Description | Olexander Turchynov, as acting President of Ukraine, announced the start of "anti-terrorist operation" against Donbas protestors in 2014. |
The "Anti-Terrorist-Operation" (ATO) was meant to bring the the areas that separated after the coup under Ukrainian government control again by military means.[1]
From the start it basically came down to war crimes [2][3][4][5] and killing of civilians mainly by heavy weapons fire on residential areas after the initial phase of the war. Torture,[6] rape, executions and mass graves have been reported.[7]
BBC Europe:
Ukraine's acting President Olexander Turchynov has announced the start of an "anti-terrorist operation" (ATO) against pro-Russian separatists.
He told parliament it was being conducted "stage by stage, in a responsible... manner". [8]
It was clear from Turchynov's announcement that the Junta expected to secure full control and compliance in the South-Eastern parts of the country with relative ease. As it turned out, this marked the beginning of what has become a protracted and bloody civil war with the junta using all the military power at its disposal against its own citizens.
War crimes

Petro Poroshenko | “we [in Ukraine] will have work they – [in the Donbas] won’t. We will have pensions – they won’t. We will care for our children and pensioners – they won’t. Our children will go to school, to kindergartens – their children will sit in cellars*. They don’t know how to organize or do anything. This, ultimately, is how we will win this war.” | Petro Poroshenko | October 2014 |
