Ruined Slavyansk

Most of the residents of Slavyansk, a city in eastern Ukraine, left their homes. Those who remained became hostages of the civil war that is happening right before their eyes. Homes, hospitals are destroyed, people are experiencing a shortage of food and water, and then they turn off electricity. Here is how the city looks today.

The photographer of the Reuters news agency captured in his photographs what Slavyansk looked like in the first half of June, and the Ukrainian military again fired on Slavyansk on June 19.

This time they hit the Resurrection Church, built in the 18th century, with a shell. As a result of the shelling, the watchman was killed, the press service of the Slavic and Gorlovsk diocese informs.

for the fact that they don’t want shit democracy and the new Bandera fascist power ...
Sorry for normal Ukrainians

[Stypor23]

I imagine what the veterans felt when the syki Nazi Parade was canceled on May 9

Even if a MIRACLE happens and the EUROPEAN Ukrainians take control of Slavyansk, the hatred of local residents will be comparable to the hatred of Soviet people for fascists in the Second World War. Kiev will NEVER give money for the restoration of the destroyed city, and what it will give is traditionally stolen. Ukrsiloviks in Slavyansk will move like Germans in 1943 through Belarusian villages (in a big pile and only during the day) ... So that the Ukrainians got into a BOOOOL poop for any outcome .... IMHO

I agree with everything except one: not Ukrainians, but Bandera.
I am Ukrainian, and I always hated and abused this abomination as I could.

[amigo1969]

So I planned to write ... But, the moderator ban all harsh words. So I reinsured))))))

[peter-tank]

The pictures resemble the "Chechen landscapes" of the late 90s - early 00s. Who will restore all this?

[0255]

Definitely not the Kiev junta and not the west

[tank64rus]

It’s a pity for people, a pity for the city, but it’s not a pity for politicians to arrange it.

[Russ69]

Hmm ... Good little, from all this. Moreover, the main burden, as always, falls on civilians ...

[Rigla]

But the lord (or pan) Tsarev says one thing to the people, but in fact he gathered to bow to Bandera with his peace initiatives

[atos_kin]

And here it’s still quiet ...

[exiv200gt]

It is very a pity for the elderly and children, the latter are simply innocent creatures, they would have to run and frolic on the street, and not hide in the basements from shelling.
Who knew that in the 21st century, in a seemingly civilized society, this is possible ...

[vladmetro]

cattle, what else about the stole can be said !!!

[AndreyRS]

It is impossible to watch children. What g .... should be in the head to prevent all children from being taken out of the combat zone! And by militia - I'm for them. including and support money.

[credo.a]

If a year ago, the inhabitants of Slavyansk were told that they would be bombed, killed and destroyed at home, they would have considered that person crazy. And now this is a cruel reality. The war is at our doorstep and it is very close. And if we are inactive, tomorrow she will come to our house.

act according to the covenants of a homosexual Bandera.
Putin must stop this all the same.

All the same, Putin must stop it. With cunning plans or without cunning ones - but the sooner the better.

I'm afraid I can't count on his support. Donbass already now looks more and more like a huge ruin, and every day the situation is getting worse and worse. I do not believe in negotiations, Poroshenko simply "makes a face", but in fact, he covers up the carnage. To be honest, after his victory I thought that at least a sober-minded businessman would calm down this gang (I could not even dream of meeting the demands of the Donbassians), but fate was not ...

You are all strange people, you regret, etc., etc., but why didn’t you feel sorry for the Chechens in 1995-2000, there the whole capital city was wiped off the face of the earth, and the aircraft bombed and shelling, and now you are howling. So Ukraine has the right to defend its integrity by ANY means, just as Russia defended Chechnya, where you called militias militants, spirits, and here why not, and all militias, so Ukrainians have the right to call them militants. EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE

[exiv200gt]

This is what you call to uphold your integrity:

As noted in the Ministry of Defense, the military repeatedly recorded the shelling of the village with mines. One of them fell into the coastal zone and did not burst. The “filling” of the exposed mine consisted of several layers of gauze, in which were unknown larvae, worms and wool.

One of the soldiers of the militia, through negligence, had contact with the "stuffing", and after a few hours he began to have a sharp increase in temperature and a rash on his body, according to a statement on the website of the Lugansk People’s Republic.

And this is just one example, and there are phosphor shells, needle shells and much more that this semblance of government allows itself.

