While there are also reasons to believe that there are some false-flag shelling it is pretty obvious that Ukrainian forces have killed civilians with artillery strikes. History is full such cases and in this conflict OSINT works, like in Syria in every direction.
Firn--right now there is an active false flag operation being carried out by the Russian mercenaries in their shelling from the Ukraine into Russia which is being used by Russian to argue the Ukrainian Army needs to rein in their shelling's of civilians and the Russian border---the shelling's are coming from areas where they are no UA/NG units based.

Interfax released a statement today indicating the FSB had counted 15 impacts on Russian soil but somehow that same glorious FSB "seems" to be unable to count the tanks, SAM11s, artillery, BM21s and hundreds of Russian mercenaries who are crossing in the opposite direction.

The FSB must be totally asleep at the wheel when it comes to looking westward.
