On Sunday, the office of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) at the Joint Centre for Control and Coordination of the Ceasefire Regime (JCCC) said that the Ukrainian armed forces had used 1,120 munitions over the past 24 hours.
In the video filmed in Donetsk on Sunday morning, artillery fire could be heard on the outskirts of the city as the evacuation of civilians from the region to Russia is underway amid deteriorating tensions.
A Sputnik correspondent reported that based on the sounds, the intensity of the shelling could be defined as medium.
On Friday, the authorities of the DPR and the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic (LPR) started the evacuation of civilians to Russia's Rostov region, fearing military aggression by the Ukrainian government and intensified shelling from Kiev’s forces.
The evacuation comes as DPR head Denis Pushilin expects Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to order an offensive against the self-proclaimed republics in the near future. On Saturday, leaders of the DPR and LPR signed decrees on general mobilisation in the republics.
