More shelling in eastern Ukraine leaves residents scared
- 10 years ago
Residents in the Russian speaking city of Donetsk in eastern Ukraine survey the damages after the city comes under heavy shelling.
For months, the city has been a rebel stronghold but as Ukrainian troops close in, fighting intensifies.
This man was hit by shrapnel and taken away in an ambulance. Others cleared shards of shattered glass from their apartments.
People came to my house and broke everything, this woman said. And they took my husband.
150 kilometers away Ukrainian government forces are also fighting separatists in Luhansk.
Smoke rises on the horizon as the assault on rebels continues.
This city has been isolated for weeks. Residents here are without water and electricity and phone connections.
A convoy of trucks said to be carrying relief supplies for people in those hard hit regions waits at the Russia-Ukraine border for approval.
The convoy is from Russia, and some believe it could be a Trojan horse-bringing military supplies
