The
Kiev fascist army this morning began massive shelling of Donetsk with all
available arms. This was even officially announced on the websites of the Kiev
government, meaning that Kiev has officially abandoned the cease-fire. The
shells are mainly hitting civilian areas and there will be casualties. So far there
are no complete figures yet. The situation is still developing. It is clear
that the shelling of Novorossia is the revenge of the fascists after their
crushing defeat at Donetsk Airport. The whole airport is now in the hands of
the Novorossia militia’s (NAF) and the Kiev army was forced to retreat. Last night
Kiev tanks tried three times tried to break back into the airport, but all the
attacks were repulsed. The fascists lost at least 3 tanks.
Along
the whole frontline there are fights developing and it is clear that in several
areas the militias are on the attack. It is said that the militias are now in
the outskirts of Mariupol. The fascist soldiers defending the town left some of
their strong points near the outskirts, which are now occupied by the NAF. In
Lugansk there is a 2-day ceasefire because of a public holiday. It is not yet
clear if the ceasefire is being observed.
The
new attacks by the Kiev fascists in many areas began after January 7 and are
mainly targeted at civilian areas. They are clearly war crimes, ordered not
only by Kiev, but also by Washington which controls the Kiev government. The
ultimate aim of Obama is to draw Russia into a shooting war. So fat President
Putin has given his full support to Novorossia, without getting Russia directly
involved. The situation is constantly monitored in Moscow.
