The situation in Donetsk

The Russians occupied Donetsk in 2014. Recently, the city has been regularly reporting explosions.

For example, on September 14, there were reports of "incidents" in Donetsk, and smoke was rising near the railway station.

At the beginning of autumn, the occupiers claimed an alleged attack in the center of Donetsk. At that time, the Voroshilov and Kyivsky districts were under attack.
