[RodinaNaNeve] Donetsk is being bombed again this morning. After three relatively calm days, the calmness of which from the very beginning did not say anything. The bombing began at five in the morning, and the awakened residents of the city, having opened the windows, immediately felt the smell of burning. The morning smell, to which they have already become accustomed.

This has been going on for more than two months - it feels like six months. Artillery terror, which began in early July, after NATO gifts arrived to the Ukrainian fascists. Long-range guns, self-propelled guns and MLRS. And also modified missiles for the BM-27 Urugan MLRSs, with which they sow residential areas with Petal anti-personnel mines. All this from the very beginning is used very little for military purposes. The main task of these weapons in this war is genocide. They are doing it.

Grandma is a choreographer. Granddaughter is a little ballerina. One taught children to dance all her life, the other was preparing for a ballet competition in St. Petersburg. Their husband and grandfather identified their wife and granddaughter from fragments of clothing. Because there was nothing more to identify.

And today again Donetsk clenched his teeth and fists, accepting what is happening. And what is left for him? No one in a million-strong agglomeration has any idea when all this will end. He doesn't even know the prospects. A certain offensive by “small forces” that recently began on the Donetsk sector of the front, which so reassured everyone, seems to freeze in a pause. After the recent capture of Peski (an event that is undoubtedly positive), it is completely unclear whether we are talking about some kind of development of this success.

And without it (without resetting the enemy battery positions in Pervomaisky, Orlovka, Netaylovo), there can be no question of stopping the shelling of the agglomeration. It's not even about Avdiyivka - it's not so active now. We are talking about these new positions, from where 90 percent of the fire on the cities of Donbass comes from. But there is no news from there. Yes, they have nowhere to come from - military men are no longer allowed to go to the front. As they say, thanks guys. The bow is low.

And so these two months of horror continue. Day after day. An endless series of terrible pictures of the bloody theater of the absurd. One of the most memorable is what happened on the day when they fired at the funeral of Korsa (Colonel of the People's Militia of the DPR Olga Kachura, Hero of the DPR, known under the call sign "Korsa" - approx. ed.). Maybe ten days ago. And maybe more. I stopped counting the days. Time has long stopped in Donetsk.

Then, on the central pedestrian boulevard, right in the center of the city, a grandmother and granddaughter were killed. Grandma is a choreographer. Granddaughter is a little ballerina. One taught children to dance all her life, the other was preparing for a ballet competition in St. Petersburg. Their husband and grandfather identified their wife and granddaughter from fragments of clothing. Because there was nothing else to identify - a 155-mm shell turned them into bloody minced meat, which was smeared all over Pushkinsky Boulevard.

In the truest sense of the word, guys. This is not a metaphor. Then the Donetsk TG channels posted one of the last photos of this girl in a tutu. I don't know what her name is. I have long forbidden myself to know their names. Just not to die. Also in the truest sense of the word. For me, for a long time they are all - Kira and Christina Zhuk.

And this goes on and on. Death, death, death. That's just not necessary to condole with the Donbass. He doesn't need your sympathy. Donbass is sick of him. Donbass needs to stop killing its people, and stop shooting its cities at direct fire. In the meantime, it is not very clear how this is combined with the “war with small forces”, which is not a war at all, but a “special operation”. And for this you just need to start conducting this "special operation" in earnest. In full. Total war is not defeated by strange, leaky political games, the price of which is such girls and their grandmothers. And entire cities of millions are held hostage. Every day. Week after week. Month after month.

And against the background of this, the Crimea is slowly lighting up. And also “dear partners”, who are now either being denazified, or making “goodwill gestures” to them, they are hitting the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant with the same NATO howitzers that smash Donetsk. I'm wondering - is this already a "red line" or not yet? What else is needed to fully realize that it is not the enemy and not the enemy that is against us, but the infernal creatures from the underworld, which must be thrown back into hell, otherwise everything around us will become hell?

But this is not so easy to do. It's not that easy anymore. Do you know why? What is the reason for the fact that peaceful people are now dying, and cities are burning, and the enemy turned out to be “somewhat stronger” than expected?

This is the price of "Minsk".

That's it. The one that has been warned for years. Moreover, this price was paid from the very beginning, it just became so monstrously obvious now.

The one who considered this price acceptable for eight years, and, moreover, considers it as such even now, expresses the loudest that very “sympathy” that Donbass doesn’t need for hell. Depicts a grimace of grief in public and drops crocodile tears. But this is a lie. Behind all their mournful mines there is nothing but cynicism and indifference.

I repeat - Donbass does not need your "sympathy". He needs release. In deliverance from suffering. And there is only one way to do this - by exterminating the Nazis. In the truest sense of the word. Seriously.

Not "small forces". The alternative here is the “final solution of the Russian question,” and not just the fate of Donbass. The termination of any filthy agreements with them, with the help of which they have been carefully nurtured and nourished for all these eight years. And then they completely pulled them out from under the blow, saving them with exchanges instead of a bullet in the back of the head.

Those who did this are guilty of the current monstrous bloody performance no less than the Ukrainian fascists themselves. Which I call so in the truest sense of the word. And which in some places already outdo their predecessors.

Meanwhile, the harvest continues. The price of "Minsk" continues to be charged. Not from those who arranged them. How much longer will this last? I don't know.

Apparently, until the realization comes: total war is defeated only by total war. And they don't negotiate with the fascists.

#1 Does this drivel really help understand world events? A guy whose tongue is so far up Putin's behind he serves as his official food taster is whining about civilian casualties in the war Putin started, and everyone is a "fascist".

#2 Gosh,, I bet this horrible nightmare has something to do with the invasion by those nasty fascists of Russian soil back in February.
If those nasty Ukrainians had submitted peacefully none of this would have happened. So it is all their fault. And they can send their women and children out of the country to avoid such terrors. How unfair to us.
