[NorseViking #46] Where have you been for 8 years when Ukraine was killing 14,000 people in Donbas?[Belteshazzar #48] What are your sources for this 14,000 number? Give the links. Or, if not on the net, give the citations.

I also found the NorseViking link at #46 to be noted as without textual content at this time.
