From a discussion, published 20 December, between Denis Pushilin, Acting Head of Donetsk People’s Republic, and Russian Russia's president Putin:
Vladimir Putin: With regard to shelling, as far as I understand, the Ukrainian forces are targeting residential areas of Donetsk.
Denis Pushilin: Yes, what we see is targeted firing of shells into large areas in Donetsk, Makeyevka, and Horlivka. In Donetsk alone, 21 people died and 94 were wounded, and 460 buildings were damaged from December 2 to December18.

I haven't followed the death toll with the attacks covered here, partly in his span and partly past. It seems many are injured, some severely, but few deaths are reported. Nonetheless, what keeps happening daily or almost hourly is state-sponsored terrorism by the Western-backed forces of the Maidan Junta in Kyiv. Artillery shells and rockets hit homes, but mainly streets, schools, the water system, heating plants, hospitals, churches, public markets, public transit, government officials, centers of administration and emergency response, and symbols of Russian culture.
And they have the audacity to say - for almost nine years running - that they aren't doing this; it's either made up or when proven, the Russians or the DPR are shelling their own over & over, vainly trying to make Ukraine look bad. It was this shelling and children hiding from it rather than attending school that former Ukrainian president Poroshenko bragged would let his side win the civil war in the Donbas. If pressed, he'd say the Russians/DPR were going to win the war for him with this relentless terror shelling of their own people.

my ballistic analysis of shelling in September and December: week 1, week 2, week 3 here, and I think I'll re-arrange the dates a bit to skip late November, have 8 days covered in each post and maybe a 4th post soon to cover Christmas day to January 1. week 3 f/c). The work is technically amateur but sound, illustrated and open to challenge. What it lacks in technical precision it makes up for in depth of proof that the shells hitting Donetsk come from the direction of Ukrainian-held areas mainly to the northwest, and sometimes the west, southwest, or roughly north.
Repeated claims the fire comes from the Russian-held east fall apart on analysis (some examples in the above links - I don't think I have any to add for week 3). A few cases are unclear and so far ONE suggests impact from the east (see December 6, entry "6I 50-richchya SRSR St"), but they come amid numerous hits from the other way. If it's 10 shells from the NW (as it seems), it's probably Ukraine and the other one might be a drone strike with a U-turn at the end. Otherwise, if that's impossible because "missiles can't U-turn," then the Russians did it, with 10 of the missiles U-turning, just leaving this one to expose their clever plot, their latest crime against reality.
Another guy ("Andrew Perpetua") picked a roof impact he hadn't seen (no one had), drew an arrow pointing east to Russians, did it on an upside down map so it looked like west, mumbled something about the Russians claiming something, then flipped the map over to reveal ... his pointing to the Russians, with an arrow on a map - to proves all the rockets came from them, from the east. That was December 15. There were some 40 rockets that day. I've mapped and analyzed 23 of them. Not all are conclusive, but a good half point NW, general west, and a few clear SW origin. Actual evidence you can see. My maps are right-side-up except where noted, and all the arrows mean something real.
Ok,sorry - will maybe modify & move that intro. Onto week-ish #3, 16-25 December
Note: some days include extra reports and others do not.
Note: times on Telegram posts are supposed to be local time, adjust +10 hours, then 11, then not sure from what I see. Don't take those too serious - some just help clarify a few points or to get an idea of the pace of things (whatever time, it's consistent within a batch - 2 entries 5 minutes apart actually are)
Note: Jan. 1: entries re-ordered to reverse-chronological, cutting Dec. 25 for part 4.

24A) Near "road clinic" (Дорожня Клінічна Лікарня на ст. Донецьк)
One strike area found is at 48.018835,37.7981764. Verified by street view, newer photo. Just light/unclear damage, broken windows can be made out. The apartments across the street (verified by street view) also have light damage. Impact point unclear.
Space for any more detail, worthwhile pics...

24B, C) Donetsk Regional Clinical Traumatology Hospital/ Republican Hospital
https://t.me/wargonzo/9997 gives the name by which GM Labels bring me to 48.021905,37.7980225. Statue match. Facade style match.
https://twitter.com/CL4Syr/status/1606853135754227714
2+ impacts at the trauma hospital - not 100% placed, but probable. I think this is called the Republican hospital. Shell #1 seems to come from close to due north (soil in all directions but back, forward limited by wall). It could also be from the west or northwest, but probably not from any south or east angle. #2 has a small E-W trench. From the west along that line makes the most sense, but I'm not sure how to read that until I see any wall damage, etc.. https://twitter.com/CL4Syr/status/1606871961296330754

24D) Building just behind hospital
In a video filmed mainly around the Republican hospital https://t.me/nm_dnr/9645
... non-descript wall with frag marks - 2011 street view shows a likely enough match just behind the hospital - loose bit of whatever (yellow) the same since 2011 and unchanged by the attack? Odd, but helpful. This is a south facing wall, not directly impacted, but seemingly quite near = probably not from the north (but maybe - it's not a tall place) and the band of frag marks angling up to the right says it came partly from the west. Quite nearby: some structures like grain silos or giant water tanks. They might have some importance and could have been the target of this shell.

