 here's a link from 2015. Kiev started shelling the Donetsk region the year before

there are tons of sources on this. it's merely a matter of finding a source you'd be comfortable with trusting

 So, Kyiv started shelling Donetsk region in 2014, although the article says 2015. Why Kyiv started shelling Donetsk specifically? Unfortunatelly I don't see clear answer in this article, can you say it clearly? 


Some notes about the article:

- Photos broken, I would like to see and analize them
- Pepe Escobar (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Pepe_Escobar). "Escobar has also been a commentator for RT and Sputnik News. According to the GEC, both outlets are members of "Russia's disinformation and propaganda ecosystem"
- https://europaobjektiv.com/ - very strange news outlet. 
 
 quote from article - "Europa Objektiv, a German-based non-governmental media project"

interesting, why "german-based" media project registered in Tbilisi
