Welcome back to another week of Robertson’s Reportings! A Russian missile attack at a train station in eastern Ukraine killed 50 civilians and injured many more who were trying to escape the country. Around 4,000 people, particularly women and children, were at the train station when the missile struck. Officials found that the rocket had the Russian phrase “for children” on the side of the rocket, although it’s important to note that the meaning is closer to “on behalf of children” rather than that the attack was “aimed at children.” Russia denied the attack, claiming it was the fault of Ukrainian forces.
