Pushilin spoke about the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ strikes on Donetsk from HIMARS

< br />
MOSCOW, February 20 Before the liberation of Avdeevka, Kiev hit Donetsk with artillery, and now it is using HIMARS, while there is no military expediency in the new strikes, this is just an attempt to create a “background” after the shameful flight of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, said the head of the DPR Denis Pushilin.
“»Before the liberation of Avdievka, the enemy had the opportunity to carry out such attacks with simple artillery, which is relatively inexpensive in terms of the cost of shells. Now we see that today's shelling… was using HIMARS missiles,» Pushilin said.
He noted that before there had been a lot of chaotic shelling — the Ukrainian Armed Forces «were working around the city to arouse appropriate sentiments among the civilian population.»

«The two HIMARS missiles that flew in the area of ​​the Krupskaya library indicate that there is no military expediency. Here we only see the enemy’s desire to create some kind of background after their shameful flight from Avdiivka,» — added the agency's interlocutor.
