The Ukrainian government forces and rebels claim that the other fired their shells first from the 17th (17th), and it is in the eastern Donbas region that the theory of a war crisis has been heightened.
No casualties have been reported yet, but the area is attracting attention as a detonator for war at any time.

There is a big hole in the kindergarten wall.
Beneath the walls are children’s playing balls and spilled bricks scattered across the street.
Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the Ukrainian government forces and pro-Russian rebels have sparked a debate over who attacked each other first.
The kindergarten is located in Lugansk in the now-rebel-controlled Donbas region.
The rebels claimed that government forces fired another shell at Donetsk, this time in Donbas, following the previous day.
The international community is paying attention to Donbas, where the news of shelling has been delivered for two days in a row.
Here, where the Ukrainian government forces and rebels have waged a civil war for eight years, Russian residents are still claiming independence and segregation.
When a pro-Western government came into power in 2014 and Russia forcibly annexed Crimea through a referendum, they even declared the ‘Lugansk People’s Republic’ and ‘The Donetsk People’s Republic’, saying they would become independent.
These republics have not yet been recognized as official states.
The problem is that despite the Russian government’s denial, the rebels are most likely to become a ‘war detonator’ with the support of the Russian military.
British media also analyzed that Russia effectively controls Donbass.
This is why Russia is pointed out as the easiest place to conduct a ‘do-it-yourself play’ to make it appear that the Ukrainian government forces will attack first to justify the invasion.
An armistice agreement has been signed to stop conflicts in this region, but it has not been properly followed due to intensifying conflicts between Russia and the West, and between government forces and rebels.
