Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday he had spoken with European Council President Charles Michel about the shelling in Donbas, writes CNN.

Both Ukrainian armed forces and separatists controlling parts of eastern Ukraine spoke of renewed shelling in the region early Thursday. Video and images confirmed by CNN show that a pre-school in Ukrainian-controlled territory was hit by a shell Thursday.

Zelensky said he had informed Michel of “the security situation and today’s provocative shelling, in particular in Stanytsia Luhanska”.

He also said he thanked him “for the initiative of the donors’ conference in support of Ukraine”.
