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

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

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. With all this technology and we are all still sleeping, Russia, America really what's the difference … may God have mercy on our souls.
