Russia-Ukraine live news: Moscow to be held accountable, EU warns
The EU condemned Russia’s deadly bombardment of a railway station in Ukraine’s eastern city of Chaplyne and warned that those “responsible for Russian rocket terror will be held accountable”, Qazet.az reports.
The death toll from Russian missile attacks on Chaplyne has risen to 25 from an initially reported 22 after three more bodies were retrieved from the rubble in the town as rescue operations there ended, Ukrainian presidential aide Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on Thursday.
Russia is prepared to exploit any Ukrainian military activity near the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plantfor propaganda purposes, the British Ministry of Defence said.
Regional official Oleksiy Kuleba said there were six explosions during a series of missile attacks in the Vyshgorod area north of Kyiv, but did not report any casualties.
