Number of Bomb Attacks is Increasing in Eastern Ukraine

Hromadske International co-hosts Ian Bateson and Nataliya Gumenyuk speak about Gumenyuk's recent trip to Donbas.

Gumenyuk noted that the situation has escalated around the Donetsk airport with more heavy artillery and tanks. The number of bomb attacks in areas along the current divide between separatist and Ukrainian held territories has increased as well in the past several weeks and the humanitarian situation is "getting worse every day," said Gumenyuk.

Gumenyuk, who is blacklisted in by the separatists in eastern Ukraine, traveled to the region for a week and visited all of the area's major hotspots, as well as the city of Donetsk itself.
