Volodymyr Zelensky has
vowed revenge on Russia after Putin’s forces rained missiles
down on a train station, killing 25 people including an 11-year-old boy, in a savage
Independence Day attack
The boy was killed when a
missile struck his house in Chaplyne and 24 people died later when rockets hit
the rural town’s railway station and set fire to five train carriages
yesterday.
The small town of 3,500 people
lies in the Dnipropetrovsk region – the scene of intense recent fighting
between Ukrainian and Kremlin forces.
Zelensky said in a late-night
address: “Chaplyne is our pain today. As of this moment, there are 25 dead,
five of them burned in the car, an 11-year-old boy died, a Russian missile
destroyed his house.
“Search and rescue operations
at the railway station will continue. We will definitely make the occupiers
bear responsibility for everything they have done. And we will certainly drive
the invaders out of our land.”
