government, the Dutch Government, has reported that the Ukrainian Government is specifically targeting civilians to die in the Donbass region in the former Ukraine’s southeast. It’s being done in order “to clean the cities.”
That is shrapnel, not cluster munitions, and could come from any number of types of artillery shells or rockets. Real proof would look like this (unexploded cluster munitions)...
or this...
These weapons have a % dud rate so there should be some laying around the target area and it appears an OSCE observer team's report on Wednesday also cited the use of cluster munitions in an attack on the separatist-controlled village of Komsomolske on Monday in which a 37-year-old woman was killed and a 5-year-old girl gravely injured.
FYI Cluster munitions are restricted from being used in populated areas and are not completely banned from use. Still bad on the UKA for using this type of ammo around built up areas.
Ukrainian soldier boasts about shooting civilians on his Facebook page
This story illustrates the socially acceptable mentality in today's Ukraine, were a soldier can boast about shooting unarmed civilians, because they are "subhuman separatists". And this is not the Right Sector or volunteer battalion, this is just one soldier from regular Ukrainian army. And according to him, he is not alone in his thinking. Besides an admission of a crimes against civilians, this is also an illustration of a deep rift in the Ukrainian society, which is divided not along the front line, but deep on the home front. A rift marked by deep hatred and a passion to annihilate fellow humans.
The People of Donbas Speak Their Minds About Poroshenko and his Atrocities (and vid)
A Ukrainian MP has issued outrageous threats against Crimea and threatened to torch its population.
The militantly pro-Ukrainian Dnipro Battalion leader- turned-MP Yuri Bereza has promised to "burn down Crimea, with all of its residents if needed. The threat was voiced in a live broadcast on the Ukrainian national TV channel 1+1.
Earlier in November Bereza pledged his battalion was ready to "intrude" into Russia, to “break into it with reconnaissance detachments and sabotage groups”. The threats were voice in a live broadcast of the 'Shuster Live' TV show.

Probably rusted out hulls from the Chechen war. You didn't get that pic from Yuri Bereza's photo collection did you?
"Danylo Lubkivsky, Ukraine’s Deputy Foreign Minister, presented the so-called “Kremlin’s Black Book” prepared by the “Information and Communication Department”, which apparently was created to highlight all the destruction that Russia has supposedly brought to Eastern Ukraine. While putting aside the stereotypical and unsubstantiated ‘blame Russia’ narrative, the document surprisingly might be the most comprehensive assessment yet of all the damage the country’s civil war has done to the East’s infrastructure and the overall economy of Ukraine. In this manner, the whole thing can be seen as a major backfiring for Kiev’s “information and communication” objectives, since it has inadvertently implicated itself by collecting and publishing all the data about the extent of its crimes."
As one commentator with a good memory noted, the Nazis were meticulous record-keepers as well. That helped a great deal, later on, in Nuremburg at the War Crimes Tribunal.
Blame Russia narrative ... backfires.
lol. If I'm not mistaken, you're one of those who ridiculed my efforts in creating a variety of threads relating to the conflict, claims of war crimes, russophobic media campaigns, possible plans for WW3, the new multipolarity, MH-17, etc. I thought then and I think now that while it's not a universal panacea for all discussion board problems, doing this is a useful way to focus discussion and not have such unwieldy threads.
And, here you are, agreeing with me. I guess I should shut up and just be glad. lol.
Why are you filling up this thread with dubious claims about the conflict, unrelated to any claims about war crimes and atrocities?
Isn't that trolling a thread? Why not put your doubtful claims where they belong, in the main Ukr thread?
While I now realize this isn't the thread I intended it to be posted in (sorry about that) there is nothing dubious about my claims. If that is all you have to dispute them that isn't very much.
Edit: Thread moved to Ukrain 2 and replaced with puppies and kittens... Who can hate that... 8-)

