after the Kramatorsk attack, the Russian army denies any missile launch

Maryse Burgot, special correspondent in Kramatorsk for France Télévisions, was right next to it when two missiles fell on the station, friday April 8. “We were filming near this station with policemen from Kramatorsk when they warned us that missiles had fallen on this station“, says the journalist, who says she came “on the field“at the station, but have since moved away, because”often these first strikes are followed by second strikes“.

“You have to realize that this station is central for this eastern region of Ukraine, for this Donbass. People, civilians were arriving from cities like Sloviansk or even Severodonetsk further east. They were gathering here to flee to the west which is safer. The authorities have also urged all civilians to evacuate the area.reports Maryse Burgot. She specifies that this evacuation proved to be complicated since “regularly, the Russians bombed the rails of this station, so it was necessary to repair“. The inhabitants of the town of Kramatorsk are “very shocked, (they) now manage to leave by bus and really want to flee this region as soon as possible“, says the journalist.
