Kramatorsk Mayor Alexander Goncharenko reacted to the strike on the railway station. He is convinced that the Russians deliberately struck because they knew about the evacuation of the civilian population.
Alexander Goncharenko stressed that the evacuation starts every day at 10 am and the invaders knew about it. The mayor of Kramatorsk stated this on the air of a nationwide marathon.
Doctors from other cities are coming to Kramatorsk
Goncharenko said that doctors are coming to Kramatorsk from neighboring cities – Slavyansk, Konstantinovka, Druzhkovka. The wounded are still coming, so doctors are needed to operate them.
All the buses that are in the city and that will come from others will attract people from the station to evacuate. The evacuation route was changed, because, as the mayor of Kramatorsk noted, it was no secret to anyone that this particular city was the evacuation point for residents of the unoccupied territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
All knew that the evacuation every day at 10 a.m. the first trains began to depart. Therefore, the Russian invaders, I believe, deliberately attacked at 10:30 there were 4,000 people,” Gonchanenko said.
The mayor of Kramatorsk noted that most of the people who were at the station were children, women and the elderly.
