The UN has decried a strike blamed by Ukraine on Russia against a railway station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk that left at least 50 people dead.
“The strike on the Kramatorsk railway station in eastern Ukraine today, which killed and injured scores of civilians waiting to be evacuated, including many women, children and elderly, and other attacks against civilians and on civilian infrastructure are completely unacceptable,” Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN chief Antonio Guterres, said in written a statement.
Those attacks, he said, are “gross violations of international humanitarian law and international human rights law” and their perpetrators must be “held accountable.”
