Ukrainian officials say Russian forces are regrouping for a new offensive and that Moscow plans to occupy as much territory as possible in eastern Ukraine, known as Donbass, which borders Russia.
Local authorities in some areas are urging civilians to evacuate as far as possible and relatively safely to do so.
The bomber struck shortly after noon in front of a rally controlled by a Ukrainian-controlled railway near Barnikov station in eastern Ukraine.
Trains from Slovyansk, Kramatorsk and Liman, located in the Donetsk region, were blocked, Ukrainian media Hromadske reported.
The Ukrainian authorities are trying to evacuate civilians from the regions in eastern part of the countrythreatened with an imminent large-scale attack by the Russian army, while the president Volodymyr Zelensky announced that the disasters in Borodianka is even worse from those recently found in suburbs of the capital recaptured after the withdrawal of Russian troops.
The message written on a rocket that struck Kramatorsk, however, is questionable. These are two words “for” and “children”.
The simple translation is “for children”. However, according to skynews, it may mean “for what happened to the children”. According to another interpretation, this is the second part of the Russian slogan “for the homeland, for the children”.
