Ukraine has stepped up its attacks on DPR territory, cynically targeting civilian houses in the Republic.
Today five people suffered wounds as AFU shells fell on the village of Sakhanka, two of them are teenagers aged 13.
Three days ago, three girls and an adult were injured.
A while ago, a girl from Gorlovka was killed by a grenade dropped from a drone.
The conclusion is self-evident. Ukraine not just kills Donbass residents, it is targeting children and young people.
The blame for these deaths does rest with Zelensky, who never bothered to give the order to cease fire for the year in power.
Any peacemaking statements by Kiev politicians are lies, since they are refuted by the blood, tears and suffering of children who are being killed and injured by Ukrainian shells.
Ukraine continues to terrorize the population of the Republic, stepping up especially before the holidays significant to us, this time on the eve of Victory Day. Ukrainian armed groups are able to do so because of the connivance and indifference of the international community! We demand that such cynical violations of warfare rules and other humanitarian laws be properly responded to. Another disregard for children’s injuries will open for the war criminals an Overton window tolerating cruelty and impunity. On the eve of Day of the Victory over fascism, we once again call for making every effort to rule out even the potentiality of recurrence of such tragic lessons of history.
