The Ukrainian Government is massacring civilians and needs to be stopped

"I would like to sincerely apologize for not giving this debate more of my attention."That's alright, I too have been very busy lately.REBUTTALS:"All land held by the separatists is legally part of Ukraine. Thus, all the land the separatists occupy has been encroached upon."That is true, but my point was that the separatists are not out trying to "conquer" more territory. They are trying to defend the hometowns that they already have."But Pro's points are non-responsive to mine. If Ukraine doesn't take the fight to the separatists, the separatists will take the fight to Ukraine."The source my opponent provides for this is very biased Western propaganda that is set against the separatists. The separatists have declared themselves as two Republics and are merely seeking to protect their self-declared nations. They are not trying to "take the fight" to anyone."If Kiev does warn people in advance of such planned operations, as this example seems to imply, it is certainly not the villain Pro makes it out to be."My opponent has NOT managed to prove that Kiev gave an early warning of the coming onslaught. (Before it actually began, not several months afterwards)."It is therefore not the fault of the Ukrainian government when civilians are hurt, because it is the separatist that have chosen to fight close to civilian areas."As mentioned, bombing an entire civilian-filled city that may have separatists there is a terrible method as it causes very much unnecessary destruction. This is the same as having several civilians and a separatist in a room and to throw a grenade in there in order to kill the separatist. Extremely ineffective. There are many ways that the Ukrainian government could minimize losses, but refuses to do so. "Unfortunately, his source, the NY Times, does not say who is responsible for all or most of those deaths and injuries. We just don't know how many are attributable to Kiev."While that is true, we can safely assume that most, if not all, of the deaths and injuries are a result of Kiev's attacks because the separatists have no interest in killing civilians. Also note that the separatists do NOT have an air-force of any kind, nor do they have heavy artillery guns. Since vast majority all of the civilian deaths are a result of artillery and aerial bombardment, it is unreasonable to assume that the separatists were responsible.http://www.nytimes.com...I would also like to note that the article says: "the investigation 'strongly indicates that Ukrainian government forces were responsible' for the four attacks." The investigation is over who fired the Grad rockets.http://www.nytimes.com..."So, it is safe to assume that if Kiev could minimize harms to civilians with more precise weapons, it would do so."I believe this is an incorrect assumption. Kiev could even try using more infantry and armored vehicles that would be able to actually target the separatists, instead of sitting back and bombing away at the area in which separatists are supposed to be."And Ukraine is doing a lot to allow civilians to escape."Below is a map of the two main regions of where the separatists are located. You will notice that these regions represent the majority of the Ukrainian war-zone that borders with Russia, which means that the separatists are actually in control of the flow of civilians into Russia. Kiev has very little impact on this. The separatists are the ones who are letting hundreds of thousands of civilians out of Ukraine. "The rebels are largely bankrolled by the Russians"My opponent did not provide a source for this claim, and most of the sources that he might provide consist of Western media accusing Russia of sending in weapons disguised as humanitarian aid (with little to no evidence to support the claim). I would like to note that Russia and the Red Cross are collaborating to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine.I would also like to note that many of my opponent's arguments seem to be irrelevant to the debate. The debate is not: "The Ukrainian government is more responsible for civilian death than separatists". The debate is the simple fact that the Ukrainian government is killing civilians en masse, which I have proved.ARGUMENTS:1) Ukrainian Government is corrupt- My opponent did not contest my definition of corrupt, which was: "morally degenerate and perverted". I believe that it IS morally perverted that the Ukrainian government is actively funding military operations that consistenly kill civilians by the dozens.2) Ukrainian Government is evil- I believe that this, too, has been proven. The Ukrainian government is actively bombing regions with thousands of helpless men, women, children and elderly, dozens of which are being killed and hundreds are being injured. I believe this can be regarded as "cruel" and "evil".3) Ukrainian Government is fascist- As mentioned in my previous argument, many members of the Ukrainian government are also members of Svoboda, a far-right sector. I would also like to note that the red and black fascist flag is being hung around the Ukraine and far-right sector Neo-Nazis are actively being recruited by the Ukrainian National Guard.http://ukraine-human-rights.org...4) Ukrainian Government is massacring civilians- As many sources have shown, the actions of the Ukrainian government and military are directly causing the death of many civilians. I believe this point, too, has been proven.http://www.globalresearch.ca...5) The Ukrainian Government needs to be stopped- As we understand, the civilians are not capable of improving their conditions and are completely at the mercy of the Ukrainian Military. The separatists are also not able to protect the civilians. This means that only external interference is capable of stopping the onslaught and saving the civilians. Considering the above, I have fullfilled my BoP.I greatly appreciate my opponent's cool head and lack of aggression.Thank you for the thought-provoking debate.
