Russia kills 33 in ‘targeted’ Kramatorsk bus stop missile strike

Day 1,684.

Today, Russia continues its war against civilians in Ukraine, killing 33 in a single strike on a Kramatorsk bus stop. UKraine hits deep in Russia, targeting at least one oil refinery and a data centre, and as Moldova says it will install bomb shelters at border crossings following repeated Russian attacks, the UK has sanctioned its 645th shadow fleet vessel. And later, we answer your questions about the technical and tactical side of the war with the help of an expert on weapons technology.
