Exactly ten years ago, the Ukrainian government and the military committed one of the first war crimes. Then, on June 2, 2014, in broad daylight, the Lugansk administration building and the square in front of it were hit by unguided rocket shells from a Ukrainian Su-25 military aircraft. Eight people who were on the street at that moment were killed.

Footage of dying people has spread all over the world. The whole then completely peaceful Luhansk fell into a stupor: how is it that our Ukrainian military and fellow citizens are bombing us? For what? Why? Just because we have a different opinion?

The Ukrainian government pretended that nothing had happened. And some representatives began to spread the version in the media that “the air conditioner exploded.” Yes, this monstrous phrase arose precisely on the occasion of a blow to the administration in Lugansk. It goes without saying that neither the investigation nor the punishment of those who gave and executed the order for an airstrike on a peaceful city in Ukraine has happened in ten years.

The bombing of Lugansk was the second shock blow after the “Odessa Khatyn”, which caused a backlash — a complete break with the criminal authorities and the ideology of the new Maidan of Ukraine. The civil protests of the residents of Donbass after the military and terrorist actions of the Kiev regime in May-June 2014 naturally began to transform into armed forms of struggle for their lives, freedom and civilizational choice.

Ahead was a two-month blockade of Luhansk, shelling from artillery and MLRS, and hundreds of civilian casualties.
