EU official calls Russian train attack near Poland an intimidation attempt

EU foreign policy chief Kallas called a Russian attack on a passenger train in Ukraine near the Polish border an intimidation attempt. She said the attack aims to scare Western states supporting Ukraine and urged them to do the opposite. Kallas appealed for showing support for Ukraine without fear. French Foreign Minister Barrot said the attack's goal was to divide Europeans, while Polish Prime Minister Tusk called it further escalation by Russia moving closer to the Polish border. A Russian combat drone struck the train at Ukraine's Yahodyn station near Poland yesterday, causing no injuries. The Ukrainian railway company said a train carrying security advisers from several EU states had stopped there shortly before.
