In Donetsk’s Kievsky district on May 27, I interviewed Dmitry Astrakhan, a war correspondent and journalist who has covered Ukraine’s brutal war on the civilians of the Donbass since its inception one decade ago.
He details Ukraine’s war crimes, attacking Donbass civilians since 2014, along with the complicity of the OSCE in enabling these atrocities. He covered the liberation of Mariupol, and countless other Donbass regions, and saw Ukrainian forces using civilians as human shields, a well-established fact by now, keeping civilians on one or two floors, and putting Ukrainian forces above them who then fired on Russian forces.
“You could see white flags on one level, and machine gun firing from another.”
He took testimonies regarding Ukrainian snipers shooting at civilians, Ukrainian forces exploding buildings knowing there were civilians inside, in Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).
Dmitry spoke of too many Ukrainian war crimes to detail here. Instead, listen to the first-hand experiences of this courageous Donbass journalist.

Hello Eva,
Thank you for your brilliant reporting.
And apologies for duplicate messages (I’ve also sent you an email at evakbartlett2017@gmail.comevakbartlett2017@gmail.com). I am friends with Don DeBar (just to let you know I’m real), and you can find out more about me at https://www.facebook.com/faith.attaguile/).
Your independent, stand-out journalism caught my eye and got me to subscribe to your InGaza emails long ago. (You may have even heard my cheers when, unlike others, you refused to overlook RFKjr’s despicable stance on Palestine when he first announced his presidential run.)
Here’s the deal: I will be in Russia in July and Moscow from July 4-13. If you will also be there during those days, I’d love to connect for lunch, dinner, or coffee — whatever works for you betwixt your busy schedule. While in Russia, I want to connect with and learn from those living outside the official US Deep State narrative, which has so propagandized the many.
So, will you be in Moscow and available sometime during those days? I hope so! I’m really looking forward to talking with you.
Warm regards, Faith WhatsApp +1-858-568-2291 ________________________________
