Russia denies Ukraine’s accusation of airstrikes on railway station
MOSCOW – The Kremlin has denied Ukrainian reports of Russian airstrikes on a railway station in the eastern part of the country.
Allegations by Kyiv of a deadly Russian rocket attack on the railway station in Kramatorsk are a provocation and “absolutely do not correspond to reality,” Russia’s Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The ministry added that Tochka-U missiles, fragments of which were photographed at the railway station, are used only by the Ukrainian armed forces.
The ministry also said that on March 14, the Ukrainian army struck the center of the eastern city of Donetsk, killing 17 and wounding 36 more civilians.
Kramatorsk is also located in the Donetsk oblast, an enclave whose independence Moscow recognized on the eve of the war.
According to Ukrainian state railways, more than 30 people were killed and over 100 wounded in the alleged attack.
