If there is no time to warn , we will be shooting to kill immediately.’ #Konstantinovka.” Other sources speculate all mobile communications have been cut because a massacre is to happen. Communications are all coming from nearby villages. Olga Luzanova tweets at 23:50 UTC: “#ALL – Konstantinovka: People have rebelled not against just regime, but against heavy armour. No more sufferance & fear. A real fortitude!” Another source says: “Ukraine claims #Konstantinovka protesters have fled http://tinyurl.com/k4b3hvw . So why cut internet, mobiles to stop anyone saying different?”

Editor’s note: Konstantinovka lies in Kiev-held territory about 20 km west of Artyemovsk, and approximately midway north-south between Kramatorsk and Gorlovka, some 40 km from each.

Konstantinovka: A Resident Speaks. A dweller of Konstantinovka wrote in facebook on March, 17: “The night was tough. It seems, it became the last night for some people. There was shooting, smoke and tar. Ukies pulled up reinforcements consisting of the Right Sector members and unleashed them at the population. I feel bad, when I think of Ukie faggots raiding the blocks of apartments. Yesterday a general arrived and addressed the crowd; a granny started shouting at him: ‘Why are your drunken soldiers killing our children? Go away and take your beasts with you!’ To that he retorted: ‘They are not beasts, they are heroes, who are defending you from terrorists’. Fuck them, the Banderite scum, THEY are the terrorists, and not the militiamen. Everything quieted down by now, and the Right Secs roam about the town and grab people. On what grounds the people are grabbed, I do not know, perhaps, out of the blue. At night many people had been deported in police vans. We’ll soon take to the streets, and I will say more: we are ready to fight back. If the need arises, we will barehanded strangle the Banderite scum, we will pick machine-guns off their corpses and defend ourselves, but we will not make it without help. I hope Zakhar will move his arse there in Donetsk and send us support or at least arms. If no one arrives, Ukies will arrest every one, who came to the scene of the incident yesterday. The rats brightened up and started squeaking”.
