Fragile ceasefire has been implemented in Donbass. Ukrainian Army left Debaltsevo on 20th February. The greatest part of the grouping was encircled. Local population told to the correspondent of RT Murad Gadziev about the events which they overcame last months.
Cloths of Ukrainian fighters are everywhere in Debaltsevo. Local dwellers are looking for food and warm cloths. People sat in bomb shelters for some weeks. It seems that troops fled in a hurry, they left a lot.
‘We have sat in shelters since summer’, told local woman. One woman said words of attitude to Ukraine that it made people homeless.

Again you removed my comment. Why?
I asked you just a few questions.
Is it so difficult to answer?
By the way, I found on YOUTUBE a movie probably even posted by a naive Russian soldier (or is it “volunteer”)
They seem to like the destruction in Debaltseve.
Or am I mistaking?
So here are my questions again.
(and my answers, but of course I can except crticism and you may always give your answer and opinion)
Ukrainian army was in Debaltseve. So who was shooting on Debaltseve?
Separatists and Russians.
So for whom dd the civilian population had to stay in shelters?
I think for those same separatists and Russians.
And the buildings and infrastructure that was destroyed … who was shooting on it?
I think again those same separatists an Russians.
And even worse … in the last 72 hours even more heavy weapons were placed around and firing on Debaltseve.
Guess who.
Than there was a ceasefire …. and who continued shooting on Debalseve ….?

How did you understand that this soldier is Russia? Civilians were to stay in shelters as a result of constant shelling. The town was occupied by Ukrainians.

“Ukrainian army was in Debaltseve. ” …
How did they get there? Did they hatch in a local chicken farm?
I don’t see any reason to apologize even if it is only and entirely Russian military fighting this war against the junta …
I am a US taxpayer. I see Ukraine as a Pakistan of Europe. And this war is so similar to the Bangladesh liberation war of 1971. Forty five years later no one can refute the good results of India’s involvement in it and the dirty hand of US (Nixon, Kissinger) in it
(read “Blood Telegram – Nixon, Kissinger and a forgotten genocide” by Gary J. Bass — a professor of politics and international studies at Princeton University).
About 3 months ago, we were gleefully looking at Debaltseve bulge and fist pumping. Now that the ‘bulge’ turned to a ‘cauldron’, we are crying foul …
You seem to be able to acquire so much intelligence from a 30 sec. youtube video …
I am prescribing a small wiki reading for you: “https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indonesian_occupation_of_East_Timor”. It’s about another genocide in East Timor (1975-1999).
Don’t be surprised if you would have to conclude that my saint-like ex-president Jimmy Carter also watched over it (actually the thick of the massacres).
