Krieg gegen die Ukraine: Viele Tote nach russischem Angriff auf Bus in Ostukraine
Die ukrainische Frontstadt Kramatorsk im Gebiet Donezk gehört zu den Eroberungszielen Russlands. Nach einem neuen schweren Angriff mit vielen Toten rufen die Behörden die Menschen zur Flucht auf.
Russian military forces reportedly killed at least 30 people and injured 18 others in a heavy assault on a bus in Kramatorsk, a city in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk region. Donezk regional military governor Wadym Filaschkin confirmed the figures, which have not been independently verified. Initially, only 12 deaths and 14 injuries were reported.
Filaschkin shared images of the burned-out bus on his Telegram channel, stating that the victims were killed by Russian forces and there is no justification for such an act. He urged residents in the Donetsk area to flee to safer regions of Ukraine and ordered urban military administrations in Kramatorsk and Slovyansk to halt public transportation due to the "drastic deterioration of the security situation."
Despite the evacuation appeals, many residents still refuse to leave their belongings behind. Filaschkin accused Russia of targeting civilians, saying that the country disregards all rules of warfare and humanitarian law, deliberately choosing targets that inflict the greatest harm on civilians. Russia has been waging a destructive military campaign against Ukraine for more than four and a half years, with the ultimate goal of bringing the Donetsk region fully under Moscow's control. Ukrainian forces defend their cities with Western military assistance.
