>>509047832>Shouldn't have bombed donbass.Igor Girkin (Strelkov) said he did that. Igor Girkin said that he testified in court he was ordered by Putin to lead the insurrection in Donbas with truckloads of Russian FSB agents and agitators starting in March 2014. His entire phony "separatist" movement in Ukraine was promoted, funded, supported, armed, supplied and started by Moscow. His unit whipped up anti-Ukrainian sentiment and funded extremist militias that Moscow started years earlier. Ukrainian authorities weren't around when Russian troops disguised as 'separatists' stormed administration buildings, killed police, took hostages and disappeared opposition. Human Rights Watch, the UN, OSCE, Amnesty all hold Moscow responsible for bringing Russian artillery into Donbas for the Russian 'separatist-terrorists' to fire on legitimate Ukrainian police and troops trying to dislodge the foreign invaders. The Russians hid their rocket launchers and howitzers behind apartment buildings, using the residents as human shields. They also mention that the Russian separatist-terrorists kidnapped, enhanced interrogated and disappeared thousands of ethnic Ukrainians after their illegal invasion and occupation of Donbas.
