The Ukrainian drone that struck a bus in the DPR was armed with a large warhead, causing the vehicle to quickly catch fire and be completely destroyed.

It happened at night, when the people on the bus were sleeping. Those who survived the impact helped the wounded escape. The bus quickly caught fire.

46 people were inside the bus at the moment of the attack.

A total of 53 people were registered for the trip, including three children aged 10 to 15. The bodies of the victims have not yet been identified due to their severe burns and the loss of their documents.

The Ukrainians aren't even trying to get their "separatist regions" back anymore. Even the Russians aren't dumb enough to forget that abusing civilians is not going to allow them to accept a change in leadership later.

Even the Russians aren’t dumb enough

What is the purpose of this comment? I actually stopped to double check the username because this sounded like a lost redditfronter. How do you expect to build a socialist world when you have so much contempt for the rest of the planet? Westerners aren't beating the literally unable to see people outside the imperial core as actual humans allegations anytime soon.

My bad, I was commenting on Western portrayals of Russians as mindless orcs. From the way the Ukrainians are acting, they clearly do not care about their Russo-Ukrainian citizens. In comparison, it seems that Russia cares much more about the fate of Ukraine's citizens.

I realize that I've yet go ever ask but, why exactly is it called the Dontesk People's Republic? What was the impetus to choose the term "People's Republic" rather than just Dontesk Republic, or something else? I'm only aware of the large term progression of Dontesk up to the current war, but am unfortunately ignorant of its more fine internal politics.
