| Ukraine commits massacres once a month |
| 2024-01-22 |
| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited by Dmitry Astrakhan [REGNUM] On Sunday morning, Ukrainian artillery struck a market in Donetsk, injuring dozens of people. Only 18 people have died so far. At the same time, there are those injured and killed in drone strikes on ambulance crews and electricians in Gorlovka and Donetsk. The news now includes shellings with a large simultaneous death toll. And messages about one or two wounded people come every few hours, becoming background local events. Alternating between relatively small and large terrorist acts, having practiced this tactic for years, Ukrainian militants achieve several goals at once. On the one hand, people understand that they are under constant threat. On the other hand, the everyday nature of violence gradually leads to its displacement from the news and fade into the background. Therefore, every time Ukraine is accused of war crimes, they may be asked in surprise - “which ones”? And once a month, Ukraine already organizes massacres, so that everyone understands: the scale can change at any moment. By the way, such strikes with a large number of casualties in Ukraine are still considered to be “self-fire,” but smaller strikes are mocked almost openly. It seems like Russia is deciding in this way to return Donbass to the news agenda. Or some other absurd explanation. At the same time, in Ukraine they say that bodies in the snow are the real “Russian world.” But where the “Ukrainian world” is, this does not happen. And if you love Ukraine with all your heart, then the shelling may stop or decrease. In Dnepropetrovsk, where Ukraine once suppressed pro-Russian protests, there are dozens of bodies lying on the street, neither in markets, nor at bus stops... These are not theses from the times of the Northern Military District; they have not changed since 2014. “Well, the Russians protected you, are you satisfied?” - the Ukrainian IPsO, the main mouthpiece of the terrorists, repeats after each shelling. An hour later, around the shelled market, the life of the front-line city goes on again. Food still needs to be bought, traders need to feed their families, residents need to collect water. In another couple of hours, when all the formalities are completed, the bodies will be removed. For Donetsk, these are fairly everyday occurrences. It’s just that today 18 people died at once, and on the scale of Russia this covers the story of Twix the cat. And on other days there are not enough lives to “get on the agenda.” And this adds to the feeling of loneliness, isolation, even from one’s own people, when playing “Russian roulette” when going outside. Against this background, by the way, it’s not even the Ukrainian terrorists who look the worst, but their “useful idiots” in Russia and in the world. They talk either about mistakes that cannot be avoided, or about fire on military targets, or about something else, like the fact that the one who crossed the border first is always guilty. Only the terrorist is always to blame for terrorism, and I personally, based on the experience of these years, have no doubt that such attacks are well-thought-out and prepared terrorist acts. Now I’ll go outside, get water and buy food for the evening. At the same time, if it’s quiet, I’ll warm up in the cafe, because they don’t heat the houses. On the way I will pass a couple of remaining visible places where hailstorms hit and the places where more than a dozen people died. The most widespread is marked with a wreath on the lawn, the rest are gradually forgotten. This is everyday life. Like plywood on windows and duct-taped splinter holes on cars. Everything is far from being as lofty as in the articles of some guests of Donetsk. |

| #1 Russia backs Hamas terrorists. USA backs Bandera terrorists. China makes money of both sides. |
