With all the weapons being sent to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, responsibility for artillery attacks on the Donbass belong to the US now.

[RIA Novosti] First Deputy Representative of Russia to the UN Dmitry Polyansky called on the United States to respond to the shelling of Donetsk by the Ukrainian army.
The diplomat reposted on Twitter a photograph showing smoke rising from the outskirts of the city after a mortar attack from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
"While the West continues to hype around Russia \'s imaginary plans to attack Ukraine, the Ukrainian army openly continues its habitual shelling of residential areas, to kill and maim civilians, brazenly violating the Minsk agreements. Where is the reaction of the US envoy under UN ?" Polansky wrote.
Earlier today, the shelling of the outskirts of Donetsk was reported at the DPR representative office in the joint center for monitoring and coordinating the ceasefire regime. This was confirmed by the head of the city administration Alexei Kulemzin.
Last night, Bloomberg posted the headline "Russia Invades Ukraine" on its website. It was soon removed, the agency said it was a mistake and promised to investigate. A few hours later, the German tabloid Bild released its material - a report by unnamed secret services about Moscow 's alleged "plan" to annex Ukraine. The same article cited a comment from the Russian embassy calling the allegations "a strange mixture of speculation and rumor."
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov, commenting on the Bloomberg publication, noted that such messages could lead to irreparable consequences. The State Duma called them an information blow to Russia, contributing to the growth of instability and whipping up hysteria.
Relations between Russia and the West have become even more tense in recent months. Washington and Brussels accuse Moscow of preparing an "invasion" of Ukraine and, against this background, are strengthening their presence in Eastern Europe.
In Russia, they reject all claims and remind that Kiev does not comply with the Minsk agreements: the Ukrainian authorities have concentrated half of the army’s personnel near the line of contact and fire at the militias from prohibited weapons.
The Kremlin and the Foreign Ministry have repeatedly noted that the goal of stuffing about "aggression" is to build up a foreign group near the Russian borders. They also explained that the main reason for the escalation of the situation is the actions of the United States and NATO , which are pumping up Ukraine with weapons, thereby pushing it towards military adventures.
At the end of last year, Russia handed over to the United States and its allies draft documents on security guarantees. The main demand was the non-expansion of NATO to the east, but it was precisely his Western partners, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry, that they ignored in a written response.
