A cease-fire was planned in the strategic Ukrainian port city of Mariupol and in Volnovakha on Saturday morning to allow for humanitarian evacuations. But the life-saving effort stalled amid reports that Russian shelling continued.

Meanwhile, Russian media outlet RIA Novosti carried a claim from Russia's defense ministry that the firing came from inside both communities against Russian positions.

Heavy fighting has raged for days in Mariupol. At a hospital, one father was seen sobbing over the body of his 16-year-old son — deaths that could have been prevented, Ukraine insists, if NATO enforced a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

A false flag operation is an act committed with the intent of disguising the actual source of responsibility and pinning blame on another party.

Seems to me that the situation is just too chatoic for the ceasefire/evacuation to be effected.

Too many moving parts.

Both cities are just west of the Donetsk separatist region, and they have been centers of UA and militia activity against the separatists.

Civilians should have gotten out long ago.

Ok. Russia expands it’s borders by taking Ukraine. Then NATO missiles will be up against the overlords anyway. I suppose the Ruskies will have to keep marching to take all of Eastern and Western Europe. What could possibly go wrong? Lebensraum anyone?
