War crimes in Ukraine have been revealed according to the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Kramatorsk train station is the latest that has been hit by Russian attacks resulting in civilian deaths.
“This is another war crime of Russia, for which everyone involved will be held accountable,” he said in his nightly address on Friday, adding that Russian state propaganda tried to blame Ukrainian armed forces for the attack.
“We expect a firm, global response to this war crime,” he said.
Zelensky confirmed previous reports from the head of the Donetsk region military administration, that at least 50 people were killed in the attack, including five children.
“Like the massacres in Bucha, as well as many other Russian war crimes, the missile strike on Kramatorsk must be one of the charges at the tribunal, which is bound to happen,” he said.
The Ukrainian President said “all the efforts of the world” will be directed to establish minute-by-minute “who did what, who gave orders, where did the rocket come from, who was carrying it, who gave the order, and how the strike was coordinated.”
“Responsibility is inevitable,” he said.
In Makariv, the mayor says 132 civilians were killed in the latest attacks by Russian forces.
“More than a month now we are without electricity, water, gas, without telephone lines. We don’t even have essential goods at home,” Tokar said.
Makariv, he said, has been hit by a “medical catastrophe,” with all doctors having been evacuated.
He also warned that people in the town need to be careful as mines are scattered in the fields.
“Our deforested areas are heavily littered with mines, and so we will work first on demining these areas before we can begin the full-fledged restoration of our infrastructure,” he said.
