There is nothing else that matters today.
Is Putin going to make good on promises he gave in March to support Novorossia??

Ukraine warzone: Demolished houses, fires after heavy shelling
(VIDEOS)
RT,

June, 2014
Despite
President Poroshenko intention to bring about a ceasefire, Kiev’s
relentless military operation in the country's east is intensifying.
Slavyansk has become one of the main targets of artillery attacks,
amateur videos filmed in the area show.
"We
must reach a ceasefire this week. Each day when people are dying,
each day when Ukraine pays such a high price is unacceptable for me,"
newly sworn-in President Petro Poroshenko said on June 8 after
trilateral talks on eastern Ukraine with Russian and OSCE
representatives.
Still,
constant fire is heard in the evening hours in residential areas of
Slavyansk, with frustrated people seeking shelter when the shelling
erupts. A woman is heard asking a man where it's safe to hide.
Kiev's
artillery has been firing on Slavyansk since mid-May, and the city's
residential areas suffer most under the attacks. A multi-storeyed
apartment block is seen damaged in the video, another residential
house's roof is on fire. A woman is heard yelling, accusing the
western press of lying, "they
say that civilians do not suffer,"
she says. Locals have told RT they have been without running water
and power for days.
Remains
of what was a shopping area are seen in the video. Signs read various
shops' names, including a travel agency and tickets sales office, and
people in the street are trying to retrieve what's left of a
household appliances shop. The man behind the camera films an address
sign as proof of location.
A
destroyed gas-station across the street. Although the area has an
abandoned feel, especially for a Sunday, a local woman carrying bags
crosses the ghostly street.
Shells
leave craters about two meters wide on pavements and in the ground.
The video is captioned "Poroshenko's present to Slavyansk for
Pentecost". Pentecost Sunday, or the Holy Trinity Day is one of
the main Christian holidays.
Indiscriminate
fire hit residential buildings, schools and hospitals on June 8. A
leisure center in the video is still on fire. A man is asking to film
the surroundings, as he says "otherwise
no one will later believe that such a thing could be possible".
At
least five people were reported killed as the result of the shelling
of Slavyansk on Sunday. A girl, thought to be four years old, was
among dead. She is thought to have perished in the fire at the
leisure center. The video shows the Andreevsky merchants' house, one
of the oldest historical buildings in Slavyansk, which was set ablaze
and destroy by the attack.
In
the military operation, some homes were totally demolished. The man
in the video below now has to live in a cellar. "This
is where we live, children and women live here, eat here,"
he says. A piece of roof is hanging atop a nearby tree, his yard is
now total wreckage.
Meanwhile the chocolate king 'Parasha-enko" says the crisis "must end this week" while he bombs civilians in eastern Ukraine. The western media parrots this line and is silent about the horror unleashed against Novorossia.
