Russia has proved its status as a terrorist country by shelling the Kramatorsk railway station and it must be punished.

Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said this in a statement posted on Twitter, Ukrinform reports.

Early on Friday, Russian troops fired a Tochka-U missile at the Kramatorsk railway station. At that time, there were thousands of people at the station waiting to be evacuated.

According to preliminary data, 39 people were killed and about 100 were injured in the attack.