I don't know how serious the case is or the likelihood of success or enforcement of any decision, but:
DPR Opens Criminal Case Against Kiev Officials Over War in Eastern Ukraine
The Prosecutor General's Office in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) on Wednesday launched a criminal case against Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko and other top officials for waging a war in eastern Ukraine, Donetsk News Agency (DAN) reported.
The charges include "planning, preparations, incitement and the launch of an aggressive war by Ukrainian state officials," the news agency cited the ruling on the opening of the criminal case.
Aside from Poroshenko, charges have been filed against Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk and Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council's secretary Oleksandr Turchynov.
UAF Targeted Donbass Civilians For Shelling
Maps and charts show deliberate targeting
What in all likelihood is another (predictable) "false flag" operations by the putsch regime in Kiev took place in Kharkov. The Cassad blog is predicting another similiar false flag in Mariupol.
Well, at least he's consistent. Blame Russia, blame the "terrorists" (ie, ethnic Russians) in the east, and never ask "who benefits?"
I'm absolutely sure that this is not the last such actions. It is worth noting that in the previous days the junta media were actively fear-mongering on the subject of the NAF preparing an offensive on Kharkov and Mariupol. The DPR leadership was even forced to publicly denounce the junta's insinuations and state that there are no planes of an offensive on Mariupol right now. Actually, this is what they will try to bind this explosion too, saying that the NAF are preparing an offensive on Kharkov and that is why they blew up the bomb. This is how the Ukrainian media will present this story. It is quite probably that the next provocation after Kharkov will be again in Mariupol.
Something else posted here was useful.
And more on the topic of provocations. Here is a video with substantive proof (the captured journal of firing on Kirovskoye and the village of Shevchenko) of goal-directed shelling of the settlements of the people's republics by the fascist junta artillery. The journal itself is evidence that proves that the AFU artillerists committed war crimes.
link - this is how the junta makes note of shelling, in an organized way, Ukr civilians. (not in English)
That's quite useful when you want to debunk the idiotic claims of Bander-logs (as he calls them) who claim the resistance "shell themselves", etc.
In the prisoner exchanges, the Ukrainian junta continues to exchange people they have ripped off the street and tortured for genuine POWs that have been captured by the freedom-loving DPR and LPR Armed Forces.
Among the prisoners of the junta ... women and journalists.
Why does the Ukr regime do this? Probably because they have few prisoners to exchange ... since any prisoners may be have been MURDERED and thrown into a shallow grave.
Yesterday, Kiev junta exchanged 52 "POW's", after torturing and beatings, from whom just 50% are civilians, including 4 women (4 first photos) for 139 Ukrainian fascists, real POW's from Debaltsevo, who were fed and got medical treatment, some of whom fascists even got civilian clothes because their military uniform were in bad condition (next 2 photos) ...During the exchange of one of the Ukrainian soldier, a resident of Kharkov, refused to exchange and chose to stay in the Lugansk People's Republic.
... It should be noted that Ukraine handed over to the DPR and LPR mainly civilians, including women. Kiev junta arrested 4 mothers of members of Donetsk armed forces, only this were guilty of these women. One of woman have clear bruise below eye, it is visible on video. She was about 90 days in Kiev junta prison, she was tortured and beaten, Ukrainian fascists from SBU threatened to kill her child. Ukrainian fascists capturing civilians in the checkpoints in occupied territory, in order to change civilians for own POW. There, among other POW of Kiev junta was Andrey Zakharchuk, inhabitant of city Kiev and journalist of Russian media. He was arrested by false suspicion of SBU in espionage.
Number of real POW which gave Kiev junta, as usual, was less than 50%. Condition of the people, who back from Kiev junta prisons was very bad - many wounded, exhausted, with signs of tortures and beatings. Some prisoners could not move on own legs. On the contrary, all POWs whom handed over Donetsk and Lugansk republics were in good condition.
Behavior of Kiev junta fascist with civilians is similar to behavior of ISIS, because instructors and masters are same.
Yep, same masters, same behaviour. It's what they do at Langley.
All sort of public officials of the previous Ukrainian regime are being found dead, the victims of "suicide" in strangely large numbers.
Alexander Peklushenko, the former governor of Ukraine’s Zaporizhia region, has been found dead in his home, Anton Gerashchenko, a Ukrainian parliament deputy and an adviser to Ukraine’s interior minister, said on Thursday.
Wait, there's more. Much more.
Another two members of Ukraine’s Party of Regions, Mikhail Chechetov and Stanislav Melnik, were found dead some time ago. A number of high-ranking officials committed suicides in Ukraine from January 26 to February 28. Nikolay Sergiyenko, the former first deputy head of the Ukrzheldoroga railway company who was appointed by Ukraine’s former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov shot himself from a hunting rifle; Alexey Kolesnik, the former governor of the Kharkiv region, hanged himself in his home on January 29 without leaving a suicide note. The 57-year-old mayor of Melitopol, Sergey Valter, hanged himself on February 25 hours before a court hearing on his case. The body of Alexander Bordyuga, the deputy chief of the Melitopol police department, was found in a garage on February 26.
As one commentator remarked, the West-backed Maidan regime is exterminating its political opponents in a hurry, with complete impunity, as it knows it will face no scrutiny from Ukrainian or Western media.
No scrutiny from Western sponsors.
That's not counting, for example, the bomb threats and attempts to kill the Chief Public Prosecutor of Crimea, etc.
Interview with Odessa Massacre Survivor, Recently Released from Ukrainian Prison
"Odessa Massacre, May 2, 2014. Kolomoisky's right-hand man, Igor Palista was assigned as Odessa governor. One of the reasons...Kolomoisky was ready to solve the problem quickly, as he did in Dnipropetrovsk."
Nina Kouprianova: "A significant role played by Orthodox Christianity in the Donbass conflict is also evident from the fact that over 70 churches had been deliberately damaged or destroyed in this region by the West-backed Kiev forces. Novorossia’s spokespeople stated that they had no strategic military positions nearby, and that generally nothing else was hit next to the churches." (emphasis mine - ikosmos)
Destroyed church in Donetsk.

