HARD DAY FOR DONETSK - 5 KILLED, 23 WOUNDED TODAY, MAY 17TH.

May 17, 2023 As a result of the morning shelling of the Petrovsky district, 3 people were injured, 2 others died. The number of dead and wounded during the day increased - so far five people have died as a result of shelling by the AFU. 24 people were injured, including a 13-year-old teenager. Everyone gets the necessary medical care.

25 residential buildings and five civil infrastructure facilities were damaged.

Nazis shelled Petrovsky when people were going to work this morning. A shell hit a bus stop between the Trudovsky (“Laborers”) neighborhood and Dobrovolskogo (“Volunteers”) neighborhood on Petrovsky Blvd. A man was wounded, two people in their car stopped to help. A moment later, another shell slammed into the bus stop, killing them both.

Ilona Chmyruk was a golden person, a nurse who was known by all Petrovsky! Valery Generalov was a man from the village of Trudovsky, who recently buried his mother … And now he himself has become a victim of the Nazis! Sergey Glazkin is wounded, we pray for his health!

Three people were killed in shelling of a grossery shop in Donetsk.

Today, a young man was killed in Gorlovka, DPR. The shelling continues.
