“This is just genocide, and not the ATO!” – testimonies of refugees from Donbass (VIDEO)
Kyiv - Rostov - On - Don, June 09 (Navigator, Sergey Rulev) - The military operation of the Ukrainian army in the Donbass cannot in any way be considered “anti-terrorist”, since civilians are suffering from shells and missiles. What is happening in the Lugansk and Donetsk regions is more reminiscent of the genocide of its own population.
This was stated to a Navigator correspondent by refugees from Donbass, with whom they managed to communicate in one of the structural divisions of the Federal Migration Service of the Russian Federation in the Rostov region. Their evidence can be used in the White Book of War Crimes, the creation of which was recently announced in the Russian Federation.

“The Ukrainian army is purposefully simply exterminating the population of the Lugansk region. They use weapons that no one uses civilians. Checkpoints that serve a defensive function do not capture anyone, but they are bombed using a heavy operation.
I think this is just genocide, not ATO. What is "terrorism"? Hostage taking, ransom demands, some preferences. But the people of Donbass do not demand anything other than a peaceful life. They don’t want a fascist to trample this land again,” said Alexander from Lugansk.
“This is natural fascism!” – an older countrywoman agrees with him.
“They should cease fire and not mock people. This is simply not normal. All human rights and freedoms have been violated. People cannot defend their right to live on their land. The army specifically destroys people with weapons. This is a punitive army operation,” says Donbass resident Konstantin.
“This is complete outrage. Fascism, you can’t call it anything else. They bomb without warning anyone. I definitely say that it was a bombing of the Lugansk Regional State Administration. Our militia does not have planes. Natural terror, fascism,” argues Lugansk resident Nikolai.
“When the bomb was dropped, my sister’s ex-husband was there, near the Regional State Administration. He was wounded in four places. He just sat next to me and rested. This is not an ATO, but genocide,” confirms another resident of Lugansk, Vlad.
Mikhail from the city of Krasny Liman recalls the bombing of the city, which was started by combat helicopters on June 3 at 5 am. This happened after the Ukrainian army was unable to take one of the checkpoints with armored personnel carriers.
“Then they bombed houses and hospitals throughout the day. We found a shell fragment in the courtyard of a neighboring house. And the next day, 2 blanks with leaflets arrived in the post office area - this is how they distribute them,” says Mikhail.
