And here I was being told that Russia was just dropping by a couple of separatist regions by invitation and wasn't going to invade. I'm getting ready for those goalposts to move like lightning. Oh no, that's not imperialist bullying, merely a light shelling.

There has been no shelling of civilian targets.
