DONETSK, August 09, /ITAR-TASS/. The newly-appointed prime minister of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic says he sees many similarities between the current situation in Donbass and the South Ossetian crisis of six years ago.

Aleksandr Zakharchenko expressed this opinion of his in a special message to the South Ossetian people on the occasion of the 6th anniversary of Georgia’s armed aggression of August 2008 and Russia’s peace-making intervention that followed the next day.

“Memories of August 8, 2008 will live on in the minds of the Ossetian people and of all those who witnessed one of the most heinous crimes against humanity committed in the territory of what was once an integral state - the Soviet Union, and in the minds of other peoples who had lived side by side in peace and accord for many decades,” Zakharchenko said in a message published by the Donetsk People’s Republic’s press-centre.

“The blood-soaked land of Donetsk is appealing to common sense, it is pleading for compassion and calling upon the world community and the fraternal peoples to stop the blood bath. The long-suffering land of South Ossetia was doing precisely the same in the terrible days of August 2008,” said Zakharchenko, who took office on Friday.

He voiced the certainty that friendship between the Donetsk People’s Republic and South Ossetia would be getting stronger.

Earlier in the day South Ossetian President Leonid Tibilov said Ukraine had fallen victim to what he described as a “monopolar game” being conducted by the same forces that had pushed Georgia towards the decision to attack South Ossetia in August 2008.

“Today there is Kiev with the territory under its control, and there are the Donetsk and Lugansk republics existing separately from it. This is a hard fact,” Tibilov said.

MOSCOW, August 08, /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s Union of Journalists is taking efforts to find a photographer from Russia Today news agency who has been missing in eastern Ukraine for the past three days, the Union’s press secretary told Itar-Tass on Friday.

MOSCOW, August 08, /ITAR-TASS/. Ukraine's plans to resume fighting in the area of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 crash site violate a resolution of the UN Security Council's, the Russian Foreign Ministry said on Friday.

Moscow’s calls for the evacuation of children from eastern Ukraine are not being answered, Russia's UN envoy Vitaly Churkin said. He stated that over 1,200 orphans have been abandoned in the region, which is under continuous shelling from Kiev troops.

Ukrainian security forces are “methodically shelling residential neighborhoods” and infrastructure, Churkin said at the UN Security Council (UNSC) meeting in New York on Friday.

The UN diplomats assembled to discuss a UN report on human rights in Ukraine.

UN Assistant Secretary-General for Human Rights Ivan Šimonović stated that according to Kiev, 300 children remain in several orphanages in areas not controlled by Ukrainian troops. He stressed that the children are particularly vulnerable and that “allegations of abductions or attempted abductions continue to persist.”

Churkin blasted the document while conveying that children have had to remain in Donetsk after Kiev’s forces intervened into the region. According to Moscow, there are 1,223 orphans in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions.

“It seems that UN philanthropists believe that children rather thrive under fire,” Churkin stated.

Robberies and even attacks on journalists in Independence Square were frequent of late. The area is crammed with piles of stinking garbage and crawling with rats.

“Yesterday, to our deep regret and surprise, stones were thrown at utility workers. Tires were burned,” Klitschko said, adding he was certain that the negotiations with tent camp activists would take a constructive turn, which would allow for clearing the centre of Kiev and putting life there in order.

Kiev’s police has opened three criminal cases over the August 7 unrest in Independence Square.

“Criminal investigation is underway under three articles of Ukraine’s criminal code into car theft, illegal handling of firearms, ammunition and explosives, and hooliganism,” Kiev’s police chief Aleksandr Tereshchuk said Friday. According to the official, five people were taken to district police stations. Another two were given administrative punishment for petty hooliganism. Pre-trial investigation into the criminal cases is continuing.

Last Thursday, utility workers arrived in Independence Square in an attempt to remove the barricades on instructions from the city authorities. The demonstrators offered resistance. Clashes with police and utility workers followed. Fifty police and four utility workers were injured, police sources said. About ten trouble-makers were detained.

The shelling killed civilians as well as destroyed 16 transformer stations, they are de-energized.

According to eyewitnesses unit occupants do not fight directly with the forces of resistance, they are on the heavy armored vehicles in towns and are firing electrical substations. Leaving people without power, the Nazis leave the cities and towns. Only one day ninth of August from such actions of the junta 16 Th stations were destroyed.

