Ukraine: two bombing victims, Kiev prepares for offensive Two teenagers were killed Wednesday on a sports bombed Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine pro-Russian rebel, while Kiev is preparing for a possible offensive separatists. The tragedy occurred in the stronghold of insurgents when a group of youths playing football on the sports field of a school, just about three kilometers from the airport of Donetsk, the scene of intense fighting for months. AFP journalists saw two bodies covered with a tarp, while the bombing continued, despite a cease-fire established there two months and that has allowed a reduction in the intensity of the fighting. Everyone is shocked by this inhuman attack, tweeted the head of the Ukrainian diplomacy Pavlo Klimkin calling the OSCE (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe) to send its observers of emergency crime scene to establish the culprits. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced that Ukrainian state, faced with a severe economic crisis and whose coffers are empty, no longer fund the social statements in the rebel-controlled area where hostilities have done more 4,000 lives since their release in April. As soon as the Russian terrorists will be removed from Donetsk and Lugansk and we will take control of these areas, we will pay each resident social benefits which they are entitled, he has promised. Kiev and the West accuse Russia of military support to separatist and have deployed troops in Ukraine. In practice, the governments decision, which will come into force over the next few months, means that people in these areas will no longer receive their allowances if they move to the territories controlled by Kiev, told AFP a source government. This is a huge amount. Nothing in that part of the Donetsk region under the control of the rebels, there is 600,000 retirees, which, with an average salary of 1,000 hryvnias (55 euros) represents 33 million euros of monthly expenditure for Kiev, told AFP a senior safety officer under the guise of anonymity. Ukraine plans to use the money saved to provide humanitarian assistance to those who refuse to leave the East, has he added. His statements fall under the hardening of policy by the Government announced Tuesday by President Poroshenko elections only after the separatist recognized by Russia and who, according to Kiev and Westerners, dealt a serious blow to the process of peace. If the central government remains committed to the peace plan he put in place a series of measures to defend territories and isolate the insurgents, said Poroshenko. At a time when many in Kiev fear a new offensive separatists rebels have openly designated the port of Mariupol, on the shores of the Sea of Azov, as their next goal, the president assured that the army is prepared to fight back. Many new units and groups have been formed, which will now counter a possible offensive, he has said. Kiev again on Wednesday accused Russia to continue to provide significant quantities of men and military equipment to the rebels. Charges that corroborate the secretary general of NATO Jens Stoltenberg: Russia continues to support the rebels the leading, providing equipment and have special forces in the Ukraine, -t he said Tuesday. To try to save the cease-fire increasingly virtual, a meeting between representatives of Ukrainians, rebels, Russia and the OSCE was held Wednesday in Donetsk. The negotiations have not resulted in tangible progress, but the fact that the opposing parties to discuss with one another is encouraging, said the press deputy chief of the observer mission of the OSCE Ukraine Alexander Hug.
