    Thanks....that's from 2014.....do you think that's 'proof' ? How do you explain and reconcile the following extracted from the 2014 report you linked in terms of your claim 'Ukrainian forces deliberately target civilians in Donetsk still to this day!' ? And where's your proof it continues to this day ?

    In a visit to the affected area of Kievskiy on Monday, Amnesty International delegates saw a large rebel artillery piece sitting in the middle of a residential street, less than 10 metres from a house. “By basing military targets in residential areas, rebel forces have failed to take all feasible precautions to protect civilians and have endangered civilians in violation of the laws of war,” said John Dalhuisen.“By carrying out military operations in the neighbourhood, rebel forces share responsibility for these latest attacks with the Ukrainian forces.” A local council building and numerous homes were also reportedly hit today in the Kievskiy district, a largely residential area bordering Donetsk airport. It is feared that other civilians may have been injured or killed in the attacks.Both parties to the conflict employ Grad rockets, which are notoriously imprecise and should not be used in civilian areas. Both sides have been responsible for a pattern of indiscriminate attacks on populated areas, killing and injuring civilians and destroying their homes. Over the past 10 days, Amnesty International found evidence of indiscriminate attacks by rebel fighters hitting civilian areas in Debaltseve, northwest of Donetsk, and Avdiivka, just north of Donetsk airport.“The use of indiscriminate weapons in populated areas, such as unguided rockets and mortars, violates international humanitarian law and may amount to a war crime,” said John Dalhuisen.“All parties to a conflict must take all feasible precautions in the choice of means and methods of warfare with a view to avoiding, and in any event to minimizing, incidental loss of civilian life, injury to civilians and damage to civilian objects.

    The facts seem to me to be in stark contrast to the way you've presented your claim....don't you think ?
