A rocket attack on a train station in Ukraine's Kramatorsk city on Friday killed at least 50 people, including five children, said the local governor of Donetsk. Ukraine has blamed Russia for the attack, but Moscow has denied the accusation. This comes on a day European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen was in the country, where she visited the mass grave site in Bucha.
Meanwhile, Russia said it was shutting down the local offices of a number of international organisations, including Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International and the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, due to "violations of the current legislation of the Russian Federation,"
Russia was yesterday suspended from the UN Human Rights Council as punishment for the invasion of Ukraine. Of the 193 members of the UN General Assembly, 93 voted in favour of suspension while 24 voted against and 58 abstained.
Ukraine has warned residents in the east that they have a "last chance" to flee before a major Russian offensive expected in the Donbas region. However, trains evacuating residents were halted by Russian strikes on the only line still under Kyiv's control.