24E) Hermana Tytova Ave
https://twitter.com/lnedos/status/1606715318084182016
"Photos: crater from a rocket that hit the driveway of Donetsk Railway Union's Hospital."
Two different craters shown. That place description didn't bring me anywhere on Google Maps.
Both photos also here https://t.me/dnronline/88456
same scene in this video https://t.me/nm_dnr/9645
The first view can be located on Hermana Tytova Ave near the intersection with Schorsa street. Coordinates 48.018918,37.7953776 - view faces northeast - fence with concrete posts is on the south side - not 100% sure it's this spot, but it has trees and a gazebo. Direction: unclear, but I'll venture there's a bit more displacement to the right and away from the camera. The street runs to the northeast and the trajectory is somewhat perpendicular, or from the northwest. The away bit would make it more from the WNW. But again, it's not very clear at this point.
24F, G) 100A Universytets'ka St
I put out a geolocation request for some related scenes, to share the fun, and Val had some great videos to set the scene for at least 4 of them.

Just southwest of Donetsk City mall, 100A Universytetska is unlabeled on Google Maps but behind 100, between Universytetska and Shchorsa Streets - grid: 48.0276168,37.7878383 - a tall and long apartment block. The views aren't the best, but it seems there is a low structure on the east (ENE) corner with another structure nearby to fit the two impacts seen there.

Damage analysis: rocket punched through the inner roof on the south side (red circle) after hitting the outer roof - I think - somewhere on the same side (red box). Roof timbers seem blown out more to the south. Debris spreads both north and south on a similar scale, but more heavily to the south. In general, the shell came in perpendicular to the building, which faces north-northwest. It could be from a bit left or right of straight in. I couldn't say except that left (northwest) has a lot of precedent now.

21 A-C) Artillery Assassination Attempt at Shesh-Besh
The famous event was an assassination attempt on the DPR's prime minister Vitaly Khotsenko and the former director of Russia's space program Dmitry Rogozin at the latter's birthday celebration at a resort just south of Donetsk. Both men were injured, the latter seriously (reportedly losing his penis), a bodyguard was killed, both their wives were injured. The mayor of Gorlovka Ivan Prikhodko was among others injured, and there was at least one other fatality. This got its own post, but not the best one, and hardly anyone contests that Ukraine did this. So FWIW Monitor on Massacre Marketing: "Shesh-Besh" Strike in Donetsk. I could say there was one impact into the restaurant's roof/upper floor, west side, apparently from the northwest. Another hit the ground floor on the west side, apparently from the southwest (but neither direction call is very certain). This impact is the one known to have wounded and killed people. To update - a third impact to the lodgings just south of the restaurant came from the west or maybe southwest.

Roof structure impacted on its west-facing side, and hit well from north of straight in = northwest. Just to the southeast and much lower: a likely heating plant with smokestack - the likely intended target. Another shell may have hit it: a "boiler room" was also damaged.

Found by prior location, labels, confirmed by video-satellite view correlation. Coordinates: 48.0023954,37.8256657
Analysis: a hole punched in the west-facing side, taking out five windows and all between on the 2nd and 3rd floors, maybe into the floor slab between, with some force blowing through the next wall on the 3rd floor into the hallway, through various windows into the courtyard at building's center, causing light damage all around. The angle appears to be close to straight in from the west, maybe a bit from the north or south. The damage to the courtyard's opposite wall extends a ways to the left (north) but seems to extend higher to the right, at the south corner, and higher yet on the north-facing wall to the right. That will include deflection after impact, but might suggest a slight northwest trend. Either way, "west" is about right. That's not very exact, and includes Russian-held territory to about 20-22km out. From there it's Ukrainian.

photo of damage inside - located a ways south of the Kalinin hospital - building's major side faces north. That's all I can say.

9:14 am https://t.me/kulemzin_donetsk/12201 "Consequences of the shelling of the Kyiv region. Chelyuskintsev street, building No. 8 DonNU." Photo. Location: 48.0180921,37.8059276 on Chelyuskintsiv St. - sidewalk near north end. Direction unclear except probably from some northern direction; debris spread a bit south and west, after some probably larger spread to the east has been cleaned up to uncover the trolley tracks.
19D) Prospect Vatutin. Roof hit

"Consequences of the shelling of the Kyiv region. RSK "Olympic", Chelyuskintsev street." Photos.
https://twitter.com/IntelDonets/status/1604647731641085952 (damaged seats)
One impact at the entrance to the stadium, edge of the raised area, knocking some material down into the parking lot, and damaging a sign. Debris spread is greater along the stairs, presumably limited by them. I propose that's because the open side of the crater, held in only by a wall, is the one that gave out, as it would be from probably any angle of impact. But it should probably spread a bit more to the south if it came much from the north. May be more west than I drew below, or really from almost any direction. Not clear.

