Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said a Russian agent suspected of involvement in the deadly attack in Kramatorsk will be charged with treason. He said those who helped Russia destroy lives deserved the "severeest punishment". Twelve people, including three teenagers, were killed in a missile attack on a popular restaurant on Tuesday. Ukraine said the man, a resident of Kramatorsk, had sent video footage of the restaurant to the Russian military hours before it was vandalized. The victims included 14-year-old twin sisters Julija and Anna Aksenchenko and a 17-year-old girl. "The Russian missile stopped the heartbeats of the two angels," the education department of the Kramatorsk city council said in a statement. At least 60 others were wounded, including Colombian nationals and a prominent Ukrainian author. On Wednesday, Ukrainian security services released a photo of a local man they arrested, who they said was a Russian agent.
