The shelling of the Donbass which claimed 14,000 lives has continued for 8 years...

That is a favorite talking point of Putin's propaganda teams. Are you posting from St. Petersburg or Moscow?

About 14,000 people have died in the war in the Donbass that Russia started in 2014. Of that number most are soldiers, about 1/2 from the Ukraine, and about 1/2 from Russia or their allied DNR and LNR militias. The shelling not surprisingly goes both ways, just like it does right now.

If you look at the OSCE monitoring reports from before when Russia started invading Ukraine this year the shelling often started from the Russian held side and then return fire came from the Ukrainians.

The claim that Ukraine shelling caused the deaths on both sides is just more ridiculous Russian propaganda.
