President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Facebook said that the invaders hit the Kramatorsk railway station by Tochka-U. He also confirmed the information about 30 killed.
"The invaders hit the Tochka-U at the Kramatorsk railway station, where thousands of Ukrainian civilians were waiting for evacuation ... About 30 killed, about 100 people were injured of varying severity. The police and rescuers are on the spot. Russian monsters do not leave their methods. Not in forces and courage to resist us on the battlefield, so they cynically destroy the civilian population. This is an evil that has no limits. And if it is not punished, it will never stop," Zelenskyy wrote.
As Ukrainian News Agency reported, Russia is attacking Ukraine with missiles transferred by Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum.
