39 Killed, 100 Injured in Ukraine Train Station Rocket Attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called on the West to bring Russia to justice

New Delhi:   39 people were killed today in a rocket attack on a train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, which was being used for civilian evacuations. Russia has denied that it launched the attack.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described Russia as an “evil with no limits” after the rocket attack. “They are cynically destroying the civilian population. This is an evil that has no limits. And if it is not punished, it will never stop,” he said.

World food prices hit their “highest levels ever” in March as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has disrupted wheat and coarse grain exports, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization said.

The United Nations General Assembly yesterday voted to suspend Russia from the UN Human Rights Council as punishment for the invasion of Ukraine. It is only the second-ever suspension of a country from the council after Libya in 2011.
