Kreminna (Template:Lang-uk; Russian: Кременная) is a city in the Sievierodonetsk Raion of the Luhansk Oblast of Ukraine. Prior to 2020, it served as the administrative center of the former Kreminna Raion. It has a population of 18,417 (2021 est.).[2] The city was occupied by Russian Armed Forces on 18 April 2022 during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[1]
History
Kreminna was founded in 1680. Kreminna acquired the status of a city in 1938.
A local newspaper has been published in the city since December 1943.[3]
In July 2014, the city was the scene of fighting during the 2014 pro-Russian conflict in Ukraine.[4] Kreminna remained under Ukrainian control.[5] In March 2022, during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the pro-Russian mayor Volodymyr Struk who welcomed the Russian move, was found shot dead in the street after having been kidnapped from his home.[6][7]
Official advisor and a former deputy minister at the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs Anton Herashchenko said that Struk was judged under the Lynch Law. Herashchenko suggested that the mayor was murdered by "unknown patriots" as the Russian forces were 15 kilometers away from Kreminna.[8]
UN and Luhansk and Donetsk in 2014
United Nations human rights committee and UN HIgh Commissioner of Human Rights (Racino, live observer, UN web tv, 2014) received reports from both Syria and Ukraine in 2014, the latter leading to identification of active Russian intrusion into Ukranian air space, bombings in which US Obama administration issued warnings to Russia, destruction in the Ukranian cities of the two regions (e.g., residential apartment buildings), and reported regional government taken over with kidnapping and beheading.
In Syria, Alleppo was destroyed, and reports of active attacks using chemical weapons was at evacuation and hospitalizations; Russia's involvement with the Assad regime of Syria "unclear" with Assad having history of such use internally to Syria. Then US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton reports on both Russia and Syria in her book, Hard Choices, the former on annexation of Crimea & future of Ukraine, and latter on computers and cell phones to groups within Syria.
On the kidnapping and beheading, as international public administration, we work with Mayors of towns and cities and call for global organizations to maintain the integrity of its cities and peoples for which the governments have responsibilities. [9] [10] To explain, there is "no such thing" that Canada controls "Holland Patent, NY" in New York State, USA.
New Reports in 2022 of Ukraine-Russian war
On 11 March 2022, a residential care home for the elderly in Kreminna came under the fire of Russian tanks. According to Serhiy Haidai, the Ukrainian Governor of Luhansk Oblast, 56 elderly residents were killed and 15 others were taken by the Russian military to Svatove, a town under their control. Ukrainian emergency services and officials were unable to reach the incident scene due to ongoing fighting.[11]
The town was the site of some of the first fighting of the Battle of Donbas. On April 18, 2022, Russian and LNR troops entered the city of Kreminna, subsequently capturing it few hours later after clashes with the Ukrainian Army.[12][13] Haidai said "there were plans to evacuate the population," although due to heavy fighting it proved impossible. Mr Haidai described the Russian forces as having "a huge amount of equipment".[14]
Post Declaration of War by Russia in February 2022
US Congress just passed a $41 billion aid package to Ukraine in May 2022, (CSPAN live tv) and US officials have visited the Ukraine and met during the active war strikes on Ukraine by Russia "following Boris Johnson, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom". US Secretary of State Blinken has led peace talks on the declaration of war by Russia and over 4.3 million refugees from Ukraine were reported "accepted by Nations" (e.g., Poland, Romania, Moldova, USA, UK, Lithuania) during the first two months of the onslaught on Ukraine.
The UN by a supra majority vote of all Nations has supported the Ukraine and condemned the Russian invasion (See, US Ambassador to UN, Theresa Thomas-Greenfield). UN has opened humanitarian aid corridors for evacuation, including families and children, for those in "encircled cities" (e.g., Mariupol, Ukraine) as Russian war tactics reminiscent of WWII. (e.g., block or bomb food deliveries, and energy for heat and cooking-to starvation, see Warsaw, Poland).
US President Joseph Biden began with sanctions on Russia, and in May 2022, status of grain shipments from Ukraine and fertilizer from Russia (e.g., US Department of Agriculture) are in discussion as world trade decisions and Black Sea shipping. Russia is now known to have taken 5 seaports from Ukraine in Crimea in 2014, and was reported at Odesa, Ukraine bombing from the Black Sea (borders of Ukraine and Russia) inland.
