Borodyanka residents expect to find dozens of victims under the rubble of several buildings destroyed during clashes between Russian forces and Ukrainian troops.  The city is located about 75 kilometers (47 miles) northwest of the capital Kiev and had more than 12,000 inhabitants.
Russian troops occupied Borodianka as they marched on Kyiv in an attempt to encircle it.  They retreated in the last days of March after fierce fighting.  The city is without electricity, gas or other services.
A 77-year-old resident, Maria Vaselenko, said the bodies of her daughter and son-in-law had been in ruins for 36 days because Russian soldiers did not allow residents to search for loved ones or their bodies.  She said her two teenage grandchildren fled to Poland but are now orphans.
“The Russians were shooting. And some people wanted to come and help, but they were shooting,” he told the Associated Press.  “They put explosives under the dead.”

LVIV, Ukraine – Eyewitness descriptions come from Kramatorsk, the city in eastern Ukraine where a rocket hit a train station full of people displaced on Friday.
The Sydorenko family could have been among the 52 dead and more than 100 injured, but their taxi did not show up and they had to wait for another one.  They finally arrived for the evacuation train at 11 a.m. just three minutes after the explosion.
Ivan Sydorenko says there were about 2,000 people inside the station and on the stands when the rocket hit.  He says they got out of their taxi in a scene where cars are burning, parts of the missile are burning and people are fleeing to save their lives.
Ivan managed to escape by bus and then train with his wife and daughter, eventually reaching the relative security of Lviv in western Ukraine.  The Sydorenkos are just one of thousands of families shouting to leave eastern Ukraine ahead of an impending Russian offensive there.
Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said 10 evacuation corridors are scheduled for Saturday and other stations are open for trains full of refugees.
Russia, meanwhile, has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating “Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia’s intelligence have been made more than once.

KYIV, Ukraine – Panicked residents of eastern Ukraine boarded buses or sought other means of escape on Saturday, a day after a rocket attack that killed at least 52 people and injured more than 100 at a train station.
The attack on Kramatorsk left the city without moving trains and came with thousands of people trying to leave.  Ukrainian authorities have called on civilians to come out in the face of an impending, intensified attack by Russian forces in the east.
Residents on Saturday feared the kind of relentless attacks and squatting by Russian invaders that brought food shortages, building demolition and death in other cities in other parts of Ukraine.
“It was scary. Horror, horror,” a resident told Britain’s Sky television network, recalling Friday’s attack on the train station.  “Paradise, to live it again. No, I do not want to.”
Western military analysts say an arc of land in eastern Ukraine was under Russian control.  It was from Kharkiv – Ukraine’s second largest city – in the north to Kherson in the south.
However, Ukrainian counterattacks threaten Russian control of the Kherson, according to Western estimates, and Ukrainian forces repel Russian attacks in other parts of the Donbas region in the southeast.

WASHINGTON – U.S. intelligence officials predict that Russian President Vladimir Putin may use US support for Ukraine as an excuse for a new campaign to intervene in US politics.
Intelligence officials told the Associated Press that they had not yet found evidence that Putin had adopted measures such as those taken by Russia in the last two elections to support former President Donald Trump.  Several people familiar with the matter and speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive findings said it remained unclear which candidates Russia might try to field next.
Trump has repeatedly attacked US intelligence officials, claiming that investigations into Russian influence in his campaigns were politically motivated.  In Ukraine and elsewhere, Russia has been accused of trying to spread misinformation, amplifying pro-Kremlin voices in the West, and using cyber-attacks to upset governments.
Top US intelligence officials are still working on plans for a new Congress-mandated Center for Malicious Foreign Influence, which will focus on foreign-sponsored campaigns by Russia, China and other adversaries.
