The Ukrainian government staged a deliberate attack against the innocent, defenseless residents of the town of Gorlovka in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) on May 11, aimed at demoralizing the civilians, military analyst Scott Ritter said.
Shelling of the civilian town of Gorlovka in Donbass by the Ukrainian Armed Forces using Grad multiple-launch rocket systems constitutes a “war crime,” Scott Ritter told Sputnik via his telegram channel.
The shelling of a civilian area could not be "legitimate" under any military terms, said the former US Marine Corps intelligence officer.
“So there could be no doubt that that the Ukrainian shelling of Gorlovka constitutes a crime under international humanitarian law. There is literally no military expediency behind this kind of action… It’s a purely terrorist action designed to demoralize the citizens of Donbass, of Gorlovka," he stated.
He went on to point out that it also could not be a shelling “by mistake,” as the Ukrainian government receives very accurate intelligence from the United States and NATO regarding the disposition of Russian forces. There are no Russian forces stationed in Gorlovka, or in the vicinity of the strikes by the Kiev regime, pointed out the ex-UN Weapons Inspector.
This was an act of terrorism, and the international Criminal Court (ICC) should investigate Ukraine’s actions targeting this city, said Ritter.
Ukrainian forces scaled up the intensity of attacks on Gorlovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic on May 11, shelling it 57 times during the day from 08:00 Moscow time. As a result, one civilian was killed and at least six others were wounded.
The targeting of Gorlovka is nothing new, as the Kiev regime relies on terror, and has consistently shelled civilian areas in Donetsk.
Both the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics have been subjected to heavy shelling by Kiev since 2014, when the legitimately elected president of Ukraine was forcibly toppled by the violent US-backed opposition and neo-Nazi paramilitary groups. The mostly Russian-speaking people of Donbass did not accept the February 2014 coup d'etat in Kiev, refusing to knuckle under and go along with the junta's Russophobic agenda and banning of the Russian language.
On April 7, 2014, the Republican People's Council declared the sovereignty of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). Shortly after, on April 27, the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) was proclaimed. On May 11 of the same year, referendums were held in the Donbass region on the status of the republics, with the majority of the population backing the DPR and LPR's independence from Kiev. Since that time, the Kiev regime has hounded the Donbass with relentless attacks, claiming numerous civilian lives.
After efforts to end hostilities via the Minsk Agreements fell through, in February 2022, Moscow launched a special military operation aimed at demilitarizing and de-Nazifying Ukraine in order to protect the Russian-speaking people from a campaign of extermination unleashed by the Ukrainian leadership.
In October 2023, the Donbass, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions officially joined the Russian Federation following a series of referendums.
Ukraine Terrorizes Donbass Civilians Since It Cannot Win on Battlefield
The Kiev regime relies on terror and continues to shell civilian areas in Donetsk, Makeyevka, and Gorlovka, Yuri Knutov, military historian, publicist, and director of the Air Defense Forces Museum, told Sputnik, denouncing attacks on historically Russia-speaking regions as genocide.
On May 12, the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) struck Donetsk, Makeyevka, and the village of Golmovsky, firing a total of 22 shells of 155 and 152 mm caliber. Gorlovka, a city in the Donetsk region, was attacked by Ukrainian Grad multiple rocket launcher (MRL) systems, as the Donetsk People's Republic's (DPR) representative office at the Joint Center for Control and Coordination of Issues Related to War Crimes of Ukraine reported on Telegram.
This is not a mistake by the Ukrainian military, but a deliberate terror tactic, according to Yuri Knutov, military historian, publicist, and director of the Air Defense Forces Museum.
"If we talk about the [Kiev regime's] shelling of civilians, social infrastructure facilities, residential buildings, of course, this constitutes a war crime," said Knutov. "Moreover, it can even be considered as elements of genocide against the Russian-speaking population."

On April 7, 2014, the Republican People's Council declared the sovereignty of the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR). On April 27, at a rally in Lugansk, the Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) was proclaimed. On May 11 of the same year, referendums were held in the Donbass region on the status of the republics, with the majority of the population backing the DPR and LPR's independence from Kiev.
Meanwhile, the Odessa massacre of May 2, 2014, and the Victory Day bloodbath in Mariupol of May 9, 2014, prompted Donbass civilians to take up arms.
Moscow's effort to end hostilities via the Minsk Agreements approved by the multinational Normandy Four format was snubbed by the Kiev regime and its Western backers. In February 2022, Moscow launched a special military operation aimed at demilitarizing and de-Nazifying Ukraine in order to stop the eight-year-long extermination of Russian-speaking people by the Ukrainian leadership.
In October 2022, the Donbass, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions officially joined the Russian Federation following a series of referendums.
Nonetheless, the Kiev regime is continuing to push ahead with its Russophobic policies, rejecting the will of the population of former Ukrainian regions, according to Knutov.
