War in Ukraine: Latest developments

Here are the latest developments in the war in Ukraine:

- 50 killed at train station - 

At least 50 people are killed, including five children, in a rocket attack on a train station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk that is being used for civilian evacuations, according to Donestsk region governor Pavlo Kyrylenko. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky describes Russia as an "evil with no limits" after the attack. The leaders of the European Union, France and Germany respectively describe it as "horrifying", "abominable", and "atrocious".

Russia's defence ministry accuses Kyiv of carrying out the attack, saying in a statement it wanted to use fleeing residents "as a 'human shield' to defend the positions of Ukraine's Armed Forces".

- Eastern evacuation - 

The attack comes as civilians in eastern Ukraine struggle to evacuate, after officials tell them they have a "last chance" to avoid a major Russian offensive expected in the Donbas region.

Russia has redeployed its troops towards the east and south, aiming to create a land link between occupied Crimea and the Moscow-backed separatist statelets of Donetsk and Lugansk in Donbas.

- EU chief visits Bucha -

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visits a mass grave in Bucha, a town north of Kyiv where Russian forces are accused by Ukraine's allies of carrying out atrocities against civilians.

Von der Leyen is in the town as part of a trip to shore up support for Ukraine alongside the bloc's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell, with whom she is scheduled to meet Zelensky.

- Borodianka 'horrific' -

The destruction left by Russian troops in the town of Borodianka outside of Kyiv is "much more horrific" than the situation uncovered in the nearby town of Bucha, Zelensky says.

Ukraine's prosecutor general says 26 bodies have been recovered from underneath two destroyed apartment buildings there. 

- Odessa curfew -  

Ukraine's southern city of Odessa imposes a curfew from Saturday evening to Monday evening over a "missile strike threat" from Russia, and after the shelling of the train station in Kramatorsk. 

- New sanctions -

The European Union approves an embargo on Russian coal -- the first time the bloc has targeted the energy sector -- and the closing of its ports to Russian vessels. It also says it has frozen 29.5 billion euros in Russian and Belarusian assets so far.

The Group of Seven industrialised nations agrees to a ban on new investments in key sectors and fresh export restrictions, as well as the phasing out of Russian coal.

Britain announces sanctions on the daughters of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

- And arms -

Britain sends Ukraine more "high-grade military equipment" including Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles and 800 anti-tank missiles after what Prime Minister Boris Johnson calls the "unconscionable" attack on a train station.

Slovakia gives Ukraine an S-300 air defence system.

- Turkey hopeful on peace talks -

Russia and Ukraine are willing to move forward with talks even though images of bodies found in Bucha have stalled the process, an official from Turkey, which is mediating the process, says.

There are "some issues pending" including the status of the Donbas and Crimea regions as well as security guarantees, according to the official, who says there is no date fixed for the next round of negotiations.

- Moscow expels Polish diplomats -

Moscow is expelling 45 Polish diplomats, Russia's foreign ministry says, in a tit-for-tat move after Warsaw last month expelled the same number of Russian diplomats for espionage.
