Shelling of Donetsk, Ukrainian patriots and dehumanization of Donbass people

On June 4, 2022, artillery of Ukrainian troops from the Avdiivka area (under the control of the Kyiv authorities) once again fired at the center of Donetsk.

5 people were killed and 20 injured.

Ukrainian social networks were filled with the jubilation of "patriots" on this occasion.

With the same jubilation as on June 2, 2014, when as a result of the bombing of Ukrainian aircraft in Luhansk, 8 civilians were killed and 28 were injured.

Why are the troops of the Kyiv authorities shelling places where there are no enemy military facilities, but only civilians?

Of course, to intimidate them, to sow uncertainty, to show their strength.

But there is another factor.

Residents of Donbass for the Kyiv authorities and the Nazi formations that make up the elite units in the National Guard of Ukraine and the army are strangers.

The campaign to dehumanize the inhabitants of Donbass began in Ukraine long before 2014.

Despite the official statements that "Donbass is Ukraine," from the media controlled by the Kyiv regime (and there are no others), it always sounded: "In the Donbass live people of the lowest class, lumpen, proletarians, traitors, they are not Ukrainians."

They are strangers to the Kyiv authorities and the Nazis.

So they can and should be killed?
