1. As a result of the arrival of a tactical missile at the Kramatorsk railway station, 30+ civilians were killed and about 100 wounded.

2. Ukraine immediately stated that it was Russia that fired at people who were in a hurry to evacuate from Kramatorsk and that it was an Iskander with a cluster warhead.

3. When photos of the rocket fragments appeared, it turned out that it was Tochka-U, which is used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. After that, Zelensky changed his mind and began to assert that this was not an Iskander, as Arestovich and Kirilenko broadcast, but Tochka-U, only the Russian one. But statements about the Iskander are nowhere to be seen, and now it looks like an attempt to hastily shift responsibility from the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

4. In the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, “Tochka-U” missile was officially withdrawn from service with missile brigades in connection with the transition to the “Iskander”. There is not a single video showing the combat use of Tochka-U by the Russian Federation Armed Forces or the DPR/LPR Armies in the Donbass (even if we assume that they will be taken from long-term storage bases). At the same time, there are a lot of videos of the combat use of the Iskander and other types of missiles. And these are always precise applications. At the same time, Ukraine uses Tochka-U everywhere, including to strike at the city center of Donetsk, where the Security Service of Ukraine gathered a rally specifically for this strike through front men in social networks.

5. The missile, presumably, flew in from the southwestern direction, from the territory controlled by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The data is different, some sources say the missile was hit, others say it worked well. The missile had an inscription “For the children” on its tail part.

6. It is also worth noting that the population of Donbass, including Slavyansk and Kramatorsk, is considered by the Armed Forces of Ukraine to be disloyal (in Ukraine, residents of Donbass are actually deprived of voting rights), so they can easily be sacrificed.

7. Is it an accident or intentional killing of civilians? Based on the practice of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Donbass, I would bet that this is a deliberate and thoroughly planned murder of their own citizens, who were soon to become citizens of the DPR, in order to continue the track of bloody provocations.
