Watch: Sorry, Grandma, hope they don’t counterfire – Russian-backed Separatist use civilians as fodder

Russian-backed Separatists in Ukraine use apartments and structures occupied by civilians and then complain to Russian journalist that the Ukrainian Army is firing on civilians. All the while, the Russian-backed Separatists continue firing on Ukrainian positions from the homes of civilians. War is ugly, but uglier when the bad guys use civilians as human shields – cowards.

Sorry, grandma, hope they don’t counterfire, though.

The Russian-backed Separatists are using indirect fire and shifting fire via information directed by a forward observer.
