Kremlin says a Ukrainian strike on a passenger train in Crimea complicates peace talks
A drone struck a passenger train in Russian-occupied Crimea and rail service was suspended — confirmed by the independent outlet The Moscow Times. Russia's framing, however, comes from state media: the Kremlin calls it a deliberate 'criminal attack on civilians' that complicates peace talks. That characterisation is so far carried only by Russian state sources; we are awaiting Ukraine's account, which has previously cast Crimea's railways as a Russian military supply line.
Russian state media say Ukraine deliberately struck a civilian passenger train and that the Kremlin condemns it as a 'criminal attack' showing bad faith that complicates peace negotiations. The independent Moscow Times confirms a train was hit and rail service suspended, but not the Kremlin's claim about the intent behind it.
