Independent (UK) - Runs a propaganda article on East Ukrainian independence supporters

Some biased reporting going on here, in the guise of a bit of Sunday war infotainment with pics.

The East Ukrainian independence supporters are portrayed as summary executioners.

Fighting's taken more than 1,500 lives, they report.  

Yeah, but Not-so-Independent does not mention that the Ukraine government is firing at East Ukraine, including the civilians, or what they're firing -- including ballistic missiles.  

No mention of targeted destruction by Ukraine government.

No mention of sly lifting of Ukraine arms ban.

Nor does it mention that US puppet Poroshenko refused to extend a ceasefire, with US blessings.

Not-so-Independent is also pathetic captioning this photo:

'destroyed by fightings between ...". 

As if the East Ukraine independence supporters are aiming at their own people.

The same applies to the photo of the senior citizen looking out the window of her 'damaged house'.  Again, it's left unsaid that Poroshenko can take credit for that.

That would be the work of Poroshenko and his US puppet government's actions.

Ultimately, the US can take a bow for the destruction in East Ukraine. 

 

UKRAINE GOVT - BALLISTIC MISSILES, TARGETED DESTRUCTION OF EAST UKRAINE

Ukrainian Army’s Shelling Interrupts TV, Radio Broadcast in Donetsk 08:15 03/08/2014 DONETSK, August 3 (RIA Novosti) - Television broadcast was interrupted in eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk due to Ukrainian army’s artillery shelling of the city, a representative from Donetsk People’s Republic’s television and radio committee told RIA Novosti. “Ukrainian aviation carried out an artillery assault against the power station in Mandrykyne [southern suburb of Donetsk.] The power station was severely damaged, another 220 stations went down shortly after. One of them powered TV aerial in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. As a result, TV broadcast stopped in Donetsk, as well as the broadcast of 70 percent of radio stations,” the committee’s representative told RIA Novosti. On Saturday, at least three people were killed in artillery shelling in the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. The shells hit a school and a local power station. According to the committee’s representative, “this was obviously not a random shelling, but there is a targeted destruction of key positions, as it was previously done in Luhansk.” The committee’s representative added that they foresaw such development of the events and arranged two reserve radio transmitting stations. In mid-July, Donetsk authorities ordered to halt the broadcast of Ukrainian TV channels replacing them with Russian ones. At the moment, Radio Republic, official radio station of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic, is broadcasting in the region. While TV broadcast is unavailable, but the repair work is underway. Ukraine’s government troops have used ballistic missiles against independence supporters in the country’s east. CNN reported citing US officials earlier this week that Ukraine’s government troops used short-range ballistic missiles in the east. The weapons have a range of about 50 miles and pack warheads of up to 1,000 pounds. SOURCE - RIA Novosti - here.

The courage of those that are willing to stand their ground and fight, even with ballistic missiles raining down, amazes me.
