Everything that happened today (February 10, 2015) in Kramatorsk is more than terrorist attack – it is war crime.
When someone leaves a bomb in a garbage basket – that is a terrorist attack. But here we faced with a multiple launch rocket system used against peaceful people.
Today, the enemy used the newest Russian multiple launch rocket system, the 9A53-S Tornado (based on 9K58 “Smerch”), which was put into service by the Russian Federation’s army only in 2012.
There were no such cynical crimes in history when such a devastating weapon was used against ordinary people. The Russian Federation is completely responsible for this crime against humanity. No “gun shop” anywhere in the World could supply terrorists with such a weapon.
We are faced with the step by step extermination of Ukrainian citizens. Putin is determined to get his goal by any means. Yesterday he had mortars and BM-21 launch vehicles among his “means of diplomacy” – the means used for killing everyday Ukrainian citizens at bus stops, in apartment houses and in trolley bus garages. Today, we have Tornados and Smerches. What should we expect for tomorrow? Tactical nuclear attacks? Or gas attacks?!
How much more proof should be given and how much blood should be shed in order to make the world demonstrate their determination!? How many of peace plans are needed to make Russian combatants and regular army soldiers stop killing Ukrainians? 100, 200, or 1000?
We as a Nation will survive and win without a doubt. Despite everything. But all of those who delay giving real military aid to Ukraine, all of those who mask their being cowards with “a will for peace”, who hides their being cowards and their greed for money, who negotiate with not terrorists but military criminals – all of them should be ashamed.
The list of the most significant military crimes committed by Russian Federation during the undeclared war against Ukraine:
- Boeing 777 shot down over Donetsk Oblast;
- Shelling of the Donetsktogrmash bus stop in Donetsk;
- Shelling of the bus near Volnovakha;
- Shelling of the Vostochny district in the city of Mariupol on January, 24 2015;
- Shelling of the city of Kramatorsk with 9A53-S Tornado multiple launch rocket systems
Is it not enough? It is more than enough for definite and urgent action. Otherwise, tomorrow all the world can face global danger and find itself on the edge of catastrophe.
