KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – A missile has hit a crowded train station in eastern Ukraine that was an evacuation point for civilians fleeing the war. Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said at least 30 were killed during Friday’s strike. Russia’s Defense Ministry denied it targeted the train station in Kramatorsk, a city in the eastern Donetsk region. But Zelenskyy blamed the Russians for “an evil without limits.” The office of Ukraine’s prosecutor-general said about 4,000 civilians were in and around the station, most of them women and children heeding calls to leave the area before Russian forces arrived. After failing to take Ukraine’s capital and withdrawing from northern Ukraine, Russia has shifted its troops and focus to eastern Ukraine.
