Russian missile that hit railway station ‘had sick message written on its side’

A Russian missile that struck a railway station and left more than 39 people dead is said to have "for the children" written on the side of it.

The sickening attack saw thousands of Ukrainians attempting to evacuate the station in Kramatorsk with over 87 wounded, many of which are serious injuries.

Civilians attempting to evacuate to safer parts of the country were struck by a suspected Russian assault, with missiles dropped on the railway station as Russia continues its invasion of Ukraine.

The Mayor of Kramatorsk says that roughly 4,000 people were inside the station when a missile marked with "for the children" was dropped on the station.

The disgusting message, presumably written by Russian servicemen who fired the missile, referred to Russian propaganda that insists Ukraine was bombing children in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.

The Kremlin is continuing to attempt justifications for the war as a "liberation" of those regions and a revenge for attacks propped up by Russian propaganda.

Ukrainian President Volodmyr Zelensky described Russia as an "evil with no limits" after the attack of Kramatorsk station.

He said: "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."

Sources concluded that the missile used by Russia may have been an Iskander, a modern missile that appeared to deploy cluster munitions.

The Kremlin has denied that Russia was involved in the missile strike, with spokesperson Dmitry Peskov saying the Russian armed forces had no missions scheduled for Kramatorsk.

The UK's Defence Secretary Ben Wallace condemned the attack as a "war crime" and that it was "not the first time" Russian forces had targeted civilians, The Telegraph reported.

He said: "What appears to be Russian missiles struck civilian people queuing for trains to seek a safer place from the war. The striking of civilian infrastructure is a war crime. These were precision missiles aimed at people trying to seek humanitarian shelter.

"It's not the first time in fact, it's sadly a repeat of many occasions when President Putin and his generals seek to take the war out oin civilians, civilian areas and civilian national infrastructure."
