“Federal Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier expressed shock at the shelling of a bus stop in Donetsk. “It is absolutely obvious,” he said, that there are strong and unscrupulous groups between the conflicting parties that have no interest in stopping the violence, and therefore interfere when any efforts are made in this direction,” the publication writes.
The minister believes that those in Moscow and Kyiv who are serious about a peaceful solution must now “do everything to ensure that the spiral of violence and counter-violence is stopped.” “If we want to use perhaps the last chance for a political solution,” said Frank-Walter Steinmeier, “there is not much time left.”
After heavy fighting around Donetsk airport, Kyiv forces retreated from the destroyed airport's main terminal on Thursday. The offensive of the Donetsk and Lugansk militia began in response to sharply escalated mass shelling of the cities of the DPR and LPR. Yesterday On January 22, a trolleybus and tram stop was shelled in Donetsk, as the DPR leadership suggests, by a Kyiv sabotage group using a portable mortar. As a result of the shelling, 15 civilians were killed on the spot and more than 20 were seriously injured.
