Kramatorsk, the last major Donbas city still under Ukrainian control, is about 20 kilometers west of the front line.
Since the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces in February 2022, this city which had around 150,000 inhabitants before the war has been repeatedly attacked by Russian forces.
In April 2022, the Kramatorsk railway station was the target of a bombing, in which more than 60 people lost their lives.