"Interviews with over 100 prisoners released by the Ukrainian side..."
While the investigation is ongoing, "mysterious" deaths continue to mount in putsch Ukraine.
The editor-in-chief of Neteshinsky Vestnik was found dead in the Khmelnitsky region, tells the Ukranian regional MIA's press service.
The Ukrainian regime continues to hunt for dissidents and journalists.
On Monday, the newspaper LOOK reported that Finnish journalist and politician Antero Eerolu was beaten in Ukraine. In addition, the journalists in Ukraine are working with the risk for life. The Ukranian troops are the main source of danger for them. These people have been already killed by the actions of security forces: RTR employees Igor Kornelyuk and Anton Voloshin, the operator of the Channel One Anatoly Klyan, Italian journalist Andy Rokkelli and translator Andrei Mironov, photojournalist MIA "Russia Today" Andrew Stenin.
A freak road accident involving a Ukrainian armored personnel vehicle that killed an 8-year-old girl escalated into a series of riots in Kostantynivka, Donetsk Oblast, on March 16.The accident took place at around 3 p.m. in the center of the city of 95,000 residents. The armored vehicle lost control on the road and hit the little girl, her aunt and her baby cousin ...
The accident caused unrest in the city, where many residents do not welcome the Ukrainian authorities and troops. According to some reports from the ground, Ukrainian military barracks were set on fire, but Kyiv Post has not been able to get an independent confirmation....
Also, propaganda machines on both sides geared up and pumped out scores of tweets about the incident. On one side, trolls issued warnings that the Right Sector “punishers” were coming into town to rein in the local population. On the other side, numerous tweets warned that somebody was using the accident to incite riots.

A large number of victims assert that the torture techniques used include burning skin with gas burners or burning hot objects, and burning various inscriptions into the skin of prisoners..."
More torture testimony...horrible. Horrible too that Canada supports this barbaric US-installed junta
Additional information about the Odessa massacre of May 2: the Odessa police gave personal information about the survivors (witnesses) to the Right Sector which started hunting them down. As a result, an additional 19 people were killed after May 2, and others went into hiding. A former deputy head of the Odessa police, now relocated to Kolomeysky's Dniepropetrovsk, confirms in an interview the personal involvement of Parubiy, the head of the Ukrainian Defense and Security Council, in the organization of the massacre. About 70 fascist paramilitaries were hiding at the 3rd floor ahead of the attack on the Trade Union building (other reports also identified such an earlier deployment of fascists militants prior the attack itself in the basement of the building.) A poisonous gas was, indeed, used: it was "burning" the lungs and causing loss of consciousness and memory for those who were able to survive it. The junta was afraid that celebrations of Victory Day on May 9 (victory over fascism) might lead to the loss of Odessa. — via BERKUT - Ukraine

Clearly neither the crazed malevolence of Ukrainian ultranationalism, nor the murderous allegations against this Nazi thug matters to Canada.

