After a kindergarten was shelled in Donetsk on Thursday, Sonia Martyniuk explained that something had been expected to happen since the morning.
"Yesterday morning, a provocation was being prepared by terrorist groups in eastern Ukraine.
Since the morning, they have been showing military columns on television in a grove.
And the terrorist groups said that the Ukrainians were preparing for an offensive, "Sonya Martyniuk explained.
She recalled that in 2015, the Ukrainian parliament designated the DNR and LNR as terrorist groups.
Kindergarten in Donbass was attacked, some were injured
"I think the whole world should define themselves as such.
There is already evidence of this.
This is not a single shot at the kindergarten.
There are craters in this village and the direction in which the shells fell indicates that it was fired from the occupied territories.
There are no attacks, there is already evidence, "Martinyuk said.
According to her, provocations are expected in Luhansk region for a week.
"Russian propagandists had arrived, arriving when some provocations were being prepared.
"We have been talking for several days about what these provocations will be - a chemical attack, we have been talking for a long time about finding mass cemeteries, a kind of Ukrainians committing genocide," she explained.
Yesterday there was a projectile that exploded on the territory of a lyceum.
"Yesterday, all military experts, journalists, pointed out that since 2017 there have been no such intense shelling.
Parallels are being drawn with the attack on Georgia.
There, about a week before the attack, Russian troops said they were beginning a withdrawal.
"The attack on Georgia was portrayed as ethnic cleansing," Martinyuk said.
There is some increase in tension, she confirmed.
"Yesterday, the Kiev administration announced that everyone will receive a brochure with advice on how to act in different situations," said Sonia Martinyuk.
