Missile Strike Hits Train Station Killing Many
Thousands of civilians were at a train station in the eastern Ukraine city of Kramatorsk when a missile strike hit the building. It killed as many as 50 people and wounded many others, the Donetsk regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko said on Friday. Meanwhile, Slovak Prime Minister Eduard Heger, President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell visited Bucha on Friday.
The station was being used by civilians trying to evacuate. It is the latest evidence that Russians are deliberately targeting civilians. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy decried the Russian military as an “evil that knows no bounds.” You gotta be pretty cold hearted to attack a train station where there are women and children present.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki responded with this, “What we’ve seen over the course of the last six weeks or more than that has been what the president himself has characterized as war crimes,” Psaki said. “Which is the intentional targeting of civilians. This is yet another horrific atrocity committed by Russia, striking civilians who are trying to evacuate and reach safety. She added that the UD would be investigating, but at this rate something needs to be done fast.
“Obviously, the targeting of civilians would certainly be a war crime,” Psaki said. “And we’ve already called a range of the actions we’ve seen to date a war crime. But we’re going to be supporting efforts to investigate exactly what happened here.”
