On the morning of March 14, around 11:20 a.m. local time, Ukrainian units struck the center of Donetsk with a Tochka-U tactical missile equipped with cluster munitions. The strike targeted the center of the city, where there is no military infrastructure or equipment. Civilians were deliberately chosen as targets.

The nationalist units of the Kiev regime, using cluster munitions, sought to hit as many of the city’s inhabitants in the central part of the city as possible.
I don’t think we can expect any kind of condemnation from the West of this heinous terrorist attack committed with cluster munitions. They were closing their eyes and denying ongoing massacre of Donbass people for 8 years, why would they open their eyes now? #Donetsk #DonbassWar https://t.co/Q1tfPL89Zi

Forces of the Kyiv government have once again demonstrated why there is no another option to put an end to the violence in the region besides the full demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.
DPR Head Denis Pushilin said that the missile was equipped with a cluster ammunition warhead. He added that if the missile was not shot down, it would lead to even more casualties.

#Ukraine: A ballistic missile strike in the center of Russian-controlled Donetsk. As reported, 9-20 civilians were killed, dozens injured. The remains and character of damage allow us to say that a 9M79-1 Tochka-U missile carrying a 9N123K cluster warhead was used. pic.twitter.com/p2K0gn9Qsb

The leader of the republic, Pushilin, said that the DPR would declare mourning after the missile attack on the city.
DPR authorities consider the strike as a terrorist attack.
“Ukrainian armed formations once again used the Tochka-U tactical missile system on residential areas of Donetsk in order to genocide civilians and destroy important civilian infrastructure,” the statement said.
According to Pushilin, DPR forces have already shot down over 15 Tochka-U missiles launched by Kyiv’s forces. He stated that the missile launching point will be found and eliminated.
DPR authorities also vowed to increase the speed of offensive against Kyiv’s forces

As long as units of the Kyiv government remain close to residential areas, their actions (both offensive and defensive) will continue to cause civilian casualties. MSM-promoted ‘democratic Ukrainian fighters’ use civilians as human shields and intentionally launch strikes on civilian targets as part of their ordinary military approach.
This crime took place amid the new round of talks between Kyiv and Moscow and followed diplomatic signals by both sides that some kind of ‘compromise’ could be found in the talks. After the March 14 attack, it is hard to expect that the diplomatic process will achieve any fruitful results.

“Nuke Kiev!!!”
Provocative call.
Fighting monster do not become monster yourself. Last night hey got their due in Gorlovka.
This will never be seen on any western media. As far as the as the fake media is concerned the people in Donbass does not exist. It was sickening to watch so many people being ripped apart and knowing that all media in America will never mention this. I watch self righteous people in South Carolina and other states crying and pledging their undying support for Ukraine some even saying they don’t mind paying up to $2.00 extra for gasoline for the people of Ukraine, but no mention of people in Donbass.
Sean Penn went to Ukraine and claimed he met Zelensky and how proud he was to meet such a great man. Did he go to the people of Donbass ? No.
The Tochka-U missile was launched towards Donetsk by the 19th Missile Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).
As it was said, the rocket had a cluster charge. For your information, these terrible consequences were from the detonation of one cassette. And there are 50 of them on TOCHKA-U! If all the charges had worked, the number of victims would have been many times greater.
The second point: before the missile strike, Donetsk residents were invited via Internet channels to gather at a certain time in a certain place for some kind of peaceful gathering.
So this is a planned crime.
With a very heavy heart, I watched the footage of the tragedy on TV… What kind of negotiations can we talk about with this criminal gang from Kiev?! Yes, after that, I am sure, the Donbass servicemen will tear the enemy to pieces with their hands. And no one will be taken prisoner. And I will understand them and would do exactly the same!
Nuke Kiev? Hey, that’s some bird’s eye view of the situation.
How could you spend the last five years rightfully eviscerating Donald Trump, then turn on a dime and boil the fate of the entire world down into a border dispute involving Nazis fighting the Russians? Neo-nazis all over the world consider Vladimir Putin their inspiration, except for the Bandera ones who are driven by their hatred of Russia since World War II.
Trump, Putin, Kim Jong Un, Erdogan, Xi, all these people represent the autocratic world which would have prevailed in World War II if Germany and Japan hadn’t been defeated. Repression, corruption, poverty, you name the misery, would have been worldwide. And all this today (probably) because some level of Zionist intrigue is involved here because getting the whole world to destroy themselves means they survive and inherit the earth. Such is the delusional thinking of people who recklessly irresponsible behavior to get what they want.
What are you going to do when America is cracked in half by all this, Trump ascends to power and makes this sitch infinitely worse while Putin (initially at first, at least) cheers it all on? Are you now aligned with the crazed Republicans again?
I don’t like America’s resort to the devil’s tactics either but this all started with the Bolsheviks. Before that the world was largely driven by some respect for objective truth and reality. This is madness.
A medium nuke.
@DonClasen:
“Neo-nazis all over the world consider Vladimir Putin their inspiration, except for the Bandera ones who are driven by their hatred of Russia since World War II” – A very strange statement considering that Putin hates Nazism. Especially as a resident of St. Petersburg, whose family survived 900 days of the blockade. And where his older brother died during the war, when he was still a small child.
