Russia's War Against Ukraine
OP-ED
Halya Coynash: Donetsk is new front in Putin’s dirty little war
When fists are flying, most press agencies play safe with words suggesting joint responsibility like “clashes” and “scuffles.” Video footage, reports from witnesses and civic organizations suggest a different, more sinister slant on Thursday’s violence in Donetsk which left at very least one person dead, and more than 50 injured. Even more sinister is the report from the Russian Foreign Ministry which presents a totally different version with the conclusion spelled out that Russia may take action to “defend” its nationals.
