‘God Will Sort Them Out’: Ukrainians of Donbass Beg NATO to End War

The Russian “special military operation” in Ukraine has reached its 90th day and the Western press continues to be inundated with unverified claims of war crimes Russian forces allegedly have committed.

TF contributor Fergie Chambers reports on the latest he found in the city of Donetsk, where attacks on civilians continue.
