She reported this on Espreso TV live on air.

"Unfortunately, multiple rocket launchers have already reached Slovyansk, that is why there is such an insane number of shelling of the city. During the second week, such terrible events are taking place every day in Slovyansk, every day we have dead and wounded people. Civilian infrastructure suffers significantly, primarily high-rise buildings and private residential buildings. The sanatorium, the central market and other objects that have nothing to do with the military issue were hit." the spokeswoman of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration said. 

Tetiana Ignatchenko says that the Russians are attacking Sloviansk completely chaotically, just to increase panic and cause losses to the civilian population.

"In addition, the situation regarding the fields has worsened, the enemy is deliberately hitting the fields and setting them on fire, and we have significant losses in this sector on the territory of the region," Ignatchenko added.
