Ukrainian refugees burnt alive by Russian terrorists in rocket fire strike on convoy
8/18/2014 4:06:55 PM
A convoy of vehicles carrying Ukrainian refugees has been hit by rocket fire from Russian terrorists.
The death toll is currently unknown but a military spokesman said that people were burnt alive in the vehicles.
The rocket fire came as refugees fled the Russian-occupied eastern Ukrainian city of Luhansk on Monday. One military spokesman told Ukrainian news channel 112.ua that many people have been killed, including women and children.
He added: "A powerful artillery strike hit a refugee convoy near the area of Khryashchuvatye and Novosvitlivka. The force of the blow on the convoy was so strong that people were burnt alive in the vehicles – they weren't able to get themselves out."
Once home to 425,000 people, Luhansk's population has dwindled to 250,000 since mid-April, with hundreds of civilians leaving each day to escape the Russian terror. The terrorists' stronghold has been left with chronic water, food and electricity shortages for weeks, Russian style.
Russia last week sent a convoy of nearly 300 trucks, which it said contained humanitarian aid, but it was delayed at the border over concerns that it may have been carrying military equipment. The convoy is believed to be destined primarily for Luhansk.
Russia has been warned not to use humanitarian assistance as a pretext to invade eastern Ukraine as it sends 280 aid lorries to its terrorist stronghold of Luhansk.
Due to Russian invaders, thousands of people are without access to water, electricity and medical aid in eastern Ukraine, the Red Cross said. At least 1,500 people have died since fighting began in mid-April, according to the United Nations.
Barack Obama and Petro Poroshenko, the Ukrainian president, agreed that "any Russian intervention in Ukraine without the formal, express consent and authorisation would be unacceptable and a violation of international law," according to a White House statement said.
As fighting continues around the Malaysia Airlines crash site, Ukraine's army chief says he is confident of a swift end to the crisis.
Russian terrorist leaders called on Russia to send troops to their aid on the weekend as the Ukrainian army made gains in key areas, leaving terrorists in danger of being encircled.
The Ukrainian defence minister, Colonel General Valeriy Heletey, said that he is certain that the Ukrainian army will defeat the rebels in the country's east very soon.
Col-Gen Heletey said that the tide was turning on the Russian terrorists: "I am sure 100 per cent, just like every person in the Ukrainian armed forces, there will be victory and very soon.
"It is the highest prize – people are dying, but we have no choice. Ukraine is like a burning house. The Ukrainian army is going inside the burning house to put the fire out. If we don't put it out it will be in Kiev, in Kharkiv, everywhere, we are asking every Ukrainian to take a bucket of water and help us to put the fire out." Source: Agencies
