While walking in a beautiful pedestrian cafe & park area yesterday, taking some videos to share when I have time, I passed a few soldiers sitting on a bench. When I came back a little later, we chatted (in broken English and very broken not quite Russian [me]). One had spent 2 years in Syria and when I said goodbye he was trying to find the words to say something to me in English but remembered it in Arabic: Allah yahmeeki (الله يحميكي ) : God protect you

This to me, while he is exposed to far more danger, prolonged...

I wasn't in Donetsk today, but once again Ukraine shelled the city heavily. This is terrorism.

With thanks to the wonderful Andrei Martyanov

Shelling started...

❗️⚡️The shelling of the central districts of Donetsk continue unabated for the fifth hour

Residents of the houses along the streets of Universitetskaya and Artyoma report that they are hiding in the corridor with children. Houses are shaking from powerful landings and explosions.

The shelling of the Kirovsky and Petrovsky districts resumed.

There are dead and wounded civilians.

Two employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of the DPR were killed in the line of duty. Three rescuers were injured of varying severity.

❗️⚡️Обстрелы центральных районов Донецка продолжаются не ослабевая уже пятый час

Жители домов по улицам Университетской и Артема сообщают, что прячутся в коридоре с детьми. Дома сотрясаются от мощных приземлений и взрывов.

Возобновились обстрелы Кировского и Петровского районов.

Есть погибшие и раненые мирные жители.

Двое сотрудников МЧС ДНР погибли при исполнении служебных обязанностей. Трое спасателей получили ранения различной степени тяжести.

"Headquarters of the DNR reports:

As a result of today's shelling by the AFU in the Donetsk People's Republic, the death toll rose to 5 people and 17 more were wounded

During the day, about 50 shells of 155 mm caliber were fired at the center of the city by Ukrainian militants in Avdeevka."

Outcome of today’s shelling of Donestk city by Ukrainian forces. Western weaponry is contributing to this massacre. This is only 1 site from dozens. 300 shells fell today.

Till this date, these bombardments have struck 0 military personnel and 0 military structures/equipment that can be visually identified.

Russian reporters report these attacks immediately with video evidence.

I want to remind you that Russian AD is taking down many of these attacks, counter battery is also active to suppress this artillery and Russian/DNR governments have already evacuated dozens of thousands of civilians to Russia before the war. Despite all of this daily civilian casualties are taking place.

These attacks are happening infront of the eyes of Western governments and media outlets who choose not to report on these and when they do they blatantly lie while using footage from Russian journalists and say it is a Russian bombardment to deceive the average viewer who does not know who controls Donestk city.
