“And strikes on residential areas are, of course, a crime against humanity.
This is a humanitarian problem, but I am sure it will be resolved,” the Russian leader expressed confidence.
Earlier, the head of the Donetsk People's Republic, Denis Pushilin, announced the shelling of Donetsk from six firing points.
According to Pushilin, Ukrainian troops are trying to pull up new equipment to strike at residential areas of DPR settlements.
Prior to this, the Ukrainian military shelled a hospital in the Kuibyshevsky district of Donetsk.