Lives of citizens, who are still in the city, it is becoming harder. The few that were not able to leave their homes, holed up in basements. By controlling the militias set a curfew for its performance monitored very strictly, after 23.00 streets of Donetsk completely empty.

Not so long ago, the company the city could start issuing wage residents. In this regard, the only financial institution line up very long queues. All branches of the Savings Bank is constantly full of people. In this case, the main difficulty of the enterprise lies in the fact that in the New Russia at the moment is very hot to get money, people have to stand for hours in queues at the 40-degree heat.

Let's hope for the success of the militia in the defense of Donetsk, the city became the new stronghold of resistance since the capture of Slavic and Kramators'k. Hang in there, brothers, we will not give the Nazis their native lands. Bay Nazi dogs, that the earth shook beneath their feet !!!

Nazis regularly shelling the city, under the control of the militia. In this case, the action is not aimed at the suppression of the resistance forces, but increasingly worsens plight of civilians who remained in the settlements.

If we talk about the Luhansk region, the population is on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe. Products zavezti not possible, shops virtually do not work, of the products can be found only bread, stocks are declining. In this case, fewer workers remain in the supermarkets - people are constantly running, as soon as they are given the opportunity.

Anhel Davilla-Rivas, 29, and Rafa Munez, 28, arrived in Donetsk two weeks ago to offer their assistance to the residents of eastern Ukraine.

“What we see in these weeks that we are here is only bombing of the people and the assault of all the fronts from Kiev. They are trying to separate the cities, they are sending mercenaries to kill the journalists and to demoralize any person that can tell the truth about what’s happening here,” Davilla-Rivas told RT’s Ruptly agency on Saturday.

The pair has not engaged in the fighting just yet, stressing that their main goal is to reveal the truth about what is happening on the ground.

Davilla-Rivas noted that Russia has no presence in the area and could do more in terms of humanitarian aid.

“I never see a Russian soldier...volunteers like us, but Russia is not really doing anything. And I think that Russia should do more for these people – not with guns, but helping people with medicine,” the Spanish volunteer said.

Davilla-Rivas also called on others around the world to come to eastern Ukraine and help in any way they can.

“More people have to come here. If they don’t want not to take the guns but...all people can help in something: in the kitchen, cleaning, telling the truth to countries from here, and watching the situation with their own eyes. It is more important that a lot of people come here and help in what they can, not necessarily only soldiers.”

Russia’s Ambassador to the UN, Vitaly Churkin, has been calling for an international humanitarian mission to be launched. However, Kiev and some of its Western allies have opposed any humanitarian mission involving Russia. Kiev even accused Moscow of scheming to infiltrate eastern Ukraine with the help of the International Red Cross mission to “provoke a full-scale conflict.”

According to Moscow, however, a “full-scale” war is already taking place in the region and it needs to stop.

Late on Saturday, the press service of Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said on his official website that the US has been invited to take part in an international humanitarian mission to Lugansk. The mission, presented as Poroshenko’s initiative under the auspices of the International Committee of the Red Cross, was mentioned during his phone conversation with US Vice President Joe Biden.

The eastern Ukrainian city of Lugansk declared a state of humanitarian catastrophe on Tuesday, as there are no medical supplies, electricity, or lighting. There is also a lack of mobile and internet communication. Some 250,000 civilians are unable to leave, a statement on the city council website said.

For many of us now is one of the most important questions: how inhumane circumstances be human? How to prevent heart devil? Reflects on it and well-known Russian journalist Andrei Maximov.

We did not notice the first time since the Nazi camps, burned alive people in Odessa. We did not pay attention to the fact, as in the Donetsk region killed an Orthodox priest Paul Zhuchenko.

I did not want to write about it, because I knew the reaction: irony ernichestvo political cries ... Why?

And then I thought, why do I have no respect for the readers? And readers in general, and those for whom it became a habit in the morning to open the portal "Orthodoxy and the World"? Why am I so sure that they do not want to understand me? It's the same thing: desire.

So what am I?

We did not notice the first time since the Nazi camps, burned alive people in Odessa. We did not pay attention to the fact, as in the Donetsk region killed an Orthodox priest Paul Zhuchenko.

No, of course, the news reported. Some people cried. Phoned with friends. I am proud of those of their fellow citizens, who went to the Embassy of Ukraine, laid flowers and lit candles: no demonstrations, slogans, shouting ...

