Locals on daily shelling of Horlivka by Ukrainian forces — "Our children don't know where to hide anymore," people say

Horlivka residents say that this had never happened before, not even in 2014-2015.

The footage shows a woman from a family of the man suffered from the Ukrainian shelling. Doctors are still fighting for his life.
When she arrived home, the injured man was lying against the window, covered in blood and shrapnel. In a conversation with Readovka correspondent Rostislav Shorokhov, the woman said that Horlivka is shelled literally every day with shells falling into random places.

"They attack every day without stopping. We went to Donetsk yesterday and came back to Horlivka and saw shrapnel in our yard. It is happening all over again. Is this a life? It is an agony! Our children don't know where to hide. We sleep with our clothes on, there was no such thing in 14-15 years. <...> Did he [the injured man] deserve this? He went to work normally, he's not a pensioner yet...," the woman said.

Another woman was also wounded as a result of the shelling in Horlivka. Her husband said that she had been taken to hospital. Everything in the house was ruined: things and furniture, windows were broken, and the walls were badly damaged.

The man said: "It's not the first time, I was hit two months ago and still have scars on my face."
