Civilians in government-controlled areas of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region are experiencing intensified shelling from Russia-backed separatists. Olha Omelyanchuk, a reporter from RFE/RL's Ukrainian Service, visited two towns to survey the damage and talk to shaken residents.

Shelling intensified after Moscow recognized separatist-held areas as independent states and ordered Russian troops to the territory.
