Denis Pushilin, the head of the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic”, says “all necessary allied reinforcements, mainly Russia’s, will be asked for help due to the shelling of Donetsk and other settlements,” according to Pushilin’s Telegram channel. “Our enemy has literally crossed the line, they are using brutal warfare methods, shelling the residential areas of Donetsk,” Pushilin says. Russia’s state-controlled media have reported numerous shellings of Donetsk today.
