12-year-old Volodya from Donetsk lost his leg after the Armed Forces of Ukraine fired at his house with NATO weapons. Doctors say that recently the injuries of local residents have become more serious due to the "more aggressive NATO ammunition" that Ukraine uses.

On May 26, the acting head of the DPR, Denis Pushilin, said that the Armed forces of Ukraine subjected Donetsk to intensified shelling on the ninth anniversary of the start of the conflict. So, the Kalininsky district of the city at 9 o'clock in the morning was shelled from American-made HIMARS multiple launch rocket systems.
