A Sign Of Where The Ukrainian Conflict Could Lead?



A Sign Of Where Ukrainian Conflict Could Lead? Victims Of Mortar Attack Stand Before Their Flaming Home, Like A Scene From The Eastern Front In The Second World War -- Daily Mail

* Ukrainian officials said one border guard was killed during a mortar strike
* Villages in the Lugansk region were targeted, engulfing homes in flames
* Scenes resemble the trail of destruction left by Hitler's army 70 years ago
* Buildings were set ablaze by ground and air forces between 1941 and 1943

Devastated residents have been forced to flea their burning homes in Ukraine following mortar attacks in scenes reminiscent of the Eastern Front during the Second World War.

Suburban buildings were engulfed in flames and shell craters dotted the ground as strategic positions along the border with Russia were targeted.

The image of devastation in Lugansk is a sign of the escalation in military tensions between Kiev and the Kremlin following the end of a 10-day ceasefire.

But the pictures, which strongly resemble the trail of destruction left by Hitler's forces in the Soviet Union 70 years ago, are also a worrying sign of how the conflict could develop.

My Comment: The above video is from an RT report on the fighting in the eastern Ukraine city of Severodonetsk. My information and news flow from this region has now been cut off. My last contact fled during the "ceasefire", and he paints a grim picture on what is happening in this region. Everyone is now living in bomb shelters and basements, and the Ukraine military is now bombing indiscriminately pro-rebel strongholds .... even though there is suppose to be a ceasefire. Most of the young men have joined (or will be joining) one of the many militias in the area .... and everyone else are now making plans to flee to the safety of Russia or to western Ukraine. The destruction is enormous. The economy has collapsed. Basic services are at a minimal. Any hope for a peaceful resolution is now gone.
