Donetsk - Kyiv, January 21 (PolitNavigator, Mikhail Ryabov) - Massive shelling of residential areas by Ukrainian artillery continues in Donetsk, resulting in massive deaths of civilians. All supporters of continuing the war, supporting the actions of the Ukrainian authorities, together with officials are committing a crime for which there will be no forgiveness.
This is stated in the statement of the “Civil Initiative of Donbass” - an association of the intelligentsia of Donetsk - engineers, historians, political scientists, journalists, scientists, etc.

“For several days in a row, shots from artillery, cannons, mortars and multiple launch rocket systems have been destroying its streets and neighborhoods, residential buildings and businesses, schools, kindergartens and hospitals.
It hurts to see how beautiful Donetsk is covered with wounds and scars. How defenseless a peaceful city is in front of a war machine that knows no pity.
Donetsk is being killed these days. For real. And like any living thing, taking blows, he bleeds. This is real blood, not fake. The blood of its inhabitants: ordinary Donetsk residents who became hostages of a military conflict on their land, including old people, women, and children.
Today's events force everyone to make a choice.
We, who are dying under shots and explosions, suffocating in fires, shielding children from bullets and shrapnel with our bodies, do not need hypocritical marches for peace.
We can't be bought with fake mournful faces.
We cannot be intimidated by fists clenched in hellish anger.
Today we see everything with our own eyes.
Where are the shells coming from that are destroying our city?
Where they announce a new mobilization, which forces our brothers to come to us with weapons and become murderers.
Where they say that the territory in which we live is more important than our lives, and, therefore, our death is justified and useful.
You can not do it this way.
This should not be the case in a state that equates its actions according to the canons of Christian and universal morality.
This should not be the case in a developed society, which does not live in the depths of cannibalistic centuries, but is counting down the XNUMXst century on the calendar.
This should not be the case in a country that lived peacefully a year ago, but today is thrown by despicable politicians into the grinder of civil conflict that benefits only them.
We turn to them.
Look around. By pushing us into the abyss, you fall into it with us.
Your actions, your deeds and crimes will be cursed by your descendants.
The blood on your hands is all that people will remember about you. You will go down in history as executioners and murderers.
Think again. The earthly journey ends for everyone. And the one who died on the street, exposing his chest to flying fragments. And the one who gives up the ghost in a warm bed, remembering before his death how he gave the order to shoot.
We all face inevitable retribution for our actions.
It is not too late to ensure that the sin of murder does not burden the soul and conscience in the last days.
The “Civil Initiative of Donbass” calls on everyone on whom it depends to stop the count of those killed and injured in this unnecessary war. Immediately resume negotiations in any possible formats. Agree on ways to continue the peaceful dialogue.
Do it. Otherwise, history will do this work for you,” says the statement received by the editors of PolitNavigator.
