The city of Kramatorsk is located in eastern Ukraine, in the Donbass region. The train station is an evacuation point for people fleeing the war. On Friday 8, in the morning, about 4.000 they waited to get on the trains, mostly older people, Women and children. It was precisely there wherebombed the russian army. Two missiles caused the death of more than 50 people and a hundred injured. There are previous reports that show the use of the same missiles in an attack on the town of Vuhledar.  

The Bucha Massacre

Bucha is a city of 37 thousand inhabitants, The Russians took it 27 February and withdrew on 31 of March.  When did they leave, the horror was exposed in the streets. Dozens of civilian bodies were found. Executed bound. Buried in mass graves. With signs of torture. The images of thebucha massacre they traveled the world. They will remain engraved in the retina of millions of people as a horror of the Russian invasion.

Like in Guernica or Sbrenica

People crying for the trauma experienced in Bucha gave testimony of what happened. And a video taken from a drone came to light that shows the moment in which two armored vehicles shoot a person who was riding a bicycle.. Satellite images had already captured the corpses in the streets. It is no coincidence that the Bucha massacre recalls what happened inGuernica (Viscaya 1937) and inSrebrenica (Bosnia 1995).

With an eye on Mariupol

in Mariupol, alone 35.000 people managed to leave and are counted approximately 2.500 dead. In the port city remain some 400.000 people. They no longer have enough water or food. The bombings destroyed almost all the infrastructure. Nonetheless, there was no surrender, that is why Putin's troops are preparing an offensive to defeat and occupy it.

Crimes against humanity

In all cases the Russian separatists and Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, they said that the killings are"provocations" Y"montages" ukrainians. Nevertheless, the images and the subsequent events confirm the savage Russian military performance. What the imperialist forces are doing under the orders of Putin are killing civilians. Crimes against humanity are being committed against our brothers.

teardrop cynicism

Facing the horrors of war, the sincere sensitivity of the peoples to the massacres grows. At the same time, the signs of cynicism of the Western imperialists and the bourgeois governments are multiplying.. cry on camera, but they do not allocate all the support that refugees need. And they have a long history of looking the other way when massacres take place in Syria., Palestine and other regions of the world; executed by the missiles of NATO and the United States.

we keep resisting

We repudiate the massacres and crimes against humanity throughout the world, Today in Kramatorsk, Kramatorsk. Get rid of the Russian imperialist troops from our territory. From the Ukrainian Socialist League we are part of the resistance against the invasion, we do not place trust in NATO or Western imperialism. We call on our Russian class brothers to mobilize against the Putin regime and, to the workers and peoples of the world, to form a great movement for the No to the War as theInternational Socialist League.
