Russian forces have been widely accused of targeting civilian infrastructure throughout the Kremlin’s two-month military assault on its pro-democratic neighbour, allegations Moscow denies.

The prosecutor’s office said Russian forces had used rockets to strike “transport infrastructure” near the town of Zhmerynka and Kozyatyn.

The head of Ukraine railways, Alexander Kamyshin, had earlier announced the attacks, accusing Moscow’s army of “systematically” destroying railway infrastructure.

“This morning, within an hour, five railway stations in central and western Ukraine came under fire. At least 16 passenger trains will be delayed,” he said in a statement published on Telegram.

Dozens of humans were killed earlier this month in Russian moves on a train station used for evacuations inside the Japanese metropolis of Kramatorsk.
