Ukrainian forces have been shelling civilian areas in the Donbass since 2014. How much of a stretch is it to believe they would use them as human shields as well? We don't know for sure what is happening on the ground but speculation can go both ways.

How many civilian victims there were each year, etc. I guess to understand the scale of the issue... to see if it's more like an active terror campaign with a city/village being shelled every single day (like the joint Russian/Assad terror campaigns in the northwest of Syria), or more like something else. If it looks more like a former, then yes, I'll accept that UA gov doesn't care about civilians there.
