On Easter, the Ukrainian Armed Forces fired "Happy Easter" shells in the direction of settlements in the area of Russia's Energodar (Zaporozhye), Energodar authorities state.
"On the great Orthodox Easter holiday, the Armed Forces of Ukraine (UAF) fired several 120mm caliber shells in the direction of settlements in the area of Energodar. One of the shells did not explode completely, entered the soft ground. A fragment read 'Happy Easter.' This serves as more proof of the inhuman appearance of the UAF," a representative of the Energodar administration stated.
Later, the city authorities added that there was a video on the Internet in which Ukrainian militants were seen loading 120mm shells with a similar inscription.
"We do not exclude that these were exactly the ammunition from the video," the authorities outlined.
On Easter night, Ukrainian troops also shelled Donetsk, with several rockets landing near a cathedral where an Orthodox Easter service was being held. As a result of the shelling, one woman was killed and six other people were injured, the Donetsk People’s Republic's mission to the Joint Center for Control and Coordination (JCCC) of issues related to Ukrainian war crimes said on Telegram.
