Ukraine strikes Russian-occupied Donetsk region

Three civilians had been killed and eight more injured after a Ukrainian missile struck a restaurant in Donetsk city, Denis Pushilin, the Russian-installed head of east Ukraine's Donetsk region, said in a statement posted on the Telegram messaging app.
Donetsk, which fell under the control of Russian-backed separatists in 2014, regularly came under Ukrainian shelling after Moscow ordered tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, but became more secure after Kyiv's troops were forced from its outskirts earlier this year.

Ukraine has been doing this for 10 years.

[@YesItsReallyKeith]

why is that ? add some context for your comment... share the truth and what exactly happened 10 years ago that would have made Ukraine start 'doing this' !!!

[@KRShields]

Ukraine has been striking that region since 2014. Its the exact reason russia is in control of it now.

[@seanniemeyer5437]

Russia was in control of it in 2014. Russia has been targeting Ukrainian civilians since 2014.

If Russlad had not interfered, Ukraine would have managed to stop the uprising in Donbas. It is Russia and pro-Russian extremists who started the war in 2014

[@MIDAZOLAMIDE]

This just proves that ukraine doesn't view the people of donbas as ukrainians they view them as russians And they are real russians , about 40% percent of ukraine speak russian most of them in the east and crimea as i recall

[@seanniemeyer5437]

Most Ukrainians speak russian due to soviet Russification programs. Yet the majority of the donbas population is ethic Ukrainian.

В городе нет оборудованных огневых позиций в отличии например от того же Харькова и с военной точки зрения обстрелы Белгорода являются ни чем иным как военным преступлением и терроризмом.

Replaying Russian videos is reporting? Is there a story? Treating Russian video as reality without any checking, or, at the very least, a comment from the Ukraine side is completely absurd. When has Pushilin ever made a truthful statement to the Western press? This is not journalism, this is Russian trolling.

[@zmilorad]

When has ever CNN told the truth and ubiasedly reported? What is the difference?

[@jaimemartinez9792]

There was an earlier strike of where Russian military and pro-Russian secessionists gathered to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of "referendums" held on May 11 in 2014 for these oblasts. It was reportedly done by a HIMARS strike. I'm pretty sure this was it.

[@stream2watch]

These were Russian military and pro-Russian secessionists that came together to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the May 11 "referendums" from 2014.

[@kristinmccall4665]

The terror happening in Donetsk is how Russia is completely leveling towns such as Bakhmut, Chasiv Yar, etc. Ukraine striking military and terrorists is not the same thing as Russia targeting hospitals, apartments and schools.
