Bridget Brink, the US Ambassador to Ukraine, has responded to the Russian bombardment of Kherson railway station and posted a picture of the train that took damage on the strike for her followers to see.

"Last night, Russians brutally shelled the Kherson railway station as over 100 civilians were trying to evacuate after enduring hours of attacks. It is another reminder when most people are at home marking the holidays with family, Russia’s barbaric attacks continue in Ukraine," Brink wrote on Twitter.

Marija Pejčinović Burić, the Council of Europe Secretary General, also condemned the Russian attack.

At around 18:00 on 26 December, Ukrainska Pravda reported that Russian forces attacked a railway station in Kherson, killing a police officer and injuring two of his colleagues and two civilians.

Passengers of the train, which could not run away, were sent to Mykolaiv on buses.