I know as early as last spring there were people from a Pentacostal church in Slavyansk murdered by the rebels. Clearly it has only gotten worse. Protestant churches in the Donetsk region have been turned into soldiers' barracks.
The interview with A. Purgin around the 15 minute mark, about the role fo the orthodox church in the state is worth noting.
Also the interview with the representative of the Russian orthodox church, around 17 minutes, pointing out that there have been no confiscations or threats.

This article by investigative reporter Olga Luzanova provides photographic and video evidence of the impacts of Kiev regime bombings directed against residential areas and schools in Donbass.
Civilians have been deliberately targeted.
These war crimes have been ignored by the mainstream media. They been not been acknowledged by the UN Human Rights Commission.
The fundamental rights of children have been blatantly violated by the US sponsored Kiev regime in derogation of international law.

"In February, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Gennady Gatilov said that in the process unleashed by the Kiev military actions, Orthodox churches and monasteries are destroyed. Believers have been harrased and bullied by Ukrainian nationalists."
Bullshit.
ikosmos, it was an interview with a representative of the Russian Orthodox Church in Donetsk. What are you suggesting, hypnosis? extortion? He's a CIA plant? A robot? It was all faked by Stanley Kubrick? I know lies, smears and half truths are your stock in trade, but what is your explanation for the words which came out of his mouth, considering he is a representative of the pro-Russian camp?
More on the many unreported (in the Western MSM) "suicides" by former officials in Ukraine.
US Senator John McCain, current designated Russophobic attack dog, and other Senators put forward a motion "condemning" the murder of Boris Nemetsov, blaming the Russian government for the murder without a shred of evidence, and urging the jackboot Obama regime to increase sanctions, etc.
Meanwhile, the unreported "suicides" just keen piling up. (Sorry for the pun.)
Meanwhile, in the same time period in Ukraine, outside of the pro-Russian area in the southeast, the following was reported:
- January 29: Former Chairman of the local government of the Kharkov region, Alexey Kolesnik, hanged himself.
- February 24: Stanislav Melnik, a member of the opposition party (Partia Regionov), shot himself.
- February 25: The Mayor of Melitopol, Sergey Valter, hanged himself a few hours before his trial.
- February 26: Alexander Bordiuga, deputy director of the Melitopol police, was found dead in his garage.
- February 26: Alexander Peklushenko, former member of the Ukrainian parliament, and former mayor of Zaporizhi, was found shot to death.
- February 28: Mikhail Chechetov, former member of parliament, member of the opposition party (Partia Regionov), “fell” from the window of his 17th floor apartment in Kiev.
- March 14: The 32-year-old prosecutor in Odessa, Sergey Melnichuk, “fell” to his death from the 9th floor.
The Partia Regionov directly accused the Ukrainian government in the deaths of their party members and appealed to the West to react to these events. “We appeal to the European Union, PACE [Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe], and European and international human rights organizations to immediately react to the situation in Ukraine, and give a legal assessment of the criminal actions of the Ukrainian government, which cynically murders its political opponents.
Not a goddam whisper from Western media. I guess these targets of the Ukrainian junta are the "unworthy" dead.

The resistance to the evil Ukrainian putsch regime noted the following:
Speaking to the AP, rebel spokesman Basurin said instances of mistreatment of Ukrainian soldiers captured on video had taken place, but rejected suggestions that separatist fighters were responsible for extrajudicial killings.Basurin said that Pavlov's remarks to Kyiv Post did not serve as proof of any misdeeds.
But, I suppose, repeated the unsubstantiated claims is good enough for some.
I saw the gory fake video on Odessa too.
No, no, no. The supporters of the putsch regime are supposed to say that the peaceful protestors burned themselves alive, remember?