There is a difference. Donbassians, unlike Chechens, didn’t cut their heads to soldiers, didn’t blow up houses, didn’t seize schools, didn’t kill people in trade union buildings ... To continue the list?
They do not even demand secession from Ukraine. They just want to finally raise the issue of federalizing the country at the state level. A question on which the still memorable President Yushchenko was obliged to conduct a referendum. The question that the late Vyacheslav Chernovil (founder of RUKHA) spoke about the need to resolve. A question whose positive solution would just stop all talk about separatism and the "collapse of Ukraine". But no, the Banderaites cannot organically accept as equals those who do not profess their ideology. For them, all who are not they are the enemy. For them, everyone who does not speak Galician is the enemy. For them, everyone who is not a Uniate is the enemy. And they see enemies only as dead.

Now let's compare with the Chechens. Did they demand federalization? No, Russia is already a federation, and they have their own government. Have the Russians seized at least one school in Grozny? No, the school was captured in Budenovsk. Have the Russians taken at least one theater and its spectators with their children hostage? No, it was at Dubrovka. Did Chechen human rights activists provide at least one mutilated corpse of their soldier who was in Russian captivity? No, but watch the movie "Underworld". How do the current Banderites differ from the current Chechen bandits (from whom, by the way, ordinary residents of Chechnya are already tired) and past (or are still alive?) Nazis? I personally do not see the difference and therefore I am not going to draw parallels.

DEATH TO Fascist OCCUPIERS!

[SPAAARTAAA]

Are you a troll or just d u r ak? If the second, then I will explain - I never wondered why the capital of Chechnya is called the Russian word, huh? Before all those bloody events, 60% of the Chechen population were Russians, descendants of the Terek Cossacks. And now there are 99% Chechens. And Yeltsin was ready to sign an agreement on the independence of Chechnya, even spitting on the Russian genocide, but the problem is that they began to carry out armed raids on neighboring Dagestan and the stavropol region. They could not live differently then (or did not want to). At VO there were already articles devoted to these problems, if you are too lazy to look, then here is one of the links http://topwar.ru/386-vojna-v-chechne-1925-god.html
And if you do not believe me or this resource, then talk to eyewitnesses of those events (refugees or conscripts who fought there). After that, I think you won’t write so much stupidity and even less compare these conflicts. PS If you feel sorry, then it’s certainly not the Chechens who killed those who built schools, factories, hospitals, roads in the region and are still building them.

The war is already knocking on our door ...

[drop]

When the Second World War began I was 3,5 years old. Mother managed to get us out of Belarus and at the end of August my father sent us to evacuation from Leningrad. He himself died in December 1941 on the Leningrad front. My mother and I returned to Leningrad in the winter of 1944. I remember the destroyed Leningrad, I remember who restored it. I remember who was hanged in the square near the Gigant cinema. Our government, together with the government of Donbass and Lugansk, are obliged to draw up a list of criminals who killed children, their parents, and rapists. This list should be made public - these are war criminals, these young people from the Maidan should be punished. At the beginning of the work to restore destroyed houses, roads, then the death penalty by hanging. War criminals must be killed regardless of time. This is the law of war. I had to participate in hostilities in Egypt, Angola. They did not spare such bastards there. I have the honor.

Absolutely correct sequence. I spent my childhood in the Donbass (Stakhanov, then Lugansk), I know these wonderful people, I know how they created their cities with their labor (rarely, what city is there more than 200 years old), how they loved and adorned them, how they created power with their sweat and blood that large country in which we all recently lived, and how they fed these Galician loafers who now want to rule Ukraine. And only for the right to speak and read in their native language are they ready to take their lives. Even the Nazis did not reach such atrocities.

[Evrepid]

The photos are great, and the fact that they are terrible.
It is terrible that young children get used to the fact that there is no bread, no water and nowhere to play.

[Kibl]

Take off, do not take off, but these bastards behind the "big puddle" on a banana, well, when will they respond with something!

[Cheldon]

I remember one of the great and wise told about the red line. What happened to the "Kursk" - drowned. What happened to Slavyansk was destroyed by malicious defaulters for gas.

Tovarisch Troll !! Are you even from this planet? Do you understand what you are comparing? In my opinion, no!
It's time to sober up !!!

Just creepy. This is no longer a war, this is just genocide. And how can the Eurocynics accept such non-people into the "civilized society of true democracies"?

[whitejohn12]

Yes, the valiant dill army showed itself in all its glory, it’s just a pity the innocent people.
