A Russian airstrike hit near the train station in the south of Kiev, where thousands of women and children are being evacuated, according to the Ukrainian state railway company.
The firm Ukrzaliznytsya said that the station building suffered minor damage on Wednesday after the Russian attack and that “the number of victims is still unknown”.
This aggression comes just as attacks on densely populated cities in Ukraine intensify at the end of the first week of war in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s ambassador to the United States, Oskana Markarova, claimed that Russia used cluster munitions and vacuum bombs during its invasion in violation of the Geneva Convention.
For her part, Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States envoy to the United Nations, said that Vladimir Putin’s forces were prepared to use “exceptionally lethal weaponry” to achieve their objectives military.
Fighting between Ukrainian and Russian troops intensified in key cities on Wednesday as Vladimir Putin’s forces approached Kiev.
Meanwhile, the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko, said that Russia was gathering its forces “closer and closer” to the capital, despite the fact that a large military convoy stopped some 20 miles from the city.
