About 20km (12 miles) from the Donetsk breakaway republic, in eastern Ukraine, I got a glimpse of clashing views about Russia’s invasion as people did some early morning shopping on Thursday.
"Just bear in mind that the Donbas is pleased things turned out like this," one white-haired woman said, when I told her I was a journalist from the BBC.
"Because how much can they bomb Donetsk?" she went on. "Or don’t you realise that they are bombing?"
She was telling me that the Ukrainian military had been bombing Donetsk - a Ukrainian city that was seized by Russian-backed rebels in 2014 - and saying the people of the wider region, the Donbas, supported the latest Russian action.

Hier en daar hebben Oekraiense soldaten in Donbas hun post verlaten en werd in dorpen en steden enthousiast de Russische driekleur gehesen, nog voor de komst van de Russen.
Ik heb dit van Oekraiense vrienden, maar jan kloppen zelfs op het journaal al beelden van gezien.
