Ukraine Russia crisis: Separatists order evacuations amid worst shelling in eastern Ukraine in years

ro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine's breakaway regions ordered the evacuation of civilians to Russia Friday, accusing Ukraine of planning a large military offensive against the two self-declared republics.

The restive eastern part of the country has witnessed the worst shelling in years over the last two days. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said Friday that shelling of Ukrainian territory from areas controlled by separatists had risen dramatically in the past day.

Each side accuses the other of heavy shelling of civilian areas. Ukrainian authorities say there were 60 breaches of the ceasefire Thursday, many of them by heavy weapons.

The Ukrainian government denies that it is planning any offensive in the east, accusing the separatists of launching a "disinformation campaign."

Authorities in the breakaway states of Donetsk and Luhansk said they were organizing the evacuations. Leonid Pasechnik, the most senior official in the pro-Russian breakaway Luhansk People's Republic, urged men to take up arms.

"The Russian Federation is ready to provide organized reception and accommodation on its territory of residents of the Luhansk People's Republic," said Pasechnik. "Once again, I appeal to all men who are able to hold weapons in their hands, to defend their land."

Scuttlebut is this is ALL MSM/Cabal false flag. The whole war scenario.

Those in Ukraine near the border have known about all this huffing and puffing, seeing no evidence locally of what they see in the ‘news’.

If you want to assure that Ukraine does not apply for NATO admission, just have the US withdraw from NATO. None of the Eastern European nations recently admitted to NATO were under the disillusion that Western Europe would come to their defense if the US was not a NATO member. They are there because we are there. NATO is useless without the US and both Western and Eastern Europe know that.

There are interviews available with people who have travelled from Kiev to Kharkov who say it’s all laughable crap, but don’t tell that to Joe’s pals here on FR, who ignore our southern border but get dog stiffies to defend Ukraine.

“...shelling of Ukrainian territory from areas controlled by separatists had risen dramatically in the past day...”

Is “separatists” another name for American CIA?
