KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Civilian evacuations are moving forward in patches of battle-scarred eastern Ukraine a day after a missile strike killed at least 52 people at a train station where thousands were waiting to leave before an expected Russian onslaught. In the wake of the attack in Kramatorsk, several European leaders made efforts to show solidarity with Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted the support during an interview Saturday with The Associated Press, but said “Of course it’s not enough” to change the change the course of the war. Zelenskyy calls the train station attack the latest sign of Russian war crimes. Russia denied it was responsible. Zelenskyy also repeated his call for a complete embargo on Russian oil and gas during his Saturday night video address.
