Zelenskiy noted: “Lacking the strength and courage to stand up to us on the battlefield, they are cynically destroying the civilian population.

“This is an evil that has no limits. And if it is not punished, it will never stop.”

Tochka missile with cluster munitions was fired by Russian forces, according to Donetsk region governor Pavlo Kyrylenko.

Following an airstrike on the line, three trains with evacuees were blocked in the same Ukrainian region, stated the Ukrainian Railways head.
