Markus Papadopoulos: Kiev authorities commit a war crime using Grad systems
Earlier, representatives of the Slavyansk people's militia stated that the city was heavily damaged by shelling, noting that the Ukrainian security forces had begun to use the Grad salvo fire system.
“According to incoming reports, it is clear that the Ukrainian military, using units consisting mainly of immigrants from the western regions of Ukraine, as well as neo-Nazi groups and fascist parliamentary associations, such as the Right Sector, are committing war crimes in Donetsk and Lugansk regions. These crimes consist in the killing of civilians, including children and the elderly, the use of terrorist tactics, such as the use of the Grad volley fire, the cessation of the supply of water and electricity to the cities and villages of these regions, ”said Papadopoulos.
According to the editor-in-chief of Politics First magazine, Ukrainian security officials have lost a significant amount of weapons and manpower, including because of the desertion of soldiers who refuse to shoot at their people. However, the situation in the east of Ukraine remains "extremely unclear." “Due to the restrictive actions of the Ukrainian authorities against Russian journalists, as well as due to the inability of Western media to objectively and widely cover the clashes in the Donbas, it is extremely difficult to understand what is really happening there,” Papadopoulos said.
In addition, the expert raised the issue of silencing the facts about the tragedy in the east of Ukraine by the Western media.
“Western media are only a tool for politicians who use them for foreign policy purposes - against the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and these are just some examples. And any serious and objective commentator knows that the United States has been following Ukraine since 1991, when it gained independence. As soon as Ukraine joins NATO, Washington will finally achieve its goals, laying the foundation for the complete strangulation of the Russian Federation - political, economic and military, ”said the expert.
