Eva Bartlett in Donbass - the horror they suffered under Ukrainian attack

Eva writes Sergey, a refugee from Artyomovsk spoke to Christelle Néant (Donbass Insider) & myself in late April about the horrors which he & 16 other civilians endured on April 11, when Ukrainian forces deliberately blew up the ground floor of their apartment building, burying the civilians sheltering in the basement below, killing 7 civilians (including one child) immediately. He & other civilians we interviewed spoke of “White Angels“, Ukrainian military police, abducting children, and how civilians were hiding their children in cold basements to keep them from being snatched & taken away. [See this video] They also spoke of media, including foreign journalists, being present immediately after Ukrainian shelling in the summer of 2022. According to Sergey, some of the media paid Ukrainian forces to shell. “They needed a picture. They paid to claim that the Russian army were shelling. Sometimes we would hear them outside laughing ’Oh, its so good what we filmed today!’“ In Syria, journalists with Western media likewise appeared immediately after alleged Russian or Syrian strikes, to film incriminating scenes to accuse Syria and Russia of war crimes. Further, those journalists could only have worked with the permission of the al-Qaeda or other terrorists controlling the areas in which they filmed. A key example of staging “bombing” scenes was exposed in the documentary, The Veto, by Syrian journalist Rafiq Lutf & British journalist Vanessa Beeley.
