Ukraine crisis: The town where war still rages on – BBC News

Published

on



The conflict in Ukraine is entering its second year and a ceasefire, nominally in place since February, has failed to stop the violence in areas around Donetsk airport. Among the hardest hit is the village of Pisky. It had a population of 3,000 before the war started, but now only a handful of civilians remain. Fergal Keane has been granted exclusive access to the village, which has been sealed off by the Ukrainian army.

    BBC wants you to believe that Minsk agreement is false bcz they want to introduce USA in Minsk format or even smth worse. There few hot spot in the demarcation line, but now instead of 4000 of victims in one month as it was before the Minsk Agreement in 3 monthes just 15 civilians were killed in Donetsk Republic instead of thouthands. So BBC as usual brain-wash abject liar who is propaganding the war. Shame on BBC!!!

    To see, not all war criminals and executioners executed, if they still in power and impudently launch the wars, even against neutral countries. Ignoring, not only opposition of aggression, but also common sense. Putin, with his very greedy company, instead of sending thousands of Russians to slaughter, instead of interfering and bombing the peace cities and villages, to force and kill the civilian population of others country, could make a peacefully agreement  with the Ukrainian representatives. And offer them the price, or an equivalent exchange of territories.
    As it was in India, where Muslim and Hindu communities were at enmity. And after the section, there was Pakistan, which for the same reason was divided, and there was Bangladesh. It is necessary to put these villains, the launched war and arranged human accident, face to face with these people. That the all victims, could spit in their blood-thirsty and ugly faces.

    There are some russian army units ( such as artillery, military intelligence, instructors, snipers, etc), volunteers from russia( citizens of russia, they fights for money ) and local pro-russian fans( which fights for money ) fights with Ukrainian army / Ukrainian National Guard and Ukrainian volunteers (which now is joining into army). Also russia supplies to fake "rebels" equipment, weaponry even which Ukraine never had in its army. At the same time russia conducting propaganda to hide this facts. They will never admit guilt. To be sure of this just remember story with cold war USSR and USA. USSR for a long time not admit there guilt of there positions of nuclear weapon on Cuba.

    Intensification of conflict will reduce any chance of decreasing sanctions on Russia. Skirmishes will continue, but will probably not escalate.

    Western democracy or eastern control, both are the root of all this evil. We all have to choose between them…I choose none. May God help the people of my country for we are in the mix as well.

Five years on from the Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan | BBC News

Published

on



It has been five years since the Taliban retook control of Afghanistan, as western forces left, imposing their extreme, ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam on millions of people.

Their return to power brought relative peace to the country after two decades of war.

But Afghan women have been erased from public life. Girls are banned from school from the age of 12, and aren’t allowed to go to university.

Public parks are also off limits to women – and they can’t travel abroad without a male companion.