"[The Ukrainian leadership] is carrying out a constant mobilization, they grab everyone they meet on the street," Knutov said. "And first of all, they are trying to carry out mobilization in the Russian-speaking regions, that is, these are the Central and Eastern parts of Ukraine. Thus, the Kiev regime commits another crime: it forces ethnic Russians to kill Russians. Russian-speakers kill Russian-speakers. This is where the policy of genocide of the Kiev regime manifests itself."
In addition, the Kiev regime places emphasis on terror against dissenting Ukrainians and Russian-speakers, according to the expert. He noted that the Ukrainian military is intentionally striking residential areas, hospitals, social infrastructure facilities, and schools of the new Russian territories to cause panic, havoc, and discontent.
According to Knutov, the major goal of the Kiev regime was recently formulated by Ukrainian Minister of Defense Oleksiy Reznikov: "[Reznikov] directly said that their main task is to break the moral and volitional qualities of Russia, the population of Russia. The Kiev regime is well aware that it is not capable of achieving a military victory over Russia today."
The expert noted that Russians should stay strong and withstand provocations from the NATO-backed Ukrainian regime aimed at sowing panic and discord within Russian society. Knutov has no doubts that Russia will prevail.
"We have a multi-layered defense, we have different equipment, we have the T-90M Proryv, we have high-powered bombs, adjustable, guided, and capable of flying 40 kilometers and hitting a target with an accuracy of 10 meters, other means of destruction (…) We have every chance to prevent the enemy from breaking through, wear him down, bleed him dry and move forward ourselves. Therefore, the most important thing now is the mood that exists in our society. It should be realistic, sober, and reasonable," Knutov concluded.

London’s decision to supply Kiev with long-range cruise missiles is another step towards a “serious escalation” of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Friday. The ministry branded the move as “a very unfriendly step” on the UK’s part, which proves London’s “unprecedented level of involvement” in the conflict.
“Carried away with geopolitical games … the UK is apparently ready to cross any red lines and bring the conflict towards a totally new level when it comes to destruction and casualties,” the ministry’s statement read.
Russia “reserves the right to take any measures deemed necessary to neutralize a threat that may arise from Ukraine’s use of the British cruise missiles,” the ministry said, adding that those behind this “reckless step” and London’s “destructive activities” in general would be to blame for the consequences.
On Thursday, the UK confirmed it was handing several of its Storm Shadow cruise missiles over to Ukraine. The weapons can hit targets over 250km (155 miles) away. British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace claimed it was a “calibrated and proportionate response” by London to the situation in Ukraine.
Washington then indicated on Friday that it was reluctant to follow London’s example. The US has long refused to provide Kiev with longer-range weapons like the ATACMS missiles. In March, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley said it was not an option since the move would dwindle the Pentagon’s own stocks.
Some Western officials have reportedly suggested that giving Ukraine the option to attack targets inside Russian territory, which is recognized as such by the US and its allies, would be a major escalation of the conflict.
Kiev has long asked for such longer-range weapons. President Vladimir Zelensky’s top adviser, Mikhail Podoliak, said this week that longer-range missiles could be used to strike Crimea, which Kiev considers an illegally occupied territory. The peninsula joined Russia back in 2014 following a referendum.
Moscow has repeatedly warned Western nations that continued weapons deliveries to Ukraine make them de facto participants of the conflict – something many of them have vehemently denied.
On Thursday, the Kremlin vowed to have an “appropriate answer” to the deliveries of the British missiles.
US and Britain 'Working in Tandem' on Ukraine Missile Supplies
As London moves to supply Storm Shadow long-range cruise missiles to the regime in Kiev, experts have explained to Sputnik why the British government likely made this move and how Washington might have influenced the situation.
The United States and its allies continue to display unwavering dedication to fanning the flames of the ongoing conflict in Ukraine by providing the regime in Kiev with vast quantities of lethal weapons.
Reports emerged last week that the United Kingdom want to kick things up a notch by supplying Kiev with the kind of weaponry other Western countries, such as the US, have so far been reluctant to ship to Ukraine – long-range cruise missiles that could potentially strike targets deep in Russia’s territory.
Russian military expert and political analyst Ivan Konovalov, however, told Sputnik that while it may appear that the US does not want to send long-range missiles to Ukraine, the US and the UK may be "working in tandem" when it comes to this matter.
"The Americans have their own political problems, the elections, etc. The Republicans and the Democrats, it seems, will eventually tear out each other’s throat. Biden has completely gone mad, that much is clear," Konovalov speculated. "So they (the US) do not want to escalate the situation – they let the British do it. And so the British supply the long-range missiles, Storm Shadows."
When asked about the prospects of these missiles being used against Russia, Konovalov remarked that Ukraine has already been launching strikes against Russian territory.
He did, however, predict that a confirmed Storm Shadow strike deep in Russian territory might prompt a response not against Ukraine, but rather against the "collective West", Ukraine's weapon supplier.
Meanwhile, "Arsenal of the Fatherland" web portal's chief editor Dmitry Drozdenko speculated that London may be more interested in the continuation of the Ukrainian conflict than Washington.
During an interview with Sputnik, Drodzenko suggested that, unlike the US, the UK does not really care about the situation around Taiwan or the confrontation with China.
