father,Iunderstand this very

well,”Zelenskysaid. But“we

don’t wanttoloseopportunities,

if we have them, for adiplomatic

solution.”

At least170 children have died

and over320 have beeninjured

since the warbeganinUkraine,

the country’sprosecutor general

saidSaturday.Five childrenwere

among thedeadand 16 were

injuredinthe strikeatthe train

station.Zelenskyalso calledfor

an international court to hold

Russiaaccountable for that at-

tackinKramatorsk.

“This is another warcrimeof

Russia,forwhich everyone in-

volvedwillbeheld accountable,”

Zelenskysaid in avideoaddress

Fridaynight.“Likethe massacre

in Bucha, likemanyotherRus-

sianwar crimes,the missile

strike in Kramatorsk mustbe

one of the charges at the

tribunal,whichis bound to hap-

pen.”

Although the Kramatorsksta-

tionwas notoperationalafter

the missileassault, the railway

company said twostations in the

Donetsk region andone station

in the Luhansk regionwere serv-

ing passengers.

In Luhansk, Haidai wroteon

Telegramthatvolunteershelped

almost600 people evacuate from

the provincein easternUkraine

by trainand bus. Thestate

railwaycompany saidearlier in

the daythatitwas tryingto

evacuate “asmanypeople as

possible.”

TheInternational Committee

of the RedCross managed to

evacuate 10 peoplewho were

severely wounded in Krama-

torsk,said PatriciaRey, headof

communicationsfor the organi-

zation.

Those civilians weretrans-

ported via ambulance to ahospi-

tal in Dnipro. “Itiscritically

importantthatcivilians trapped

in citiesare givenaway out but

alsothathumanitarian assis-

tance is allowedin these areas,”

Reysaid.

Citing the train station attack,

the regionalgovernment in

Odessa announced acurfew

from9p.m.Saturdayto6a.m.

Mondayfor residentsofthe

southernportcity. Although the

cityhas enduredrelatively few

attacksduring the war,two mis-

siles launched from the

Black Sea targeted critical infra-

structure in the Kirovohrad

and Odessa regions, killing no

one,the citycouncil reported

Friday.

In an efforttoeasethe human-

itariancatastrophe, Canadian

PrimeMinister Justin Trudeau

announcedSaturday thathis

government would charter

flights to Canada for Ukrainian

refugees,and wouldundertake

othermeasures to helpUkraini-

ans relocate to Canada.Thegov-

ernmentwillput Ukrainiansup

in hotelsfor twoweeks after

their arrivaland provide tempo-

rary incomesupport“to help

refugees getontheir feet,”

Trudeausaid.

As thewar drags on, Ukraine

faces challengesonmultiple

fronts. Itsgrain exports, already

severely disrupted since the war

began, are projected to fallfur-

ther, accordingtoU.S.govern-

mentdata. Wheat exportsare

projectedtodrop another 1mil-

lion tonsfromlastyear to

19 million tons thisyear, with

corn exports falling by more

than4milliontonsto23million

tons.

Withall of the BlackSea ports

in Ukraine blockaded by the

Russianmilitary, it is almost

impossiblefor thecountryto

export its agricultural produce.

As aresult, theprice of staplesis

soaring,hittingpoorercountries

especially hard.

TheRussian Ministry of Jus-

tice announced Fridaythatithad

revoked theregistration of Am-

nesty International, Human

Rights Watch andseveralother

internationalgroups.

Theministry saidthe groups

“were expelled after theywere

found to be in breach of the

currentlegislation of the Russian

Federation.”Itdid not speci-

fy whatlawswere allegedly bro-

ken.

Amnesty InternationalSecre-

taryGeneralAgnèsCallamard

saiditswork exposingRussian

war crimeswouldcontinue even

with its Moscow office shut

down. “Amnesty’sclosingdown

longlistoforganizations that

ing humanrights andspeaking

ties,”she said.

“Inacountry wherescores of
