"The shelling of civilians by armed groups shows that the members of these organizations are simply murderers and looters. Dissatisfaction with frank banditry in the militant-occupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions is growing every day. People want peace, not war and a pseudo-Khanate," the press center said.
