A “boundless evil” according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, a “horrible atrocity” committed by Moscow for US President Joe Biden, a “crime against humanity” according to French diplomacy: the Kramatorsk massacre, in the east of Ukraine, sparked a wave of Western condemnation on Friday 8 April. At least 50 people, including five children, were killed in a missile strike on the station, in full evacuation of civilians. Moscow has denied any responsibility. Here’s what to remember from the day. At least 50 dead in a missile strike on Kramatorsk station The missile fell around 10:30 a.m. (9:30 a.m. Paris time), at a time when candidates for evacuation have been gathering for days by the hundreds in the station from the city to flee the Donbass, now a priority objective for the Russian army. “Fifty dead, including five children,” regional governor Pavlo Kyrylenko wrote on Telegram messaging, adding that 38 people died on the spot and 12 in hospital, out of 98 people hospitalized in total. Moscow immediately denied being responsible, claiming not to have the type of missile which would have been used and denouncing a Ukrainian “provocation”. Emmanuel Macron wants to “gather evidence” against “Russian war crimes” “Even taking the maximum precautions that I have to take” as head of state, “I can say that these are crimes war of the Russians” in Ukraine, where abuses against civilians have been attributed to Russia, said Emmanuel Macron on the social network Brut. “I want us to collect the evidence. (…) And so, we sent gendarmes and magistrates in cooperation to help (…) to collect evidence of the guilt of Russian soldiers and the identity of these Russian soldiers,” added the French president.
European Commission President in Kyiv and Boutcha Russia is at risk of ‘breaking down’ due to ever tougher sanctions, while Ukraine has a ‘European future’, says Commission President Ursula von der Leyen European Union, during a visit to kyiv. Accompanied by Josep Borrell and Slovak Prime Minister Edouard Heger, Ursula von der Leyen also visited Boutcha, which has become a symbol of the atrocities of the war in Ukraine. The three leaders went to see the mass graves dug in this locality to bury the dozens of civilians killed since the beginning of the Russian invasion. Putin’s two daughters sanctioned by EU Europeans have sanctioned Vladimir Putin’s two daughters, now blacklisted by the European Union, along with more than 200 others, including several oligarchs close to the Russian president and bosses pro-Kremlin press. Already targeted by Washington and London, Maria Vorontsova and Katerina Tikhonova, born in 1985 and 1986 respectively, are the daughters of Vladimir Putin and Lioudmila Putina, from whom the Russian president announced that he had divorced in 2013. The eldest, Maria Vorontsova, is targeted for his role in Nomenko, a major investment project company in the health sector which provides “substantial sources of income” to the Russian government, specifies the official journal of the EU. His sister, Katerina Tikhonova, runs a support fund for young scientists created by companies whose leaders “are members of the inner circle of oligarchs” of the Russian president, according to the same source. A curfew in Odessa in the face of the threat of missile attack A curfew will be in force from Saturday evening to Monday morning in Odessa, the major Ukrainian port on the Black Sea, local authorities announced. After the bombing of the train station in Kramatorsk in eastern Ukraine, which killed at least 50 people, “a threat of a missile attack hangs over Odessa on April 10, 2022. That’s why a cover fire is imposed in Odessa and its region from 9 p.m. on April 9 until 6 a.m. on April 11, 2022,” the regional military administration said.
