In Ukraine, at least 39 people were killed and about 100 others wounded today in a missile attack on a crowded train station in the eastern city of Kramatorsk. Among the dead were four children. Ukrainian officials accused Russia of deliberately targeting civilians attempting to flee Russia’s heavy assault on the region. Russia has denied responsibility.

For the first time, the Kremlin’s spokesperson has acknowledged that Russia’s military has suffered significant losses. Dmitri Peskov spoke with the British channel Sky News.
