Ukrainian “liberators” in Avdeyevka

A story told by one of the dwellers of the town of Avdeyedka nearby Donetsk:
− When Ukrainian Army, consisting of Aidar and Dnepr battalions, the Right Sector, foreign mercenaries and other structures, entered the town, marauding, rapes and murders started in it. Local inhabitants went missing. The police did not notice it or simply pretended not to notice.
The locals got indignant, and in response the “liberators” shot at people with broad smiles. At nigh plunder of stores, food supermarkets and boutiques, houses and apartments started. Everything that could be lifted was being stolen – from food and clothes to cars and generators.
They curtailed the supply of food and coal to the town, explaining that the supplies could be used by “separatists”. Only elderly people and the disabled as well as the people who had nowhere to flee to remained in town at that moment. The workers of the Avdeyevka coking plant also stayed to provide for its functioning.
Humanitarian aid of Rinat Akhmetov’s Fund arrived here twice, but the locals had never heard about humanitarian aid from Ukraine.
The castigators made fun of the retired people, who had not received any pensions for months: they’d give them a sack of sugar and then make videos with their phone cams, enjoying the scenes of distribution of this sugar between poor hungry and emaciated people.
The presence of foreign mercenaries should be particularly noted, speaking English and Polish. There also had been girl snipers from the Baltic States. The foreigners tried to avoid the locals. They lived in apartments abandoned by the people who fled from the war.
The block-post was established in ten feet distance from a residential house, and when shelling started, the troopers hid in the basement. They did not let the residents hide in the basement.
The town is devastated. Most of the houses are demolished. They position howitzers nearby residential buildings and open fire on Donetsk.
The wounded soldiers cannot stay in the hospital for a long time, because there is no electricity and water supply there. Central heating does not work as well. They evacuate the wounded and the dead. Earlier they had been transported by KamAz trucks in the daylight, openly. However, they know better than that now and evacuate the bodies at night along the tree belts.
We cannot present any information as to the mass graves in Avdeyevka, as we are not able to move freely around the town because of shelling, but let spring come and if there are any people will find them by the smell. There are such graves near locality Orlovka, though.
A lot of drunken castigators wander around the town looking for drugs and weed.
The commander of the scum said he does not care shit about Avdeyevka and the people who remained in town. Ukrainians do not let repair the substations in order to resume electricity supply, and they did not also let repair the gas tubes.
Ukrainian Nazis place artillery in the woods and carry out shelling of Avdeyevka from them, and then tell the inhabitants that terrorists are shooting at them from Yasinovataya. Nevertheless it is hard to fool the people who have already learnt to differentiate between hits and salvos and know from what device the fire was carried out: a howitzer, a mortar-gun or MRLS.
They do not enlist the locals to Ukrainian Army, as they are afraid that they will turn the arms against their command.
The command settled in the abandoned apartments as well. Water is delivered to them and they have power generators, which they had either stolen from the stores or from the locals. Water supply is regular for them.
However, local dwellers – the elderly, little children and their parents, have to suffer from cold and have not even got the most essential things – they live in hell. Even Germans did not treat the population of the occupied territories like this during WWII.
Ukrainian occupants consider themselves masters of this land, and they definitely like the war, because they make profit from it.
The inhabitants of Donbass do not know how long this terror will last. They still have hope that the war will end soon and peace will come. Only will the people, whose relatives died, whose houses were ruined, whose property stolen, whose children were huddling in the basement and had no chance of enjoying life going to schools and kindergartens? Will Kiev junta be ready to bear the responsibility for these crimes, as well as rank and file troopers, who came to this land in order to kill and plunder?
