Daily attacks by the armed formations of Ukraine continue to bring disaster and suffering to civilians in the Republic.
Ukrainian militants yesterday targeted the village of Aleksandrovka, which is located close to the delimitation line. For 15 minutes, they fired 30 BMP-2 rounds on civilians’ houses. Four civilians suffered injuries of varying degrees of severity, including three children born 2013 and 2010. A man born 1965 was also wounded.
The victims were taken to Donetsk, where they received medical care, their condition is satisfactory now.
Even suppressing the indignation, which is absolutely justified in such situations, we declare with all responsibility that this lawlessness of the Ukrainian armed formations cannot last forever!
We have a question: what is the reason for existence and operation of such a reputable international organization as the OSCE, which demonstrates its complete powerlessness and can in no way prevent the criminal terrorist activity of the Ukrainian state?
If this international organization for SECURITY AND PROTECTION completely disregards the requests to create a secure environment and protect civilians and children, what other independent methods does our state have? We must use all possible methods we can!
