The Bloodiest Russian Strikes Against Civilians: What Do We Know about Kramatorsk Missile Attack Now

The missile attack on the Kramatorsk railway station on April 8, 2022, is one of the bloodiest attacks by Russia against the Ukrainian civilian population. 61 people were killed, and more than 120 people were injured as they tried to leave for safer regions. At 10:28 a.m., when more than 3,000 people were at the station, the Russians struck with a 9M79-1 guided missile ("Tochka U").
The use of weapons of such precision and the nature of the injuries suggest that the strike was intended to cause maximum damage to people and actually disrupted the evacuation.

The "Station Kramatorsk" documentary is dedicated to everyone who was at the station that day: the dead, the wounded, those who saved others, and those who lost a loved one or saw the worst. It is an attempt to convey those terrible moments, to show what it means to be in the epicenter of such an attack. It is about the cruelty of the perpetrators of the tragedy and the incredible strength of the survivors and those who fought for their lives.
The film's protagonists are the surviving passengers Katia Iorgu, Olha Lialko, Ivan Popov, local volunteers Vitalii Osmukha and Olena Sementsova, local administration employees Anton Maliuskiy and Lilia Zolkina, and the head of the Kramatorsk railway station, Liubov Paziura.

The film was created as part of The Reckoning Project, an initiative of Ukrainian and international journalists, analysts, and lawyers to document war crimes — the team of the Public Interest Journalism Lab's team.
