On May 26 the Kiev junta abruptly intensified the combat actions as the punitive operation against Donbass proceeded. It was the first time when front-line aviation and artillery delivered strikes to destroy houses in the populated areas of the Donetsk region. The fighting was raging during the whole day near the city’s airport. Donetsk has population of some 1 million people. Attack helicopters and SU-25 fighters fired at the Donetsk People’s Republic self-defense formations deployed inside the city… Repeating the events in Kramatorsk, the Ukrainian army used the UN-marked Mi-24 rotary wing aircraft. According to international law, only the UN international forces have a right to use the organization’s insignia.

At that the United Nations Organization appears to turn a blind eye and deaf ear on the military crimes and egregious violations of international norms regularly committed by the junta. Asked about UN-marked helicopters seen in Ukraine on May 23, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, said the United Nations had made its concerns known to the Government of Ukraine about its obligations concerning the use of equipment provided to United Nations peacekeeping operations. He said the information on using UN markings by Ukrainian rotary wing aircraft was not confirmed at the time. A host of video clips to serve as evidence and available to everyone who has access to Internet were not convincing enough for UN officials who dance to the tune played by the White House.

International human rights organizations and Western governments never expressed indignation on account of military crimes the junta committed. For instance, a grenade launcher was used against a truck transporting those who were injured in combat. As a witness reports, «First snipers killed the driver, then the truck was directly hit by a grenade launcher. They used rifles to make sure no one was left alive». Another example – Neo-Nazi used vehicles with Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors without Borders international medical humanitarian organization) markings for combat actions aimed at quelling the people’s resistance.

The combat area goes much farther beyond the airport area. The Putilov Bridge was exploded, the TochMash Factory in Donetsk suffered great damage. The junta forces attacked the Donetsk railway station. They opened fire as the train approached making people run along the rails for their lives. The combat area is situated near living quarters; any shooting there is doomed to damage the people’s homes. The houses situated on Pyatnitskaya, Gradostroitel and Artiom streets and a dormitory were damaged, a bread-baking plant caught fire...

Ukrainian chasteners make civilians suffer most. A few women and a parking lot worker were shot near the Donetsk railway station, an eight years old boy was killed near the airport. It’s not artillery shells only. Neo-Nazi never stop, they use small arms to shoot at people like they did in Novoaydar when a few cars were fired upon as they were riding packed with people.
Donbass is facing a humanitarian disaster. Hospitals are overcrowded, they are running short on blood supplies and the necessary medical equipment.
