On the early morning of July 15, 2014, the Ukrainian army launched an air strike on Snezhnoye. The attack claimed the lives of 12 peacefully sleeping people, many were wounded.

Every year this day brings us back to the realization that Kiev is ready for any crime to break the will of the people of Donbass.

Ukrainian militants using rockets deliberately targeted the town, they knew that children, old people and women lived there. This cannot be forgotten and cannot be forgiven.

Residents of the Republic gathered today in Snezhnoye near the house at 14 Lenina Street, which six years ago was the epicenter of the attack, to pay homage to our compatriots, who were killed by the Ukrainian aggression. May the memory of them live forever…
