Widow of Donetsk man: I will go and fight for him - Graphic warning

Graphic warning, http://edition.cnn.com/videos/world/2015/01/30/pkg-paton-walsh-ukraine-donetsk-shelling.cnn


This CNN video shows that these people know who it is that are killing them. It is the Ukrainian army. I'm sad to say that the US is on the wrong side of this horrific conflict. They have been since the very beginning. This CNN video report proves what many of us have known all along. I will try to find a You Tube version of this video but for now people will have to click on the CNN link.


Found it. Here's the You Tube version of the same video. Graphic warning,

then tell me what people are allowed to post? And your post is a bit xenophobic. I'm curious if you have ever been to Russia. In many places it's absolutely beautiful. There is a video on Vimeo showing St. Petersburg that is quite stunning. It is called the Venice of the North you know? I would recommend you check it out and realize that everything is not so black and white and that sterotyping, such as you are conducting with your post, is quite immature on a liberal, progressive website.

You might want to read a little on the culture and accomplishments of Russian people throughout history.

Just sad and pathetic.

killed off 80% of the German Nazi's?

And I guess you missed the Ukrainian military spokesman's statement there were no Russian soldiers fighting in eastern Ukraine?

Bigotry for no other reason than to spread hatred for your hoped-for war?

Offhand, I'd say the people in any of the towns are reliable witnesses as to where the shelling and rockets are coming from and therefore who is likely to blame.

It's a war. Both sides are shooting and civilians, as always, are getting the worst of it.
