The Govenment said it was "appalled" by a missile attack launched on civilians fleeing the war in Ukraine. Russia may have committed another war crime by targeting people fleeing from an eastern Ukraine railway station, the Defence Secretary said.
Ben Wallace vowed to “do everything” to ensure Vladimir Putin fails in Ukraine and confirmed Britain will be sending Mastiff armoured vehicles to aid the fight against the Russian President’s forces. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 30 people were killed in the attack on the crowded Kramatorsk station that was an evacuation point for civilians.
A further 100 people were injured, Mr Zelensky said as he blamed Russia for “an evil without limits”. The Kremlin has denied targeting the station.
