RUSSIA may have committed another war crime by targeting fleeing civilians at an eastern Ukraine railway station with precision missiles, the Defence Secretary said.
Station targeted, killing at least 30

Ben Wallace vowed to "do everything" to ensure Vladimir Putin fails in Ukraine and confirmed Britain will be sending Mastiff armoured vehicles to aid the fight against the Russian President's forces.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said at least 30 people were killed in the attack on the crowded Kramatorsk station that was an evacuation point for civilians.

A further 100 people were injured, Mr Zelensky said, as he blamed Russia for “an evil without limits", while the Kremlin denied targeting the station.

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said she was "appalled”, adding: “The targeting of civilians is a war crime. We will hold Russia and Putin to account."

Mr Wallace, visiting Romania for talks, said the strike was a repeat of the Russian president and his generals targeting civilians.
