Ukraine conflict: Rebel posters call on locals, but they’ve fled

THE 1950s Soviet style rallying posters put up across the usually busy boulevards and roads in Donetsk call on locals to join the separatist fight.

“Join the People’s Army of Donetsk People’s Republic and repeat the successes of your grandfathers”, they declare.

But there is barely anyone there to read them.

Locals have instead fled the east Ukrainian city, with more than half of its population of one million fleeing across the border to Russia, creating a humanitarian crisis.

Russia has admitted it is struggling with the flood of refugees who have made the 40km dash to the border since hostilities broke out in April.

“Since April 1, more than 515,000 people have arrived from southeastern Ukraine,” said the head of Russia’s migration service (FMS), Konstantin Romodanovsky.

The influx has become a burden for southern Russian regions that border Ukraine, in particular Rostov.

Authorities have organised 400 refugee camps to offer temporary accommodation, and so far running the facilities has been up to local authorities, stretching their capacities to the limit.

Rostov region Governor Vassily Golubev said about 2000 people a day were arriving.

“Rostov and other frontline regions are working at maximum capacity,” said Ella Pamfilova, who heads President Vladimir Putin’s human rights council. “They do everything possible — both the authorities and the volunteers ... but the problems will only get worse.”

Lol...
Keep trying...
It is quite funny to watch your spin. It’s like when my kid was younger. Quite cute.

Yes exactly as I said Russian media made the claim, and if you believe whatever Russians say and are a Kremlin mouthpiece like tcrlaf, then you will repeat it and call people names who point out that Russians always lie.

As the more realistic and reliable source Jane’s points out, it could havevactually been supplied by Russia.

But tcrlaf’s goal is to absolve the Russians and cover up their crimes, so he repeats their propaganda shamelessly and insults anyone who casts doubt on it.

You post Voice of Russia as proof of the lies you have been repeating here for days???

Does your wife check your computer activity???

[Tailgunner Joe]

You’re not funny at all. You’re a repulsive piece of garbage.

[tcrlaf]

Blah,blah, blah...

[Tailgunner Joe]

Of course Moscow is the source of his claim, just like Moscow is the source of everything he posts here.

[Tailgunner Joe]

You are the Voice of Moscow.

[tcrlaf]

Any more child-like insults you’d like to throw out there?
I’m keeping a list.

[McGruff]

Have you stopped beating your wife?

[Uncle Chip]

These are your words aren’t they:

“Because I knew, despite the denials of Kiev, and the likes of you, that the rebels had over-run the AA regiment in Donetsk, and likely had at least one of these....”

Moscow is the source of this report that you have been pushing here for 10 days and you have the audacity to come on here today and try to distance yourself from Moscow —

Your lies don’t fly, Igor —

[Tailgunner Joe]

It’s not an insult, it’s the truth. Moscow speaks through your voice.

[Uncle Chip]

How’s the weather in Moscow today???

[tcrlaf]

LOL... You sir, are a Moron.

If “Moscow speaks through your voice.”, I’d be pimping THIS line, which is intended to muddy the waters, no doubt:

But, I’m not. Because I have been PAYING ATTENTION.
And you are obviously far too intellectually dishonest to notice.

[Uncle Chip]

These are your words aren’t they:

And they are also part of the Moscow line that you have been pimping here for 10 days aren’t they.

[Tailgunner Joe]

Wow, another link to more Russian lies, just like everything you post. Yeah, posting that crap really proves you're not a Kremlin mouthpiece, and don't want to muddy the waters, even though you know your fellow Putinistas will take that link and run with it, just like they do with all the other lies you post.

[tcrlaf]

Let me guess. I was on the grassy knoll, right??

You are one FUNNY troll!
