KYIV, Ukraine — Dozens of civilians were killed Friday in a Russian missile strike on a train station packed with evacuees, according to Ukrainian officials, who also warned that they expect to uncover further evidence of gruesome war crimes in parts of the country previously controlled by Russian troops. Ukraine said a railway station in the city of Kramatorsk where thousands of people had gathered for evacuation from their war-torn districts was hit by a Russian rocket Friday morning. At least 50 people were killed — including several children — and about 100 were wounded, officials said. Zelenskyy said that any investigation in Mariupol would show more of “the same cruelty, the same terrible crimes” by Russian troops as had been unearthed elsewhere. Russian troops have pulled out entirely from Kyiv’s environs, British defense officials said in an intelligence briefing Friday.
