Throughout the day there are heavy rifle battles near Donetsk. By evening, the situation worsened, mortars and self-propelled guns went into action.
The peaceful population that remains there, is terrified by what is happening and sits in the cellars for days. People asking the head of the DPR only one question: “When, finally, there will be an offensive and the Ukrainian militants will be thrown back from the residential development of the peaceful Russian city of Donetsk.”
