The Independent: Ukraine crisis: Fighting in Donetsk between army and Russian-backed rebels at highest level for months
WNU Editor: To say that the situation in Ukraine is grim is an understatement. Regular readers know that I have family and friends in Ukraine .... and all of them are telling me the same thing.

But as bad as the situation in Ukraine is, in eastern Ukraine the war is producing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis that the West has (so far) choose to ignore. The following Al Jazeera post sums up the humanitarian situation in eastern Ukraine .... In eastern Ukraine’s Miusynsk, pensioners struggle to survive winter (Al Jazeera).
