ADtv - Serangan udara maut dalam Lugansk antara Kiev "jenayah terhadap rakyat mereka sendiri," Kementerian Luar Rusia berkata. Serangan sengit udara ber-tepatan dengan lawatan pertahanan rasmi atas Amerika Syarikat untuk Kiev, kemen-terian itu berkata.
Kenyataan itu dikeluarkan sebagai respons kepada pengeboman maut Ibu Pejabat pentadbiran Lugansk, di mana 8 orang awam terbunuh Isnin. OSCE pada Selasa menge-sahkan bahawa kejadian itu adalah serangan udara satu, walaupun keengganan Kiev untuk mengakuinya.
Pengeboman itu telah diletupkan oleh Kementerian Luar Negeri sebagai "satu lagi jenayah terhadap rakyat mereka sendiri" oleh pihak berkuasa Kiev. Serangan itu juga datang sebagai pencabulan 17 April Geneva perjanjian di Ukraine dan pelan tindakan OSCE, membuktikan bahawa Kiev "secara terbuka sanggup untuk pergi bersama-sama jalan mencari keharmonian antara etnik di negara ini."
Deadly air strikes in Lugansk are among Kiev’s “crimes against their own people,” the Russian Foreign Ministry has said. The intense air attack coincided with a top US defense official’s visit to Kiev, the ministry noted.
The statement was issued in response to the deadly bombing of the Lugansk administrative HQ, in which 8 civilians were killed Monday. The OSCE on Tues-day confirmed that the incident was an airstrike, despite Kiev’s reluctance to admit it.
The bombing has been blasted by the Foreign Ministry as “yet another crime against their own people” by the Kiev authorities. The attack also came as a grave violation of the April 17 Geneva treaty on Ukraine and the OSCE roadmap, proving that Kiev “is openly unwilling to go along the way of looking for interethnic harmony in the country.”
Kenyataan itu kementerian khususnya menyatakan bahawa "maklum balas dari tin-dakan kuasa-kuasa Ukraine dan ultranationalists bertepatan dengan lawatan Kiev Penolong Setiausaha Pertahanan Amerika Syarikat Derek Chollet."
Chollet bertemu Isnin dengan keselamatan dan pertahanan Ukraine pegawai dan mengumumkan bahawa Amerika Syarikat telah meningkat 2 kali ganda bantuan keten-teraan untuk Kiev, membawanya kepada besar $ 18 juta "bekalan nonlethal". Pegawai Amerika Syarikat berjanji bantuan lebih kepada pengawal sempadan tentera Ukraine dan, mengatakan bahawa pihak berkuasa Kiev diberikan kepadanya dengan keperluan "senarai panjang".
Lewat hari ini, Kiev mengakui ‘admitted’ serangan udara sengit di kawasan Lugansk itu dengan berkata yang helikopter Tentera Udara dan jet "melepaskan lebih daripada 150 peluru berpandu" menyokong pengawal sempadan Ukraine bertempur dengan militia.
The ministry’s statement particularly noted that “the escalation of actions of the Ukrainian forces and ultranationalists coincided with the Kiev visit of the US Assistant Secretary of Defense Derek Chollet.”
Chollet met Monday with Ukrainian security and defense officials and announced that the US has doubled its military aid to Kiev, bringing it to a hefty $18 million in “nonlethal supplies.” The US official promised even more assistance to the Ukrainian military and border guards, saying that Kiev authorities provided him with a “long list” of needs.
Later Tuesday, Kiev admitted an intense air attack in the Lugansk area, saying that its Air Force helicopters and jets “fired more than 150 missiles” supporting the Ukrainian border guards clashing with militia.
April lalu, Menteri Luar Rusia Sergey Lavrov berkata bahawa Amerika telah "men-jalankan persembahannya di Ukraine/running the show in Ukraine" dan dirujuk lawatan ke Kiev kepala CIA John Brennan dan Naib Presiden Joe Biden.
Sementara itu, di negara jiran Poland, Presiden Amerika Syarikat, Barack Obama ber-janji untuk melabur ‘$1 billion’ dalam meningkatkan kehadiran tentera Amerika Syarikat di Eropah Timur, untuk "mengesahkan" komitmen Washington untuk sekutu NATO.
"Memandangkan keadaan di Ukraine sekarang, kami juga telah meningkat kehadiran kami Amerika. Kami telah mula berputar tentera darat tambahan dan F- 16 pesawat ke dalam Poland . . . untuk membantu tentera kami menyokong misi udara NATO, "kata Obama, bercakap di hadapan beberapa jet pejuang F-16 di lapangan terbang Warsaw.

Meanwhile, in neighboring Poland, US President Barack Obama pledged to invest $1 billion in stepping up the US military presence in Eastern Europe, to “reaffirm” Washington’s commitment to NATO allies.
“Given the situation in Ukraine right now, we have also increased our American presence. We've begun rotating additional ground troops and F-16 aircraft into Poland . . . to help our forces support NATO air missions,” Obama said, speaking in front of several F-16 fighter jets in a Warsaw airport.
