According to a latest report, the bombing of Kramatorsk station in the east of the country killed at least 52 people, including five children. Faced with the scale of the massacres in Ukraine, several investigations have been officially launched by the UN.

To Kramatorsk (Ukraine), the day after the strike on the station, Saturday, April 9, we find children’s drawings and maps. The children were surely playing before the explosion. “We heard a first noise and then an explosion. I pushed the kids into a corner of the building and lay on top of them”testifies Inna Balakovska, volunteer of the Red Cross.

The toll of the bombing of the Kramatorsk station is heavy: at least 52 dead and hundreds injured. Despite a missile bearing an inscription in Russian, the army denies the attack and blames Ukraine. “Ukrainian Armed Forces Attacked Kramatorsk Railway Station”, ensures Igor Konashenkovspokesperson for the Russian Defense Ministry. An investigation begins like a Butcha, where bodies are exhumed from mass graves in order to be autopsied, to understand how these Ukrainian civilians were killed. Ukrainian justice claims to have opened 5,000 war crimes investigations.
