The aftermath of Russia’s latest strikes on Ukraine over the weekend, including a drone attack on a train near the Ukraine-Poland border, continues to draw international reaction, as Kyiv reports damage to civilian and critical infrastructure.
Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has criticised a Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian locomotive near the Poland border, saying it was an example of the attacks on civilian infrastructure faced by Ukrainians daily.
Johnson was traveling on the same train line before the attack happened on Sunday.
Ukraine says a Russian drone strike on a train near the Poland border may have targeted a diplomatic train carrying former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European security officials. The strike hit a locomotive near Yahodyn station shortly before the diplomatic train was due to arrive, according to Ukrainian Railways.
The operator said the drone was detected before impact, and passengers were ordered to prepare for evacuation. No casualties were reported. Russia said it targeted railway infrastructure in western Ukraine, but has not commented on Kyiv’s claim that the diplomatic train may have been the intended target.
