Satellite Images Show Russians Shelling Ukraine

U.S. officials today made public satellite imagery which they say proves that Russian forces have been shelling eastern Ukraine in a campaign to assist rebel groups fighting Ukraine’s government. The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence, which released the civilian-taken satellite images Sunday, said they show visual evidence that Russia has been firing shells across the border at Ukrainian military forces. Officials also said the images show that Russia-backed separatists have used heavy artillery, provided by Russia, in attacks on Ukrainian forces from inside Ukraine. One image dated July 25/26 shows what DNI claims is “ground scarring” on the Russian side of the border from artillery aimed at Ukrainian military units in Ukraine, as well as the resultant ground craters on the Ukrainian side of the border:

The funny part is someone in the West thinks this evidence matters. You can personally stand outside the Gaza strip with a pair of binoculars and watch Iranian supplied rockets launch into Israel; we don't need satellites to observe this. Ukraine is ruled by a US backed `fascist junta' in the eyes of Western elites and the moonbat left so they're no better than joos; anyone can fire anything they want into Ukraine or Israel and no one will bat an eye.
