Thank you for this tragic news.
OSCE daily reports note the absence of a myriad of heavy weaponry from Ukrainian army depots. The Western media never mention this in their reporting of the conflict.
The war crimes of neo-Nazi battalions such as Azov have been well documented. The U.S. supplied ''defensive'' heavy weapons that have found their way into the hands of the Ukrainian armed forces, which Azoz regiment is a part of, include the following:
grenade launchers, sniper rifles, armoured cars and anti-tank weapons. This is part of the $350 million dollar package that Trump is sending to Ukraine under the terms of the 2018 National Defence Authorization Act.
Let me ask readers: Is all of this weaponry going to help stablize the situation and bring about a cessation of hostilities as demanded by the Minsk Peace accords?
Will the Russian hating ultra nationalists in Ukraine's government see these U.S. supplied weapons as giving them the edge they need to step up their attacks upon Donestsk and Lugansk?

The U.S. and its NATO allies stand complicit in the deaths of thousands by their support of the Kiev Junta with weapons and money.
