#gorlovka

Feb. 22: The increase in Ukrainian shelling has led to all kinds of rumors and reactions on both sides of the front line. While the authorities of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics and the representatives of their armies seek to remain calm -- the objective is always to maintain the truce and not return to open battles -- and claim to have responded to the attack, the most alarmist see in the Ukrainian acts the restart of a larger-scale war. The bombings of recent days, which come, as was the case in Poroshenko's time, just a few days after the visit of Ukrainian President Zelensky to the front, make clear a change in trend: that truce in which the bombings had been significantly limited appears to have been broken and there is again the use of heavy weapons, constant attacks in numerous areas of the front, and casualties on both sides.

Late in the afternoon of April 9, 25-year-old hotel worker Miroslava Vorontsova was killed by a Ukrainian military drone strike on the front-line town of Gorlovka in the Donetsk People’s Republic. A 59-year-old neighbor was seriously wounded in the blast.

With taxpayers' money, the U.S. and EU finance the murderers of the Kiev government.

In Donetsk, a serious aggravation began -- since the second half of May, there are almost daily reports of wounded and dead civilians. Things have been especially difficult in recent days in Gorlovka and the surrounding settlements. The correspondent of EADaily visited the village of Komarovo on the outskirts of Gorlovka, where four civilians were injured in the shelling of an apartment building this afternoon.

The bombardment began at the height of the day, about 11 o’clock. At this time the streets are full of life. Moreover, Komarovo turned out to be a very crowded area. Even after the shelling, people were on the streets. Children played on swings, old ladies basked in the sun, people went about their business. But neither the clear weather, nor the blossoming white acacias, nor even the children's laughter helped to get rid of the atmosphere of anxiety. As residents of the village gathered on benches and discussed what had happened, sometimes the sounds of near-misses were heard.