Everything is so.

But these events have not changed us. And many of us in the social networks and the media continue to sow evil, citing the fact that they are fighting for a just cause. For whatever cause they are fought - they call it right.

I'm not talking about those who risked their lives to tell us about the terrible events in Ukraine. They are real professionals - these are no questions, one delight.

I'm talking about those who consider themselves analysts.

Immediately after a terrible fire in a former businessman and politician, wrote in his blog that supposedly burned some Russian, Odessites was not there. Moreover, it is - a lie. So also clearly was read, saying that if the Russian burned - and God is with them ...

The famous theater director, head of a Moscow theater in Odessa and one, returned to the capital and spoke about his trip to Odessa in the blog. Spoke calmly, with his characteristic lyricism. "The main issue now - says the director. - Learn who shot ... "

And I think that the main question now understand how to live after what happened?

The great philosopher Gregory Pomerantz wrote that the devil begins to foam on the lips of an angel, who is struggling for a just cause. But who listens to philosophers today?

We still crave to comment on the important political events, such as to analyze what we do not understand, and thus, as it were closer to the powers that be.

Putin meets with President of Switzerland. And hundreds, if not thousands of people write their assumptions about what they talked about. And thousands of readers and viewers to discuss the assumptions of those who did not see anything and did not know.

Every day there are hundreds of social networks, if not thousands, of evil, angry, if not insane comments.

And the thick foam on the lips of an angel ...

When I say so, I argue:

- But we can not be away from these events?

And not to be in the side - it means comment on what you do not understand? Not be in the side - so to speak, and rubbing their hands, enjoying their own "political sagacity"?

I think that not being in the side - it means even more to love his wife, his children, his business.

Not be in the side - it means not to sow evil in response to evil, and not die to give love and kindness, which are in every heart.

This is not a general nice words. This is a guide to action.

To communicate with a child who is long gone to the computer. Come to visit his parents. Embracing his wife, and did not yell at her for overdone fried and smile.

And stop to comment on what we do not understand the social networks. Cease to create a world of aggression and anger.

This genuine response to evil.

No the, most angry comments, we do not change. Only increase the amount of evil in the world - that's all.

And we will change if to calm themselves.

Remember how genius wrote: "Silence want silence. Nerves, whether that burned? "

Here I am - this.

When there is a real, real tragedy, our first, is absolutely understandable desire: to pour out his wrath on the other.

And if you do not think about others, and about yourself? It you live in a world where people are burned alive and killed the priest. This does not happen in your country, but in your world of the XXI century.

It is impossible not to worry about what is happening in Ukraine. My father was born in the Ukrainian city Shchors, graduated from the Kiev Pedagogical Institute, and the fight began June 22, 1941 is in the Ukraine. How not to worry?

But now it is time to pray. Evil is not overcome by evil, it is overcome only good - way of the world.

Yes, looking at what is happening in Ukraine - it is impossible not to worry, and it is impossible not to be angry. But more than that should not be given to spread malice in his heart.

Close and given to us in order to make it on someone to train their possessions. These days should not be forgotten about.

The devil is strong hysterics and anger. So he believes that people will pick up this hysterical rage and suffer it all over the world.

God is omnipotent. The devil powerless - it only works through us, through people.

Today is a time when no matter what you write, and however expressed - not a sin to think: the devil are you helping or God.

Yet, alas, the foam on the lips of an angel gets denser, more ... UPD: Author's response to feedback from readers

Thanks to everyone who understood me.

And thanks to all who do not understand. Because this is a misunderstanding - a very characteristic.

I was accused, mostly in "Tolstoyism" in resisting evil. I have not written a word about it.

I've been thinking: why are people so read? And, I think, understand.

People genuinely think that when they write on social networks - they thus do not spread evil, and fight against evil. They really think that if you write: "I am against something" or "I do not like so-and-so!" - It is a struggle. And here there is a paradox.

On the one hand, it is good that the fight turned into a social network. As we have seen in Ukraine: it's better than going out into the street, beat the face and shoot. On the other hand, so evil is sown, and we are creating a terrible reality. How to solve this paradox, I do not know.

But the fact that people believe that when a person calls upon them not to sow evil in social networks - it encourages them to come to terms with evil, it seems to me very characteristic.

In my opinion, it makes you wonder.
