A few kilometers from the province of Donbass, held by pro-Russian separatists, a school was bombed in Ukraine on Thursday February 17. The latter say they responded to fire from the Ukrainian army. Could it start a war?
This is the image that shocks Ukrainians. The debris of a kindergarten hit by artillery fire on the morning of Thursday, February 17, in Stanitsa Luhanska (Ukraine). Employees were present at the time of the attack, at 8:45 a.m. In the school sports hall, the bricks are strewn on the ground, in the middle of the balls. Women explained to the editorial staff of 20 Heures that about twenty children were present when the explosion took place. Luckily they were having breakfast upstairs.
These heavy weapon strikes have multiplied in recent hours, on a line of contact that separates the regions between pro-Russian separatists and Ukraine. The village of Stanitsa Luhanska is located precisely on this front line. “This kind of very symbolic strike could be the start of a spiral that would lead to all-out war”says Maryse Burgot, special correspondent in Ukraine.
