[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;46138432]Also Kiev soldiers could do as you say as well, not just the rebels.
My theory is that two sides are shelling eachother, normal everyday business, then the OSCE group comes to one side.
Everyone is like "Oh god, hide the mortars. Alright, hello mr. Neutral observer, we are being shot at, but we didn't break the ceasefire!".
OSCE group leaves, goes to the other side. Meanwhile the site they left takes out the mortars and continues shelling.
And then everything repeats on the other side.[/QUOTE]
Ofcourse the Ukrainian Army could claim the same, without a doubt, considering the track records for truthtelling on both sides. I'm stating the fact that no matter how convincing the evidence, the opposition can simply call it fake, and that's it. No matter how much incriminating material Ostrovsky's cameraman captures or questions he asks, the answers at this point are all going to be "We didn't do it, but they sure are bombing us/civilians/schools/hospitals!".
The only truth we have is that neither side(s?) are willing to end this. Come winter, there will be consequences. Not weapons nor loyalties are going to keep people warm and alive then. Everyone will suffer for this, you will see...
Damn, it's almost like next we'll hear about rowdy Russians firing rockets at Radoslavs wielding rifles.
This crisis in Ukraine isn't really new. Well, the things that are happening isn't new.
Same thing has happened before, notably in Greece after WWII, which made the UN's security council make "The Commission of Investigation Concerning Frontier Incidents", and then later "The United Nations Special Committee on the Balkans" (UNSCOB). That was a bit more complicated in the start, though, with British and American troops supporting the government against the (mostly communist) rebels.
Still a lot of similarities, but the main difference was that the UN intervened and pretty much fixed it in five months.
