The '''NATO war in Ukraine''', sometimes known as the '''Russia–Ukraine civil conflict''' is a [[proxy war]] started by the [[United States]] in 2014 with the violent overthrow of the [[democracy|democratically]] elected government of [[Ukraine]]<ref>https://mronline.org/2022/04/09/the-u-s-proxy-war-in-ukraine/</ref> in collaboration with [[neo-Nazi]] traitors to the Ukrainian nation.<ref>https://youtu.be/5SBo0akeDMY</ref> The newly installed [[Maidan puppet regime]] immediately began a campaign of unprovoked aggression against the civilians of [[Donbas]].
After spilling the liquid they had brought with them, they set fire to the curtain and chairs with incendiary devices. When the fire flared up, rising to the very top and engulfing part of the roof, they, according to preliminary data, left the scene of the massacre. An explosion was heard. About 100 people were trapped inside, who were rescued by the fire department. The roof of the building collapsed. Special Forces of the [[FSB]] entered the building.
