Now for the latest update…Ukraine Relief Update #10
As most of the world enjoys the festive holidays there are others who are not blessed with peace and goodwill. This definitely applies to those in Ukraine. During this holiday season there are still briefings and updates that continue to be received. These briefings describe the most difficult trials for over one million in Ukraine who are displaced and trying to survive winter’s cruelties.
Media reports reveal the horrible conditions that most readers cannot comprehend. A FTP report, copied at the end of this update, details comments of residents in a village on the front lines of combat: “People cannot digest what horrors have happened here.” “My home has burnt down…What have I lived for? In one day you can just lose everything.”
The cause of this suffering is the invasion and occupation of Russian forces (its military troops, anarchists, and mercenaries). And the Russian savage evil presence continues. Some try to explain this evil away, but it is a certain fact. Some try to shift the blame away from Russia, but it is a laughable naiveté that betrays one’s eagerness to accept Putin’s propaganda that Russia has acted for “the best interests of Ukraine.”
There is indisputable evidence that Russia has invaded, supplied, murdered, and destroyed eastern Ukraine. Although most information is not available to the public there are media reports that are being published that reveal what is actually happening in Russia’s evil machinations in Ukraine.
A report by Maxim Shemetov (REUTERS) shows how Russia is leading the evil forces in destroying the peace and security of Ukraine.
Pro-Russian separatists from the Chechen “Death” battalion walk during a training exercise in the territory controlled by the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, eastern Ukraine. Chanting “Allahu Akbar” (God is greatest), dozens of armed men in camouflage uniforms from Russia’s republic of Chechnya train in snow in a camp in the rebel-held east Ukraine. They say their “Death” unit fighting Ukrainian forces has 300 people, mostly former state security troops in the mainly-Muslim region where Moscow waged two wars against Islamic insurgents and which is now run by a Kremlin-backed strongman.
