The Ukrainian armed forces carried out a terrorist attack against a crowded market in Donetsk yesterday, when it came under artillery fire. There are no military targets near the market or even in the city quarter, so their intention was clearly to kill civilians. The terrorist attack took place on Sunday, the day after the Orthodox Epiphany, when the market is full of people. Currently, 27 dead and at least 20 wounded have been confirmed. Children are also among the wounded. The Donetsk Children's Union deeply sympathizes with the families of the victims. Mothers and fathers died there, children were left orphans. As a result of what happened, we continue our work with redoubled strength! Every child's life matters, support our work too!
