The next attack by Kiev risks more lives than those in the towns and cities currently under assault. Recently, Ukraine army shells hit a Donetsk chemical plant, Sitrol. The status of the plant is tentative. More shelling risks spreading the chemical poison in a 300-kilometer radius threatening the health of millions in that area. The impact area includes Donetsk, Lugansk, most of the anti-Kiev areas, and the Russian Federation territory on the Ukraine border.
A chemical catastrophe will provide just one more excuse to delay aid to those in need. If that very tragic event occurs, the government and Secretary of State Kerry can say, "Sorry, this isn't the right type of aid."
