Devastated residents have been forced to flea their burning homes in Ukraine following mortar attacks in scenes reminiscent of the Eastern Front during the Second World War.

Suburban buildings were engulfed in flames and shell craters dotted the ground as strategic positions along the border with Russia were targeted.

The image of devastation in Lugansk is a sign of the escalation in military tensions between Kiev and the Kremlin following the end of a 10-day ceasefire.

But the pictures, which strongly resemble the trail of destruction left by Hitler's forces in the Soviet Union 70 years ago, are also a worrying sign of how the conflict could develop.

Ukrainians are now fleeing into Russia.

If we weren’t backing the current Kiev crowd ( or if they were Muslims ) we’d call them refugees of a hostile and aggressive dictator. But because we are backing the Kiev crowd we call it “Democracy in action”

The usual response to such factual observation is name calling as if that makes a difference.
