    There are literal pictures in the article.

    Ukraine is the rightful side of this conflict but that does not mean that ugly acts of war are not produced by their side as well. Donetsk city was shelled since the beginning of the war, for example. I wish for Ukraine to win soon and a just peace to ensue so this kind of shit can not happen.

      Hold on:

      Even Wagner boss Prigozhin admitted recently that [everyone knows] that Ukraine did not shell Donetsk, they only attacked military positions.

      Don’t fall for Russian propaganda and don’t repeat it.

      (For those who think “but both sides”: Donetsk looked better after 8 years of supposed “Ukrainian artillery shelling” than any other place looked after a week of “Russian liberation”.)

      PS: I didn’t downvote as I hope this was an hones mistake. And yes, I know Ukrainians have done wrong things too, but I will point out whenever I see falsehoods posted.

      There are images of a burning building. We can’t tell who hit it and with what.

      From the article itself:

      Kostrubitsky said Ukrainian forces used cluster munitions in the shelling that caused the blaze. Reuters could not independently verify the information. Both sides have used cluster munitions in the course of Russia’s 17-month invasion of Ukraine.

      such lovely propagana.

      Oh. they have pictures. It absolutely must have been the Ukranians who sent the cluster bombs. absolutely couldn’t have been the russians then taking pictures. not at all. russians would never do that. they’re so upstanding and integriful. or something.

      /s Russian propaganda is Russian propaganda… and it’s surprisingly transparent.
