He told RIA Novosti about this.
“The two HIMARS missiles that flew in the area of the Krupskaya library indicate that there is no military expediency. Here we only see the enemy’s desire to create some kind of background after their shameful flight from Avdiivka,” he said.
At the same time, the head of the DPR noted that if earlier the Ukrainian Armed Forces could hit Donetsk with simple artillery with relatively inexpensive shells, then after the liberation of Avdiivka it became more difficult to do this and the Ukrainians already have to resort to long-range, but more expensive HIMARS to strike civilians in the city.
Earlier, Pushilin reported that one person was killed and five more were injured as a result of shelling of the Kievsky district of Donetsk by the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
