Fact-check

After cross-checking, we got a tweet from British Broadcasting Corporation wherein they have dined the claims of stating that Ukraine was responsible for the missile attack on Kramatorsk Railway Station. 52 people were killed in the attack and mostly the crowd was filled with women and children

After checking the feeds of BBC on the official Twitter account, we found that no such tweets were made by BBC.
