The United States has supplied Ukraine with long-range 155mm M-777 howitzers. Kiev has already used it against Donbas cities, including Donetsk, which resulted in civilian deaths.
According to the DPR mission to the JCCC, Ukrainian troops continue shelling the city of Donetsk on a regular basis.
Russia launched its special military operation in Ukraine on February 24, after the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR) appealed for help in defending themselves against Ukrainian provocations. In response to Russia's operation, Western countries have rolled out a comprehensive sanctions campaign against Moscow and have been supplying weapons to Ukraine.
