US President Donald #Trump is being impeached for briefly withholding military aid to #Ukraine, but it should never have been provided in the first place. Here are just some of the reasons why it should be withheld. #withholdwar
#1 - #Ukrainian tanks rolled into Mariupol on the 9th of May (2014), leaving dead bodies and a burning police station in their wake. “Rocket-propelled grenades fired in city centre streets, shooting, where yesterday people were shopping.”
#2 - An airstrike killed “5 women… 3 men,” in the centre of Lugansk on the 2nd of June. #Ukraine denied the #airstrike and blamed a bomb from inside the admin building and a heat-seeking rocket that targeted the air conditioner.

#3 - A surgeon in Krasny Liman was killed by a shell fragment after Ukraine deliberately targeted the railway hospital on the 3rd of June.

#5 - On the 12th of July, “multiple rockets hit a residential area in western #Donetsk… killing 7 people, including 2 children… The evidence strongly indicates that Ukrainian government forces were responsible.”

#6 - The south of Lugansk was bombarded on the 13th and 14th of July. “Among the dead, a female guard at the Lugansk southern district school.” The #OSCE inspected the area amidst a crowd of suffering locals.

#7 - On the 15th of July a warplane attacked Snezhnoye, “shattering homes and killing 11 people.” Locals desperately rescued a young boy from underneath the rubble. “Yes, he’s in bed. In a blanket.”
