Eva Bartlett: Western Silence As Ukraine Targets Civilians in Donbass - 23 Dec 2022

Addressing the EIR Symposium, "Peace On Earth, Or Humanity's Doom?

The Case For Negotiations," Canadian journalist Eva Bartlett, who was granted the 2017 International Journalism Award by the Journalists’ Club of Mexico and has spent years doing on-the-ground reporting of wars in the Middle East, gave an eyewitness account of the ongoing genocide against the people of Donbass, where she has been reporting for the last year.

Since 2014, she reported, 12,500 civilians have been killed by sniping and shelling with NATO weapons in both the Lugansk People’s Republic and Donetsk People’s Republic, with over 4,500 killed since mid-February of this year.

Given that civilian areas are targeted, this shelling constitutes terrorism and war crimes.
