Up to 100 people, including civilians and pro-Russian fighters, have been killed during a 24-hour bloodbath in the eastern Ukraine city of Donetsk.

Dozens of militants were reported dead in a furious battle for control of the airport in the key city of Donetsk where bodies were lying in the streets.

My Comment: RT has even more pictures of civilian casualties (the link is here). It should be noted that these images have not been verified by outside media .... but these are the images and pictures that are now being shown in Russia and on social media. Not surprising .... the anger is rising in Russia .... and these photos are now putting Moscow under pressure to do something.

  2. Yeah, well it's pretty bad, I've seen much worse, but this is headed that way fast. We're probably not too far from reprisals. I feel kinda bad for that gal in the pic, if the mothereffer that got her knew what he was shooting at, then I hope he dies very very hard. These civilians have got to realize that normal has left town and this stuff is not a spectator sport.

    I must admit that when I saw the police blocking the road to the airport, I had to laugh a little, it was like they were working wreck on a normal day.

    Well we've talked about your family before, so I'm not too worried about em, even the old ones. But they'd better know how to get small every once in a while.
