UKRAINE has been accused of war crimes after a hotel housing international journalists in the eastern city of Donetsk was shelled for an eighth consecutive day today.

A Donetsk maternity hospital was also reportedly struck in a missile attack this morning with at least 10 people injured.

“They kill children, women, old people, destroy infrastructure and houses,” a separatist official said, accusing them of not fighting the army, but the civilian population of Donbass.
