A Russian missile attack killed 22 civilians and set a passenger train on fire in eastern Ukraine as the country marked its Independence Day under heavy shelling, officials in Kyiv said.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had warned of the risk of “repugnant Russian provocations” ahead of the 31st anniversary on Wednesday of Ukraine’s independence from Moscow-dominated Soviet rule, and public celebrations were cancelled.

The Russian defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Russia denies targeting civilians. The port city fell to Russian forces in April after weeks of intense shelling as they encircled Ukrainian holdouts at the Azovstal steel plant. Air raid sirens blared at least seven times in the capital Kyiv during the day though no attacks transpired.

It is very sad that the only people that experience brutal and death are not the governors , the of Ukraine president and his family are safe ,,he doesn't care about the people

Parties must find a peaceful way to resolve their issues. Escalation can only produce more deaths
