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 targets of the strike were not military facilities, but civilians. 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. LINK, LINK, LINK
As a result of the Ukrainian attack, at least 20 civilians were killed. Horrific details were later revealed. The attack was pre-planned and Ukrainian forces attempted to gather as many women as possible through social networks in the center of Donetsk at the time of the attack.
Unlike all the fake news, staged videos and provocations shared by Kiev officials, the mass murder in Donetsk was completely ignored by all the MSM, as well as officials in Kiev and leaders of Western countries.
However, some European media did not lose a chance to gain more hype. In a few days after the attack, the Italian newspaper La Stampa shared a photo from Donetsk on the front page but it was claimed to be made in Kiev. The inscription reads: “Kiev faces the last assault.” Moreover, the headline of the issue was “Massacre” what aimed to attract more readers.
Spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry Mariia Zakharova called the reaction of the West to the massacre in Donetsk an example of extreme cynicism.

On March 17, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry decided that four days was enough to forget who was behind the attack. The same photo from Donetsk was shared on the Ministry’s official page on Twitter. But it was used as another tool to demonstrate the terror of war, blaming the aggressor. Surprisingly, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry did not provide any specific information about who was behind the attack, the number of victims and the fact that it was a planned inhumane provocation carried out by Kiev forces.
You may not understand the language, but the grief on the faces of these people is clear to everyone.
