The Ukrainians have been shelling the far eastern provinces for the past several years because there's a large amount of Russian separatists in those areas. It increased drastically in the weeks leading up to the invasion, which has contributed to the tensions.
I've had some blinders on during this whole thing (one of many who didn't think this was really gonna go down), but as far as I can tell, there's not much of a dispute of that. I think I can grab a couple of sources if you'd like to see.

I didn't think it would happen either. I think a lot of us didn't.
i believe it, but if it's not a pain to find the sources, that would be helpful for my future discussions
