In reply to the discussion: The continued shelling of civilians by Ukrainian forces is ethnic cleansing. [View all]another_liberal

There has been no end to the attacks, as is noted in the excerpts (check the linked source, no doubt their are more reports of deaths and injuries today). The government forces intend to "cleanse" the east of any who don't bow to the power of western Ukraine.

Russian and Ukrainian are distinct ethnic groups. And what you said is deeply bigoted.
