Чотири роки теракту на вокзалі у Краматорську
В пам'ять про загиблих та заради наближення справедливості згадуємо, як українські й іноземні документалісти й правозахисні організації спростували російську дезінформацію про обстріл вокзалу у Краматорську 8 квітня 2022 року. Тоді російська ракета з касетними бомбами перетворила залізничний вокзал з натовпом на місце бойових дій, обірвавши життя тих, хто тікав від війни.

Daytime mass attacks, deadly strikes, and new safety measures on the railway: what the beginning of April will be remembered for in Ukraine
Russia is increasingly choosing daytime hours for its massive strikes, expanding the zone of destruction across Ukraine. The beginning of April will be remembered for devastating attacks on Lutsk, Poltava, and Zhytomyr region; Kharkiv endured several consecutive days under fire, and there were strikes on Odesa, Sumy, and Chernihiv. Over the weekend, the Russian army carried out a deadly attack on a market in Nikopol, and the day before, drones and missiles targeted Kyiv region. Every day, Donetsk and Sumy regions face bombings and drone raids. Drones and artillery continue to hit Kherson, while the enemy scatters antipersonnel mines throughout the city. Among the targets of Russian attacks this week were: a veterinary clinic with animals inside, food warehouses, a Nova Poshta terminal, and the only maternity hospital in Donetsk region. Due to constant aerial threats, railway routes experienced delays and passenger evacuations from trains.

Strike on UNESCO cultural heritage in Lviv, and the shelling of Dnipro and Odesa: intensified Russian air attacks on Ukraine
The last week of March will be remembered for unprecedented drone attacks that swept across almost every region of Ukraine, both day and night. On 24 March, Russian forces carried out the most massive UAV strike on Ukraine to date, launching nearly 1,000 drones in a single day. They targeted the centers of Ukrainian cities, cultural landmarks, maternity hospitals, and people’s homes. The historic center of Lviv was among the sites damaged. One of the most tragic episodes occurred near a maternity hospital in Ivano-Frankivsk, where a father and his daughter were killed while visiting his wife, who had just given birth. It was also a devastating week for Dnipro and Odesa — Russian drones struck residential buildings and a medical facility. Over the course of the week, three maternity hospitals became targets of Russian attacks, and at least four kindergartens were damaged.
