Separatist leader Alexander Zakharchenko initially announced that his forces had begun an offensive on the government-controlled city of Mariupol. But after the extent of civilian casualties became known, he backtracked and blamed Ukrainian forces for Saturday's carnage.
The rocket attack came a day after the rebels rejected a peace deal and announced they were going on a multi-pronged offensive against the Kiev government in Kiev in a bid to seize more territory. The rebel stance has upended European attempts to mediate an end to the fighting in eastern Ukraine that has cost at least 5,100 lives since April, according to United Nations estimates.
"The intercepted radio and telephone conversations, which were given to me by Ukraine's security services, irrefutably prove that the attack was conducted by the terrorists, who, unfortunately, are supported by Russia," President Petro Poroshenko said during an emergency meeting of his Security Council.

This is war. Civilians die. Get over it.

The world is full of amazing "coincidences"! In the summer, a week before the shooting down of Boeing, the militia was preparing for a full-scale offensive operations - have been accumulated forces, composed tactical plans, procured ammunition. However, the "mysterious" drop of Boeing canceled the offensive.
Now, after the "mysterious" fire and the deaths of civilians in Mariupol, liberation of the city again delayed.
Truly, the world is wonderful and full of "unexplained" events.
