Original Note:
There is currently no independently-verified evidence that links Ukraine to the shelling. None has been provided by Russia. Referring to Ukraine as 'neo-Nazi' is a recurring theme of Russian disinformation. It is Russia that uses neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine. https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/01/29/ukrainian-shelling-of-donetsk-kills-3-russia-says-a83895 https://www.trmlabs.com/post/who-is-task-force-rusich-the-neo-nazi-paramilitary-group-sanctioned-by-ofac-yesterday https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2023/07/07/the-wagner-group-explained/ https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/the-facts-on-de-nazifying-ukraine/ https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/the-neo-nazi-regime-in-ukraine-was-created-by-the-west