"On the other hand, the, shall we say, economic devastation of the EU – the bloc Britain had already departed from – and the pacification of Europe allows Britain to deal with its own domestic problems, to a degree," he claimed, adding that the UK will thus likely engage in escalating the Ukrainian conflict further.
The expert also suggested that Ukrainian attacks on Russian soil, such as the recent UAV attack on the Kremlin, might have led London to believe that providing long-range missiles to Kiev would result in an even "bigger bang."
US won’t follow UK on Ukraine missiles – Blinken
The US is reluctant to follow Britain’s example and deliver longer-range missiles to Ukraine, in part due to concerns over training and maintenance, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday.
His statement came after the UK confirmed that it is supplying Kiev with Storm Shadow cruise missiles that can hit targets over 250km (155 miles) away.
“Different countries will do different things, depending on their own capacities,” Blinken told PBS NewsHour, adding that the US has “provided some things uniquely to Ukraine through this process.”
He suggested, however, that Washington needs to be sure that Ukrainians are well-trained and qualified to handle more sophisticated weapons systems.
“If they don’t know how to use it, it’s not going to do much good,” Blinken argued. “If they don’t know how to maintain it, you give it to them, it falls apart in seven days.”
In March, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Milley said the US will not send ATACMS missiles (with a range of up to 190 miles) to Ukraine because the move would dwindle the Pentagon’s own stocks.
Blinken noted that the US and its allies were “working literally every single day” with Kiev. “If there are gaps, if there are shortages, they will tell us, and we will make every effort to make good on them.”
British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace stated on Thursday that the Storm Shadow missiles will “allow Ukraine to push back Russian forces based on Ukrainian sovereign territory.”
Ukrainian officials have said that the success of the planned counteroffensive against Russia greatly depends on deliveries of heavy weapons.
President Vladimir Zelensky’s top adviser, Mikhail Podoliak, said this week that longer-range missiles could be used to strike Crimea, which Kiev considers an illegally occupied territory. The peninsula voted to leave Ukraine and join Russia in the wake of the 2014 coup in Kiev.
Russia has warned that the weapon deliveries make NATO member states de facto direct participants in the conflict. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Thursday that his country’s military would find “an appropriate answer” to the Storm Shadow missiles.
ASR alias Tukul (17) pelaku pembacokan Arya Saputra (17) pelajar SMK Bina Warga Bogor di Simpang Pomad, Kota Bogor, sempat pergi ke dukun supaya tak tertangkap petugas kepolisian.
Pelaku menjalankan perintah dukun itu saat menjadi buronan selama dua bulan, sampai akhirnya ditangkap polisi.
"Setelah sempat bersembunyi di Bogor, pelaku pergi ke Cianjur. Di Cianjur ini pelaku ketemu dukun berharap tidak bisa ditangkap," kata Kapolresta Bogor Kota Kombes Bismo Teguh Prakoso, Jumat 12 Mei 2023.
Setelah itu, dia berangkat ke Terminal Kampung Rambutan Jakarta dan melanjutkan perjalanannya ke Bantul, Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY).
"Pelaku memilih Yogyakarta sebagai tempat persembunyiannya karena biaya hidup disana murah dan lain sebagainya," ucap Bismo.
Selama tinggal di Yogyakarta, pelaku tidur di terminal dan masjid. Tak hanya itu, pelajar SMK di Kota Bogor ini sempat berganti nama menjadi Dian agar tidak dikenali.
"Untuk bertahan hidup, pelaku menjadi pengamen. Setelah itu dia melamar kerja dan diterima bekerja di warung makan," ujarnya.
"Jadi sebelum kejadian ini pun, setiap mau bertarung pelaku pergi ke dukun itu dulu untuk diisi biar kebal. Sekali ngecas bayar Rp 50 ribu per orang," kata dia.
Tukul pergi ke dukun setiap hendak tawuran dengan kelompok lawannya mengikuti jejak para seniornya di tempat dia bersekolah.
"Dia (Tukul) sudah 2 kali ke dukun. Informasi dari senior-seniornya juga kesitu," pungkasnya.
Sebelumnya, seorang siswa SMK Bina Warga Bogor Arya Saputra tewas usai dibacok di Simpang Pomad Kota Bogor pada 10 Maret 2023 lalu.
Pelaku berjumlah tiga orang langsung melarikan diri setelah aksi pembacokan tersebut. Ketiganya sempat ke sekolah mereka setelahnya berpencar untuk bersembunyi.
Dua pelaku yakni MA (17) dan SA (18) berhasil ditangkap lebih dulu di lokasi persembunyiannya daerah Banten. Sementara ASR alias Tukul ditangkap setelah dua bulan buron.
Pelarian ASR alias Tukul (17) selama dua bulan menjadi buronan polisi selesai sudah. Eksekutor pembacokan yang menewaskan Arya Saputra (15), siswa SMK Bina Warga 1 Kota Bogor, itu berhasil ditangkap Kepolisian Resor Bogor Kota.