19G) "Refuge" at Appeals Court
12/19 9:03 am https://t.me/kulemzin_donetsk/12179 "Consequences of the shelling of the Voroshilovsky region. Chelyuskintsev Street, near the Covered Market." Photos of a few locations on Chelyuskintsiv street.
At 48.0118255,37.8080616 is the building with pillared facade. 2011 street view has it labeled Donetsk court of appeals. That sign is gone in 2022. A DPR flag and a paper sign pointing to "УБЕЖЩИЕ" (REFUGE). Does that mean bomb shelter? Hopefully in the basement. The entrance was hit. A west-facing wall = hit partly from the west. Frag marks angle up to the right = partly from the north = northwest. pics f/c.

19H) by "7корпус" (university)
There was at least one impacts in the trees out front of the place too far north to connect to F). 48.0137193,37.8076879 - facade with peak labeled 1950, east-facing wall seen, but not impacted. Can't say much about the impact spot without seeing it clearly. Some photos may show the spent shell on the ground, but not in clear spatial context. Not much to show, then, but it's mapped here - red circle for approximate impact.
Adding: the shell may have impacted the broken tree (red circle). The blown-out section of fence with tree branches piled against the fence nearby MIGHT represent a direction of greatest force (besides down). That's far from sure, but it points back to the northwest.
Others near the hospital but unplaced:
- Kalininskiy apatrtments - unplaced - corner impact from direction of the sun = probably southwest. https://twitter.com/Spriter0000/status/1605126811440005120

Neo-Nazis of the Armed Forces of Ukraine hit the Kalinin region with rocket artillery. The shell hit a residential building near the hospital campus.
short video of that scene: K Boz on Twitter - photo at right: https://t.me/dnronline/88130?single
- Near the Kalinin hospital in Donetsk, damaged by NATO/nazi shelling, garages were demolished, and the nature of the damage is atypical for conventional Grads, with ammunition penetrating a thick layer of ground and the blast knocking out sewer manholes.

Donetsk Neurosurgery Hospital after shelling. As I said before, the Ukrainian army or the AZOV of their militias, which are supported by the West and supplied with weapons by the West, continue to shell hospitals in the city of Donetsk!
https://twitter.com/JailletAlain/status/1605201230707294208
patients and casualties discussed - an injured soldier receiving treatment there was killed by the added injuries from this shelling.
Location: 48.0031283,37.8233885. Geolocation verified - some features explained below. Also the distinctive entrance (blue) is visible in many images. A direct impact to the west (WSW) face means the munition was fired partly from the west (or WSW) - the blast force will be in all directions, so it's not certain which direction buckled that wall (green) a bit to the right, or south. But more than likely, that's somewhat the forward direction - it likely came a bit from the left or north of west.

18B) Near 18 A)
Another damaged area is shown and probably represents a second impact, but I haven't been able to place it yet or say where the impact point is. It looks like it should be the same building, but every spot that nearly matches doesn't quite seem to cut it.
18C) Building 6 roof
Ukrainian troops shelled the Kalininsky district of Donetsk, the shells fell in the area of the Kalinin hospital and the medical university Eyewitnesses report a fire in the 6th building of the hospital. Kalinin. There is information about many wounded, the mayor of Donetsk.

https://twitter.com/ProfessorsBlogg/status/1605633288630042630
Location: not certain, but it's probably the southern building here at the hospital area's SW corner - at 48.0024691,37.8184117 - less damage and peeling on the north side suggests it came partly from the north.

18F) Donetsk administration building
12/19 10:30 am https://t.me/kulemzin_donetsk/12239 "Consequences of yesterday's shelling of the Donetsk administration building." Photos. Location not certain, but likely at Asotsiatsiya Orhaniv Mistsevoho Samovryaduvannya Donetsʹkoyi Oblasti - Google Maps - impact angles not evident from interior views, but if that window faces north, and deflection aside, the impact is from the west-northwest. I don't know but I would bet that window faces north.
Some photos also here https://twitter.com/MeridionaliAura/status/1604854250152288256

17A-B) Donetsk Arena
On the 18th, Donetsk mayor Aleksei Kulemzin would report "The consequences of yesterday's shelling of the Kyiv region." Photos: 2+ impacts around the Donetsk arena. These can be roughly geolocated as:
17A) south parking lot, rocket section apparently failed to embed and skidded ahead.
17B) a bench somewhere in this area - rocket hit the bench, engine embedded, pointing back to where it came from, which seems to match the pattern of darkened pavement.
17C?) pavement to the west, around here, or maybe in the parking lot (maybe the same impact as A from another angle? Just to be safe, I won't count it)
All 3 (or both) indicate arrival from the northwest.
